| So in the same way, we find that the watching self, or the observing self,
|
| behind all our thoughts and feelings, is itself a thought
|
| That is to say, when the police enter a house in which there are thieves
|
| The thieves go up from the ground floor, the first floor
|
| When the police arrive on the first floor, the thieves have gone up to the
|
| second
|
| And so to the third, and finally, out to the roof
|
| And so when the go is about to be unmasked, it immediatly identifies with the
|
| higher self
|
| It goes up a level
|
| Because the religious game is simply a refined and highbrow version of the
|
| ordinary game
|
| How can I outwit me? |
| How can I one-up me?
|
| So, if I find, for example, that in the quest for pleasure
|
| The ordinary pleasures of the world, food, sex, power, food, sex, power
|
| All this becomes a drag, and I think, «No, it isn’t there.»
|
| So I go in for the arts, and literature, poetry, music, and I absorb myself in
|
| those pleasures
|
| Food, sex, power
|
| I absorb myself in literature, poetry, music
|
| Those pleasures
|
| Food, sex, power
|
| I absorb myself in literature, poetry, music
|
| Food, sex, power
|
| Literature, poetry, music
|
| Food, sex, power
|
| And after a while
|
| They aren’t the answer
|
| So I go to psychoanalysis
|
| And then I found out that’s not the answer
|
| I go to religion
|
| I’m still seeking what I was seeking when I wanted candy bars
|
| I wanna get that goody
|
| Only, I see now that, of course, not gonna be a material goody
|
| All material goodies fall apart, but maybe there’s a spiritual goody that’s not
|
| gonna fall apart
|
| But in that quest
|
| The quest is not different from the quest for the candy bar
|
| Same old story, only you’ve refined the candy bar, made it abstract and holy
|
| and blessed, and so on
|
| So it is with the higher self, the higher self’s your old ego
|
| And you sure hope it is eternal
|
| Food, sex, power
|
| I absorb myself in literature, poetry, music
|
| Those pleasures
|
| Food, sex, power
|
| I absorb myself in literature, poetry, music
|
| Those pleasures
|
| Food, sex power
|
| I absorb myself in literature, poetry, music
|
| Those pleasures
|
| Food, sex, power |
