3 There is no definition for a lie that serves to make it true. Nor can there be a truth that lies conceal effectively. The ego’s unreality is not denied by words nor is its meaning clear because its nature seems to have a form. Who can define the undefinable? And yet there is an answer even here.

In spite of what Jesus is telling me in this section, that the ego is nothing, my thinking mind longed for a definition. It insisted on naming and defining because that is what the mind does. It is the way it makes separation. It pieces off from the whole, gives it a name, creates illusional boundaries and says, “There. I have created this thing and made it real.” It’s a joke.

The ego remains nothing and cannot be given substance through my insistence that it exist. Giving it form did not make it real. I made bodies and trees, and all manner of form and gave myself seeing instead of vision, and said, “See, it must be real. There it is.” I made a thinking mind that sends thoughts to support the ego and emotions like fear to terrorize and rage to impress me with its might. And still it does not exist.

And with all of this unreal proof, distraction and disguise, the truth remains fixed in my mind waiting patiently for me to tire of the game and take notice. It goes nowhere and is not in any way diminished by my self imposed ignorance.

There, I see You. I thought You were destroyed, and all along, I just had my eyes closed. Ha ha ha.
