If we observe ourselves truthfully and non-judgmentally, seeing the mechanisms of our personality in action, we can wake up, and our lives can be a miraculous unfolding of beauty and joy.
Don Richard Riso
I did up this video with others in mind but as I review it I realize I can learn from it. (Well that is a good thing ...at least someone will lol...my readership is down to the wee, wee numbers again.). I have been lost in mind and consumed by a heavy negative emotion lately. I might have been feeding my personality. Time for some mindfulness practice. I cannot say that, at this point, I am experiencing a "miraculous unfolding of beauty and joy", but I always feel a certain peace when I do come back to my moment.
So there is a disidentification from the movement of thought and the fluctuating emotions. There is a stepping back. You are not repressing anything. You are allowing it. But you can only allow it because there is an awareness. And that awareness is you, ultimately.
