.
It is conceit that kills us
and makes us cowards instead of gods.
.
Under the great Command: Know thy self, and that thou art mortal!
we have become fatally self-conscious, fatally self-important, fatally entangled in the cocoon coils of our conceit.
.
Now we have to admit we can't know ourselves, we can only know about ourselves.
And I am not interested to know about myself any more,
I only entangle myself in the knowing.
.
Now let me be myself,
now let me be myself, and flicker forth,
now let me be myself, in the being, one of the gods.
.
