People forget that we are temporal beings and that this is a temporary life with an inevitable ending. Blake was right. The only wealth that truly exists is inner wealth. The only thing that is permanent is the Spiritual Reality that underlies our illusory existence as temporary travelers on planet Earth.
May be you'll like to hear this W.Blake's poem sung by Tuli Kupferger ("The Fugs") - here is the video I posted in 2015. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kmpV7LUJ1ys.html :)
Everyone who is not "self realised" lives in "mind forge manacles" layer upon layer of conditioned identity. Only when this false identity is seen, do we see that identification of self with thoughts (ego) is what imprisons us. Blake was a fully conscious man and this is what he meant.
