.


It was time or more to the point Un-time
He removed himself from himself and became the observer
No longer a subject of time’s limitations
He flew into the past to the first time his parents were telling him No
There laying besides him was an egg,
a strange place for an egg to be so he picked it up and wrote No on the egg.

The next scene was him being told that he shouldn’t climb the tree
because he would fall and break his neck.
He saw another egg by the tree and added it to the other marking it with the experience.
Another egg stood by his parents fighting,
and others were found in scenes of abuse, negativity ,limited beliefs and disappointments.

He watched this lifetime of passing scenes from boy, to adolescent, to man.
Each time there was an egg and each time a yellow or orange wave entered his head.
by now his basket had become pretty full and so was his conditioning.

He looked at all the eggs and wondered.
An egg is a birth inside a shell
A shell is a protection or a trap if not hatched.
The egg will grow into that which is determined by parentage and environment.

He took the very first egg and saw the “No” written on it.
He realized this should not belong to him.
He cracked it open and let its essence flow into a frying pan
it was then transformed into sustenance.
He did the same to the next egg, the result was the same.

There was a slight shift in his being like something had been erased.
The concept of it fascinated him, could it be that simple,
could something negative bring a positive?
He tried one of the heaver eggs but it would not crack.
He fought and fought to break the shell,
but the shell would not release its hold.

It seemed his insight was in error.
There are just some things we cannot breakthrough.
He heard a whisper like the passing of a gentle breeze
it was just 3 words. Let It Go.
He extended out his arm and let the egg drop to the floor.
The shell cracked open releasing that which was contained inside.

The journey of dissipating the eggs has started
and as goes the egg so goes the ego.
