Listener question: what about positive emotions?

Listener question:  there has been a pattern in the past decade plus of judging my partner as "not giving me enough attention" and there is lots of evidence the mind will use to bolster this position. In recent months as I've worked with integration practices or noticing the patterns of self (sometimes called the shadow, or the unconscious) there's been a willingness to receive from my partner in a way that feels new. Then, in that receptivity, there is a feeling of deep received support, a form of attention, and appreciation. For some reason there's been a dropping down of the "do it my way" and receiving a lot more of "let's try his way" and the amount of love experienced is astonishing. Yet it still feels like a "need being met" or a "feeling loved" which is still self language. The brain creates a self in the same way it creates emotions (they are goal based concepts) so does this just mean the self is shifting gears vs disappearing? I guess there's some skepticism that the brain can shift to a degree where the self isn't built/rebuilt in some way. Is this still upholding that same story just in a new way?

Listener question: can we escape ourselves?

Listener question: how does this blog post fit in this conversation?"Wherever you go, however far you travel, regardless of how hard you try to disconnect, you will always be there. I think, more than anything else, I began to realize the importance of living a life that I can be proud of. Because there is simply no escaping it. You will always be you. You can travel to the ends of earth, but you always take yourself with you.The habits we form, the relationships we foster, the parenting strategies we employ, the work we choose to do, the character and integrity we pursue… all contribute to the person we spend time with in the future. No matter where you go, you will always be there. Make sure it’s someone you want to spend time with."

Listener question: loss and grief

I loved your analogy about marriage being like a car which can loose its purpose (besides looking pretty in the driveway). On a similar line I was thinking of past relationships like old dresses which became too small in size and are not my style anymore but still hang in my closet. The closet gets so full that no more new clothes fit in - no more new ones fit in and at the same time I cannot wear the old ones. Back to the relationships in this analogy: I still remember all the birthdays, the dates when we first met, all the places which remind me of them. Even that I do not want to be together with any of these past relationships when I am in my analytical mind. But there is so much grief and sadness, looking at these dresses, and knowing I will never fit in ever again. Any thoughts about how to process grief and sadness….

Listener comment : 'meddling'

' While conversing the conversation flows and when I begin to feel like my “I” is in need of defense, protection and/or reaction I feel it, i become aware almost like a thick yellow highlighter is highlighting a scene. I continue to remember nothing is personal. We all have our own conditioned beliefs and that is where behavior arises from. And don’t meddle. Meddling  was awhile ago a behavior of mine when “I” felt it was my job to explain this paradigm to others. I am now seeing how that too was a behavior caused by my own conditioned beliefs.

Listener question: individual responsibility

What I'm not seeing is that you said we don't have free will- that the programming is running the show and it is that that decides all behaviours. An incident in the past therefore could not be personal or have been any other way because the programme decided the action. Does that not relinquish the individual of any responsibility then? Are we saying that they literally had no capacity for awareness in that moment to think 'I can choose not to take this action'?
