Refletction on the self

[Deleted member 3828]

"Feel I lack a coherent self"
"Feel very dissociated throughout my daily life"
"Can't go through with my decisions"
"My mind just wanders off"
"Don't know who I am"

These problems are touched upon here
Very interesting talk for me though I'm not a fan of esotericism (but maybe another "me" is)

Tldr?

Trying to summarize it:

You are as a human by default in a very dissociated state.
He calls it being asleep.

Your body, your mind, your emotions are disconnected.
It's hard to "be in control" of "yourself" when "you" have several different subpersonalities which take control one after another in different moods/situations/times of day and around different people.

When you get your body a bit closer to the mind by trying to be aware of it
When you can identify your emotions (hard) without getting overwhelmed
When you recognize different "selves" in you that surface separately in your consciousness at different times

That's when the "real I" can manifest
He's in the union of the three
When he's there you are awake from the sleep
You can then do something you couldn't normally
