The lower self actively looks for things to criticize in itself and others. — The Teacher
Weekly Exercise
This week try to rise above inner considering. When you see yourself having these ‘I’s try to divide your attention by interrupting them with a smile or look up and bring scale by seeing the clouds. Something simple to bring you back to the present moment.
I, you, he, she, we — in the garden of mystic lovers, these are not true distinctions. — Rumi
