um the coming back was that's where the work started i think it's a one more thing important thing to come back to was uh the awareness of how even meditation itself can become a behavioral compensation and coping mechanism to not have to go into the story and that perspective that you can be with anything that you can be your own best friend uh

It's like you described it as like an inner coziness. I love that. It's just like a sort of warmth that... there's less friction between these noises in your head. You know, it's like, we can be with this, we can work with this because I think when people say like, love yourself or be your own best friend, it can kind of sometimes seem like this fragmented thing.

There's like you, and then there's, there's a voice in your head and you're trying to like talk with that instead of just recognizing as that's like all part of one thing. Yeah. And just making space for that to feel safe.

And so I'm just curious, because you've been doing this work also with so many different people on both sides of it, like how much of our efforts, both through meditation, through our behavioral compensation of so many different things, are really our subtle desire to just feel safe?

ability to give reassurance to yourself, it's such a switch to where I think culturally it's kind of conditioned to be in the pursuit. I mean, it's literally written in the Declaration of Independence, the pursuit of happiness. It's the extraction of joy from something outside, right? And instead of the sharing of joy from the inner wellspring that you have, it's a different orientation. And

different things come out of both of those experiences separately.

And I think as you start to deepen in these practices and awarenesses, you start to see how your sensitivity raises and your ability to listen to more subtle whispers in yourself about things that are happening within your own psyche, about intuitive impulses to move in certain directions career-wise, a certain level of resonance and ability to see if somebody in a relationship dynamic is meant for you or not.

Like all of these things you start to attune to more. And that is an incredible place to live life from instead of just the wants and desires from ego. And so what's the difference of texture from desires that arise from stillness versus desires that arise from ego?
