Two Beans']There was never a time when I was not, nor you, nor these others. Nor will there ever be a time to come when we shall cease.

 

As one passes in this body through childhood, youth and old age, even so is the taking on of other bodies. This does not trouble the wise. Of the nonexistent, there is no coming to be. Of the existent, there is no ceasing to be. That by which all this is pervaded cannot be destroyed. As one casts off worn out clothes, and puts on others that are new, even so, the self casts off worn out bodies, and assumes others that are new. Weapons cannot cut this self. Fire cannot burn it. Water does not make it wet, nor the wind dry. it is eternal, all pervading, changeless, and unmoved. It is the same forever. It is said to be unmanifest, inconceivable and without change. Knowing it thus you should not grieve ...

 

The Knower, the Central Self, is not born and does not die. It is not produced from anything, and produces nothing apart from itself. It is unborn, eternal, enduring, primordial. It is not slain when the body is slain ... If the slayer thinks he slays or if the slain thinks he is slain, neither understand. It neither slays nor can be slain. Smaller than the small, greater than the great, it is the Self in the heart of all beings ...

Acually, those are the words of Alan Watts, paraphrased from the Bhagavad Gita. Or, at least that's where I got them from.

That's why I said the philosophy of William Blake. whose views were nearly identical to those of Alan Watts about the human mentality, ego, id e.t.c.
