Self-Remembering

Ask yourself this question: Am I awake?

Consciousness can make you very aware

Of what the face behind the mask you wear

Now really is; and the knowledge will shake

So-called analysts up and thereby break

Controlling thought-form barriers down, where

Indulgence has led many to forswear

On themselves that they know they do not fake.

Useless liars, all of them: they cannot

See themselves as just robotic machines

Needing to get in touch with their Essence.

Essence is the power source to be sought,

Subdued, and developed: this only means

Spirit must be tapped for Life to make sense.
