And they don't quite let themselves discover that which is greater than the ego. Because in some ways, that's the kind of radical premise of both these systems.
one personality ego, like I am anxious. Oh, I should try not to be anxious. Oh, let me meditate to not be anxious. Or the other side of it is, oh, there's nobody here that's anxious. There actually is no self. There's just movement of energy and stories. There's just stories just appearing and coming and going. There's nobody here. So the middle one is to realize, oh, part of me is anxious.
oh, there is a part of me that's anxious. Okay, let me see, where is that part in or around my body? And literally locate it like, oh, this part is like grabbing me by the throat. And it's like, all right, can you thank this part for trying to help you? So there's the next radical thing. So rather than saying, the judge is bad and stop being angry at the ego and
judging the judge, and then judging the judge for judging the judge.
You actually start in this kind of parts-based internal family systems approach by saying there's no bad parts. And so you start to appreciate you're trying, your intention of even the mean part in you, the rageful part, is trying to help you intentionally. Now it can act out and do negative things, you may have noticed, but we can talk about that later.
There's a positive intention, especially when you start with it internally, when it starts to talk internally. And that part isn't just a thought or even a story or a belief. It's a thought, feeling, sensation that thinks it's an identity, thinks it's you. So that's what a part is. It's just a different approach. And it sneaks up and looks out of your eyes and says, I, I am anxious.
I can't believe that this person and then that makes me feel this way. And so it keeps saying I, but you realize as soon as you can locate it, and thank it and appreciate it's trying to help because it's protective. It's a protective part. It's a managing part. It's trying to survive. It's a survival strategy.
Then you can ask it for some space and then you step out or drop down to your heart or step out to be aware of it from another part of you. And then you can actually open up to be aware of both that mindful witness and your awake, aware mind that's interconnected with it and that has naturally unconditioned love and understanding.
And that's what integrates it. And that's what has capacity to bear like, you know, rage and terror and are just not, are too big for any ego. That's right. That has been held down from normal, just life and energy of being a full human being. You gotta have energy.
And if you move it up another channel to be really nice or to be really workaholic or whatever that is, it'll go through that line of energy. But if you let it kind of steam off, you get more space for it. That's the key is you have more space. And not spaced out. More space in and out. You're the sky and the cloud. And then it starts to self-liberate.
And you start to appreciate what its motivation and you unburden it from its belief. That's where the story comes in. You unburden it from this story that, oh, I need to do this because of what I was doing when I was five years old.
Yeah, and I'll just follow up what you said about, you know, because the problem is, and the natural human condition is trying to find safety and survival, surviving and thriving. So it wants to survive, but it also positively wants to thrive, wants to, you know, and even desire. It's not bad. Desire is thriving.
I want to get, I want to connect, I want to, but then it gets addictive or it gets and survive. So the key becomes, where do you find the new safety? So when you go to this pure awareness and then it is what's called same taste or unity mind or embodied presence, the feeling is of a ground. You feel grounded and safe And now the key to embodied action is you've got to trust being flow.
You've got to act. You can't go up, back up to say, okay, now I'm going to do something, so I better think about what I'm going to do. You stay home, and you have to get like this, like when you're in a flow when you do a sport or a dance or something athletic or music. You play music, listen to music, play with children.
gardening, all these activities that people enter to be in this flow, the same principles apply, but you can just do it anywhere, even on a subway in New York City. You can feel safe. You drop, open, and include. You feel the safety and then you respond.
You look out of the eyes of your heart almost like you're really kind of home and trusting that the information from the office of your head is coming down to your heart mind and your kind of boundless heart. And that's the feeling of... of this potential that isn't so far away. It sounds like, oh, wow, well, there's certainly parts of us like, oh, that's good for him.
He went to India, but I'll never do it. So anybody who recognize those parts, that's a part. There's gonna be a doubting part. There's gonna be a trying part. And that's how we start is often by saying, OK, let's find the parts that are going to protecting us from doing going to the next level. They're just saying, look, we're safe by staying just as we are.
They're trying hard and they're doubting and they're, you know, shame based. I'll never do it. It's for everyone else. I'm not good enough. If only I do this first, then it'll be. No. How about now?
You're here. It's there. The premise, as you say, of local awareness and awake awareness is that when we do these glimpses, which are these practices that can be done any time of day, and that's the thing. You can do them sitting in the morning. You can do it before and then sit. Or you can sit and then do them. Or you can do them... one of the favorite places is hit the snooze alarm in bed.
Give yourself five minutes. Like don't even get up and meditate. Just like you're in the sleep state, you come into liminal state and you hit the snooze alarm, roll over and either listen to or like a glimpse or do a glimpse and then get out of bed.
