Kick In The Head
The purpose of the spiritual teacher
is to anihilate the pupil's ego.
Whack!
Ouch!
That hurt!
Whack! Whack!
C'mon...'killin' me!
Whack! Whack! Whack!
(pause)
(silence)
I feel embarrassed,
but I am not my embarrassment.
I am confused,
but I am not my confusion.
(inward retreat)
I have feelings
but I am not my feelings.
(silence...waiting)
Am I childish?
Am I not childish?
Am I neither?
(pause)
Whew!
Good thing I know my Self
from a hole in the ground.
And many thanks
to the One
who just
kicked the shit
out of my ego.
Blessings.
