⁓ The Wall ⁓

- I confined myself to prison -

MY SOUL

Has been wrapped up

In attire

My true self

Has been hidden
Under a fake mind

A thick wall

Has been lifted
To its height

BESIDE

Defending against intruders

From outside

It enslaves

And imprisons me

Severely behind

[John the Baptist]

The fake mind is a very real concept. It is built up through years of mistaken beliefs, and conceals the true self from view. Serious spiritual work is needed to undo it, but it can be done.

Your words affirm the importance of confronting mistaken beliefs and uncovering the true self. Your encouragement inspires me to continue exploring these themes in my writing. Thank you for sharing your perspective!
