we're like moths

our consciousness is always focusing on the ego, much like a moth trapped under a street light.

this is it's natural state. only when we are in a alterated state of mind can we distance ourselves from this obsession. like the psychedelic experience for exemple.

but this is only a temporate state. when sobriety sets in, we go back rushing toward ego-driven matters, the blinding light.

i like it.. i like how the moth flying into the light thinks it attains it but then finds itself out the other side back in darkness, or it bumps its head on the bulb.. seems egolike

The apotheosis of man was not good for his perspective, and with that in mind I think it's difficult to say what the 'natural state' really is.  But I like your analogy, and I like your post. :thumbup:
