Pretending to be real

The ego loves to pretend it is spiritual. It loves to fool you through the mind and ideas that it is the truth and no other exists. It will hold onto anything that props up its appearance and gives it credibility. It is the great mimicker of what is real and there is no greater con artist. It gives the appearance of what is true, but it lacks the feel of truth and the certainty of knowing. It is the part, trying to appear as the whole and lacking the feel of the soul. It is the need to be right and not knowing that you are right. It must keep up all appearances and defend itself at all cost. It is the master of illusion and the creator of delusion. It desperately wants to be real, if only it could feel. As an identity you can only hide within it and pretend to be real, but it always lacks the feel that comes with knowing what is true and what is real.
