We are chasing shadows of our ego

Reflection of destiny

Remnants persist in neurons

Quack, quack, quazar!
Tick, Tick, Tick
TOCK

protons and indeed electrons

“All learning is remembering” Plato said long ago

Ego swimming,
As above, so below

Protection
Beyond

VEIL
thinning
thinning
thinning

Norrin Radd
Zenn La

Oh names of old recollecting heartbeat memories.

Eat whole thy ego

Poem Summary
This is a cosmic-spiritual meditation on ego dissolution through recollection.

We chase the “shadows of our ego” — mere reflections of destiny — while the remnants of who we are stubbornly persist, not just in brain cells (neurons) but at the subatomic level (protons, electrons). Time ticks relentlessly toward some final “TOCK,” punctuated by absurd, quantum-flavored nonsense (“Quack, quack, quazar!”).

Plato’s ancient truth resurfaces: “All learning is remembering.” The ego swims in the hermetic mirror (“as above, so below”), protected yet increasingly exposed as the veil between worlds grows thin, thinner, thinnest.

Old mythic names rise — Norrin Radd of Zenn-La (the Silver Surfer, cosmic wanderer) — stirring “heartbeat memories” from the deep past. The poem ends with a blunt, almost devotional command: “Eat whole thy ego.”

In short: Remember who you really are across every layer of reality, let the veil dissolve, and devour the illusion of self to become free.

A playful yet profound mash-up of Platonic philosophy, quantum mysticism, hermeticism, and Marvel lore — all circling the same idea you asked about earlier: remembering isn’t just nostalgia… it’s the path to transcendence.
