I'm in a loop about ...

Quote From: ritehere

We're talking about the same thing, but our experiences are different.

I understand what you mean about the Watcher, it's the practice of becoming self aware. Through this practice I have zeroed in on a quirk that may be peculiar to me only.

My experience is that I'm always there in the moment, I don't feel like I'm watching somebody else, however, I do have the feeling of watching myself from within. What my experience is, is that when my mind (or ego, as Tolle calls it),  is gearing up to influence me in some way, I get a physical reaction of the light around me dimming and a narrowing of my vision. I find this is an excellent tip-off to really pay attention to what my thoughts are saying to me.

 

And about your state of life, what is it that you are working on at the moment that you find yourself in a loop about? (Sometimes you are cryptic and it is difficult to follow your drift.)

 

P.S. Wasn't the inventor of the light bulb Edison?

 

I keep coming back to the same thoughts / feelings. It's the same thing every time. The same words  showing up in my writing.   I'm just now on pg 8 of Martha's book and it's showing me exactly what's going on with me.  I feel / know that I know my truth; however, my normal "conditioned" thought pattern has me returning to the same place. I know that I'm just going to continue to read the book as it's going to help me do differently. I'm just not sure what to do next ... all my tools aren't working right now to help me move on.  I'm just at a whole new plane and because I've never been here before, I'm having to seek assistance.

WOW, you actually see a change .. that's awesome.  I just find myself listening ...  seeing what's going on around me ... and being able to hear myself talk to myself separate from the actual moment.  I first experienced it back in 2004 when I started to do SELF MATTERS.  It was a little scary ..  now it's quite common and doesn't scare me anymore. I just know that I'm in watcher mode and that it's going to be okay.

Yes, it was Edison .. I'm just seeing Einstein's commercials on TV right now and simply confused the two.
