He Who Was Not

[Unbound]

I now understand my own assessment of the ego as being like a Prism, through which the White Light of consciousness is perceptually divided in to All, and yet the White Light and the Rainbow are two perceptions of the same.

At first, I thought that it was better to be the White Light, because that is clear, but then you lose all of the diverse colouration of the Rainbow. Yet, to be only Rainbow is to be without the unity of the White Light.

Thus, I realized, that the Prism is good, and natural, and to be the Prism is good, but what matters is whether or not this Prism is faceted in a balanced way to allow the White Light that comes through to continue in its Unity even though now in the form of the Rainbow. When the ego takes on more identities, it's like cracks and fissures in the crystallization which defract the unity of the White Light, and thus fragmentation .
