Dear Ego,
I suppose you will be surprised to hear from me. Anyway, I hope you will give me the courtesy of reading what I have to say.
Others may or may not know you or even understand your reality but I know what you are. At best, you are a pretender to the throne of my kingdom.
My kingdom consists of a body with an amazing system of organs, functions and ability to do so much that you can never even begin to understand all that it does and is capable of doing; a wondrous thing called a mind which can travel amazing distances in less than a moment and create such masterpieces of a million kinds;
Numerous subtle bodies that perform subtle functions for my kingdom and so on.
However, you, being the pretender that you are, have no understanding or even an interest in trying to understand this miraculous wholeness. At best, you may gain some partial knowledge of a minuscule just so that it can help you stay entrenched in control of my kingdom.
Your first and only interest was to create a division, a separation in this kingdom by taking power and installing yourself as the master, which you are not. You took this control first by hypnotizing the mind through manipulation and acting as if you were the only well-wisher and protector of the kingdom.
You convinced the mind that I, whose voice can be heard only through the heart/conscience was a weak-spirited being that turned it into a loser (your words).
On the other hand, the moment you gained the mind’s attention, you made sure you would drown my voice through your loud racket, ensuring the mind and its sister brain, would be unable to hear my advice.
Sometimes, the heart would flutter and react at this impostor’s actions but you would force the mind to convince the brain that the heart was a fool and only lead the kingdom into trouble.
And, then, little by little you convinced the mind and the brain to totally start ignoring the heart and doing, instead, all that you commanded. The poor brain, burdened as it is with ensuring the smooth running of the kingdom, readily began to serve you.
You seize stupid little pleasures of the body and present them to the brain as a sign of your immense power and ability to bring happiness. But happiness, joy are alien to you for your very nature is dissatisfaction and, indeed, pain.
That’s what you are – a big PAIN! You are a pain to my kingdom and to all the myriad kingdoms around.
Your sleight of hand, trickery and chicanery will all become obvious one day, when the weakened kingdom, weakened by your actions, loses the ability to feel the immense and joy they would have felt had they heeded my advice. Then, perhaps, the kingdom will rebel and unseat you.
However, you will have succeeded in your plans by then for you really are just am impostor and pretender with neither love nor compassion for anything other than your puny tiny insignificant being. You will gladly leave the poor weak kingdom then but the kingdom will be rudderless, having lost the ability to heed or seek my advice.
Then you will slink quietly out, leaving a lost, broken , diseased, broken kingdom to its fate – a fate it never did deserve but for its trust in you and unwillingness to heed me, it’s true benefactor and well-wisher.
I call upon you, Ego, to mend your ways and to leave without further delay, while the kingdom still has a chance to regain its strength and find the peace, joy and happiness for which it was created.
With best regards,
The Silenced Master
