   If one knows one's own mind, then one knows one's own mind.   
   That might be obviously true and goes without saying.   
      
   If one knows one is projecting, and how ego is involved, one knows.   
      
   It's possible that all human minds are not the same.   
   And without having read them all, one simply does not know.   
      
   Paradigms can be fun though.   
   Some are more logical than others uttered.   
      
   Assumptions, hypotheticals, knowings,   
   thinkings and believings one knows, everything all   
   about how all human minds are the same.   
      
   My ego used to be much bigger than it is now.   
   But one might not be able to know that   
   unless one knew me when it was.   
      
   As this ego ages, it dies a slow death.   
   One day at a time at times.
