Taken Over By A Self

What is taken over?
Consciousness. 

We are given a ‘uniform’ at birth, a cultural identity which is the foundation of incarceration in a self. This self has no reality; it’s just a few ideas sewn together in the mind.

Our reality is consciousness, 
and ‘someone’ has turned the table* on us,
causing us to believe in a self.

Our stupidity is this simple.

*To turn the table: to reverse a situation, and gain an advantage.
