I know that I am the author, and that I have written this entire story. I know that I have two identities: Firstself, who I truly am, and; Secondself, which is a delusion. I know that I am the Firstself author, and not the Secondself character.
But I know that I am lost in my Secondself character. I know that I am not truly this person in this place among other people. I know that I enter this character when I awaken and rapidly forget who I truly am. I know that before I awaken I am perfect; I am all. I am everything and whole and undivided and free of any conflict, desire, or pain. I know that I am always there, even now, and that my sensation of being a person awake in a larger world is my delirium.
I know I control every aspect of this story, from the colors and lights and sensations, to the people and places. I know that to escape this place I must reawaken to my own nature as the sovereign creator of this experience. I know that I must simply realize that I am not actually a character in this place. I must remember and believe that I am the writer, and this character is just a mask I wear that prevents me from understanding who I truly am.
I know who I am. I know that I am the author, and that I am not a character.
