You can separate yourself from it and therefore how can it be 'you'? Complete identification with it may make it appear that its you, but it's really not. All it takes is one step back and that become overwhelmingly (and very joyfully) obvious! good thread this! |
I don't understand how it is a part of you that cannot be denied and yet is not you. The separation is only in your mind. I think it would be nearer the truth to say you recognized a part of yourself that you were previously unaware of. Congratulations.
