20210604 - Space Of Awareness

There are a bunch of characters living inside of our mind. The playful one, the lazy, the enthusiastic, the good friend, the one who can deal with family, the hurt and weak, the I-know-best character, etc. A few of them tend to take up a little more space than the rest; the control-gang, let me introduce the them. We have the inner critic, the inner controller, the perfectionist and the pusher (and a few more). They have some things in common: They are very into should and must, right and wrong and they focus only on fixing and doing, never feeling or Being. For the control-gang, the present moment and Being seems very unproductive and boring or like something to achieve and be good at. There is nothing wrong about this gang, they all serve some purpose, but when we identify with them, believing this is who we are, we’re missing out on the richness of life, of Being, of the nature of our heart. Today we will focus on catching those sides of us and finding another way to be with ourselves.
