The illusion of self
I think having an illusion of self is essential for us to be able to navigate the world and survive. However, with a lack of self awareness, we allow the illusion of self to dominate our lives. Dualistic thinking takes over. My world becomes burdened with comparison, differentiation and separation and I begin to spend too much time creating a self image for people to acknowledge.
I am beginning to realise that this image I create, is in fact, only seen by me.
I was thinking about the Tree of knowledge of good and evil when drawing this picture. When challenged by God, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. With this act of not taking responsibility for their actions, driven by a new dualistic and egoic sense of self, suffering was born. This dualistic thinking, which is largely argumentative, has been dominant in my life. Perhaps fashioned by society, culture and education but ultimately fuelled by a misguided sense of self
