I'm interested in how others *know* this? stepping lightly, Christiana >> Hi Christiana, I would agree the ego is ever a trickster ... ever ready to find a new path to catch us off guard. The emotions are a bit easier for me than the mind. For example, if I feel upset, I can look and ask, "okay what am I afraid of?" The emotions are "Did we engage fully?" In other words, do my emotions overwhelm me or am I able to watch from a detached place? Actually, it's a really wonderful question Christiana, because it makes me think if i am able to do this emotionally, then why should I not be able to do the same thing with watching my mind take off on tangents, or engage in concepts, abstractions, ideas, theories, and so on... presents very interesting possibilities... not easy but certainly could be enormously useful in this path... I spent the day in nature, observing a swan, some geese, some crows, flowers, waters, watching everything be the fullness of its being, was very beautiful here today and I'm sunburned... at the ex's picking up Nicolas and being called to dinner... love to all ... "passghetti" time <g> What do you think? Anyone else have thoughts here? Love*Light*Laughter, Annette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
