Hi lovely Clare,
Can you say more about what is happening when the ego's needs for validation, approval, being liked, etc. *do* seem to be met? What is that?
Sometimes it seems like a temporary respite, like giving a piece of candy to a child who is tantruming. Other times it seems like presence/connection emerges and there's simply life unfolding and then the mind labels it as "belonging" or "being seen/heard/validated".
Can you share more about that please?
