Comment on The self in its unity and boundedness and other fanciful myths by mastgirl

I really like your writing. The line that “a self may not know it can announce boundaries, that it can claim anything at all, or even that it can speak” is so true, and I especially like the next paragraph on coming to terms with this and “learning to take notice”…to find a voice, but with compassion.

Thank you for your thoughts. Boy, it sounds like you know where I’m coming from! Maybe you’re right about the drama. I’d rather believe that than that I’m lazy…I think. I want to get used to not being in crisis mode…that gets so draining.

I know the overwhelming thoughts, the thinking that won’t stop before I go to sleep, the thinking that I can hide from when I am awake and keep busy. The big “p” word - I know that, too. Nothing gets done until it is a crisis and then I can worry about that, too. To find the Nike thing - that would be great. Just do it! Somehow it doesn’t feel as good without a bunch of drama though. Maybe I need drama to stay real -

Thank you so much for your comment. I like the sound of “yoga of the heart”….sounds like something I should look in to. I want to be more open, less defensive/closed.
I think that if you’re going to be addicted to something that exercise is one of the better things to be addicted to…I’m not there yet, but hope to get back to that point soon.

What an interesting insight–there are so many ways in which what we do with ourselves physically reflects how we feel and also can shape it. Doing some anusara yoga (yoga of the heart) has got me aware of how opening up the heart/chest area can be emotionally opening–and how crunching it in can feel defensive and closed. I have been having some of the body image difficulties too-gyms and all the mirrors and flourescence can be a little tricky this way. But the exercise does help with depression and feeling stronger, I think, in fact so much so that it can be addicting (but then for me everything is).

Thanks for your post!

Thank you so much for the comment! Maybe I will shout out and ask…can’t hurt to ask…may help.
Today is a better/calmer day. Hope it lasts. Thanks again, my
friend.

It is not too much to ask! I think the asking is good. Shout out and ask the universe for that clarity and simplicity.

I’m so glad you posted. You are such a good writer. Hope these recent days have been better.

Thanks ama. It seems to be key because I’m not convinced the vortex goes away completely, so we’re trying to reframe and find new ways of dealing with it, even of being in it, though of course we’d rather keep our distance when we can.
