This was fantastic i now do this every day thanks

Initially, you will find it hard to focus as the stuff will go around your head but slowly you will be able to meditate and reap the benefits of Dhyana.

thank you so much. it makes me feel insane that i just spoke to myself, but yeah. it was amazing.

@Jesus,

This is not an attack. I'm merely attempting to be informative. I find it interesting that you used a capital "S" instead of a lowercase "s" for the self you were referring to. It does make a difference. Buddhism doesn't state that having a sense of Self is a bad thing. Buddhism states that having a sense of the "self" that holds selfish/materialistic desires is a bad thing, because the materials of the world are false and impermanent. Take money for example. Money comes and goes. If you base your happiness level on whether you have it or not, when you have it, you will be happy. When you don't, you will be miserable. This conflict on the basis of money causes pain. Instead, we should let go of these material desires and seek for what is permanent and can make us happy in the end: that inner part of us labelled "Self"; the one that holds connection to our neighbors and stems from The One.

I prefer not to call my ego the "Controller"... it seems this would give power to the notion that the ego is "in charge"... which is not the case. I permit my ego to have many helpful auto-responses, unless I override them... like if I feel nervous late at night, out by myslef... I can either let the ego guide my actions out of past knowledge and possible fear, or choose to override my previous permission to opt for Prayer, Thanking God for protecting me, in which case I have nothing to fear. I do like speaking with my ego, especially when I want it to work with me to solve some problem... after all it is the storehouse of all my choices, decisions & much knowledge.

I prefer to address my ego this way: Dear ego, I Love & Appreciate you. You are a part of me and I accept you unconditionally. You are my faithful companion through life; my guide to all I have witnessed & all my choices from the past. You are the voice I hear & speak to most often. I know there are other voices in there with you, the Skeptic's voice, Desire's voice, the Watcher or Observer, the Spirit-self beyond the Observer, Non-Seeking mind or no-thought, Universal or God mind, to Big Heart mind. For a time I would like to speak with you and each of these other voices, exploring my connection with each of them, one at a time. Thank you, ego, for assisting me in this journey of discovery!

Then to each mind I would start by telling them that I Love & appreciate them, & that I wish to commune with them. I'd tell them: I bring no judgements or pre-conceived notions... You are a part of me and I accept you unconditionally. Then I would ask my questions: What is your role or job; what do you control, how and when do you interact with me; what is contained in you; how do you respond and what forms do your responses take; do you have any limits or concerns; is there anything else you'd like me to know? Thanks you so much for speaking with me. I hope we can do this again sometime soon. At the end I'd ask... Are there any other voices that would like to speak?

These are just my thoughts... Love to All, kat
