I agree, there are worse things than selfishness. Although it's vaunted a lot nowadays so I s'pose we don't want to narcissistically go too far the other way. <br /><br />Am I talking about something in particular? Well, it is an element of myself that tends to come out in certain situations, but it just feels ... it feels redeemable until I remind myself that maybe this is the part of me that is not. Whenever I do that, it's like it automatically puts it into perspective. I know that rather than work on this aspect, it needs putting back in its box where it belongs. I think the inner critic is possibly related to this.<br /><br />Gee, I sound a bit mad when I put it out there like this :P<br /><br />Harry - I think we are possibly talking along the same lines, I'm not entirely sure. I suspect this stuff works pretty much the same for most people, but I do think we all frame it in different ways to suit our own personalities, I guess, or what speaks most to our subconscious. Or something :)<br /><br />Jon - hi there, Jon. How you going, in the long days of short-wearing weather? :) <br /><br />I haven't seen Platoon but yeah, that's what I'm talking about (but boy oh boy, those bloody Hollywood movies, they sure pile on the mood music, don't they? Would have maybe sounded more poignant without 1100 violins invading my head :)<br /><br />Goodfornowt - hello there, sir. That was an interesting post you linked to. I wonder about that - why do some people give into their horrendous impulses and others don't? I wonder if the person who has acknowledged that they have those sorts of ... if not impulses, at least thoughts (even if not aloud for fear of being locked up, and even not for very long with yourself) would not be better able to deal with impulses if they *did* arise, be less likely to act on them? I'm not sure.

The character played by Charlie Sheen(ironically enough) says we did no fight the enemy, we fought ourselves and the enemy was in us...Lot's to mull on.

And all this seems to occur with you as a spectator - it's not really happening to 'you', but to this imagined self, the ego if you like. The ego's being unmasked for what it is - a dreamed-up idea - and what you really are is taking over the reins. But there's a lot of kickin' 'n' screamin' before it stops running things. Hope that helps:)Harry Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14341037712756284832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-10202136963639733842011-06-08T23:46:15.787+10:002011-06-08T23:46:15.787+10:00Oh I'm very much in touch with my dark side. I...Oh I'm very much in touch with my dark side. I have seen it enough to recognize it when it is arising. I haven't always been able to squelch it, but I have learned over the years that sometimes it is my muse and I have to let it out in a controlled fashion. However, my dark side isn't violent, it is only selfish. Sometimes that has almost been my undoing, but I guess there are worse things.<br /><br />Are you speaking of something in particular, or just in general?Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067954787472463337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4879615387850345622.post-1062637933028093812011-06-08T23:26:47.787+10:002011-06-08T23:26:47.787+10:00Thanks, Harry.

I dunno what's happening. I wonder to myself if I am "energy clearing" (been doing a bit of that) or just simply fallen back into old patterns without even realising it. It's a bizarre experience. Those spaces feel like they are the ONLY space when I am in them ... and that experience I had for 6 weeks or whatever it's been, where seemingly every fear, every guilt experience, every shame experienced, followed me around and mocked me.

It's when we wake up to the lies our mind-created self has been telling us... there's still the experience of these things, but as if in a lucid dream, and they no longer have any control over us. This is what being 'born again' really means:)<br /><br />Great writing, as ever.Harry Rileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14341037712756284832noreply@blogger.com
