What is my relationship to my brain?
Thoughts uninvited appear in my head;
And yet, I speak of them as “mine” — they came
From “my” brain which I think of just the same
As though they were deliberate, instead
Of arising from The World, or words I’ve read,
Or telepathic message I might blame
On you, or MKUltra. If I claim
These thoughts as sourced by me, where am I led?
One answer: an expanded sense of mind.
The word “I” means two things — don’t be deceived.
The flesh and blood which we identify
Tugs on us constantly and makes us blind
To who we really are. You’ll be relieved
To know that death can’t touch th’expanded “I”.
