Ego – The Delusional Thinker
Do you know that we live in a world of delusions? It is because we live in a world of words. However, there is a world without words that exists right before us in the present, what we call reality, which is eternal and timeless. The only thing that separates us from it is our perception.

It is not meditation if you are trying to escape but just another way of using self-hypnosis.
