Super-ego and the Great Deception

[Cantando]

No matter how much you are expanding the boundaries of your playground of consciousnesss, you are just creating bigger toys and more sophisticated mind games. You are always in the field of madness. You are always being Super-ego.
Even if you are serving lots of charitable causes, feeling one with nature and it's a beautiful day - you are still in the madness. You are just having a good trip rather than a bad one.

It has always eluded the proud, the strong, the foolish, the curious, the 'wise' and all scientific analysis. When you think you have it, it slips through your fingers.
I guarantee that for each and every one of you reading this, that there will come a moment (it may be in the next minute, day, month, year or in a billion years time), when, suddenly, without warning, your legs will buckle and you will utter such a heart-rendering groan from the depths of your despair that it will echo throughout the halls of eternity,
