Unholy threesome

Divide and conquer

The primary deception

lies in the perception

that we're not really whole,

that our parts play their own role.

So we split body and mind,

our feeling and our thinking,

and turn our soul blind

and send our heart sinking.

We still manage to get by,

living this insidious lie.

Our ego takes over control

and acts as if it was the whole.

Yet it's still our own decision

whether to be whole or in division.

Conquered

Once body and mind have disconnected,

which isn't trivial to be corrected,

we become dependent on outer guidance,

available readily for blind compliance.

Our minds start to rationalise

why it's so good to specialise.

Instead of adapting to any environment

we succumb to any given predicament.

Our bodies slowly deteriorate -

isn't that our only fate?

We get used to the creepy feeling

that we have lost our inner healing.

We can still live a life in glory,

but that's a completely different story.

Reunited

We need a body to think and feel,

yet we choose which one is more real -

Our thinking in its lucid clarity,

or our feeling in its plasticity.

Our emotions reflect the whole picture,

while our minds like a clear structure.

This just seems like opposition,

as reality is a delicate composition.

While our ego prefers one or the other,

our soul doesn't really bother -

with impeccable precision

it uses both for any decision.

From the perspective of the whole

each part plays its indispensable role.
