That's a defiance.

That's me relative to something else.

And so I think that when we land here, we sort of splat.

And our mind and our body and our breath go in all sorts of directions.

And so we come up identified with the mind.

We land kind of face down on the mind and we come up identified there.

And so we think that's who we are.

And so that's why beliefs are running our lives is what the mind believes means more when I'm identified as the mind.

But if I pull mind, body, breath together, I'm actually identified not as the mind, not as the personality, but as a soulful presence that is here.

And so the closest the mind can get to that is developing the witness mind.

The observing mind is right at the edge, at the space between the two, which is why it's so important to develop the witness observing mind.

And so what I'm saying is, if you'll direct that witness observing mind to the body,

and say, where in the body could I build some circuits to better be able to handle life in my wholeness, that witness observing mind is going to develop an ability to sense and feel aspects of your own consciousness that have been being marginalized by you.

So the mind has, think of it this way, an analytical, strategizing, thinking mind and an observing witness presencing mind.

It's all mind, but we use it in one way or the other.

And so the invitation here is right when you find yourself using your mind in this analytical push-drive strategizing way, let's get the body involved.

Let's slow that down because it's driving your life off-core.

off center and you're way out here having to make it work and that's why people burn out that's why people are you know trying to retire and trying to get out of it and finding ways to you know try to function in the world that it seems too crazy it's because they're not grounded in their true timeless present self

And if they would call their mind onto the function of witness, observe, come inside, you're going to be able to unpack versions of yourself you've been overriding and suppressing for decades.

And that energy is the energy that you're craving running down the street, overperforming, over-trying, overdoing in a way that is costing you.
