Our Inner Selves have nothing whatsoever to do with the external details of our lives. It can’t be sullied, compromised or victimized. It’s a witness to everything that happens. It’s beyond the tension of the polarities that makeup everyday existence. It resides permanently in peaceful contentment. During the most challenging times, it’s crucial and most helpful to connect with this part of ourselves. Imagining that we’re viewing the situation from 30 feet above our bodies and looking at it with detached curiosity helps us see that what’s happening isn’t who we are, it’s just part of our experience…

A very small part.
