It's so true how the inner complainer can take you out of the wonderful now. A few years ago, I was reading a lot of Thich Nhat Hanh, and he always talks about speaking to the inner voices. In his case, he speaks gently to then, offers tea and cookies, and asks them to sit quietly until he has a moment. I have tried this, but I'm not always so patient. Reading your post, I realize it doesn't matter all that much what I say to my inner voices. What matters is separating them out, so I don't identify as "me" a voice that's working against what I want. And there are so many voices. I'm taking your lead and working on finding the heart voice. It's hard work, but I trust that it's what I need to do. I really appreciate what you're saying here. You can tell your ego voice that your blog is a huge help to others! (Of course then the ego takes credit, but that's another problem.) Anyway, many thanks for writing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08288935120774241198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8136268241054850544.post-46819513136049987582013-08-31T13:59:05.679-04:002013-08-31T13:59:05.679-04:00Love this post!

The Ego will always be there, no matter what - trying to tell us one thing, pull us down a dark road, etc. but it's with the insight and love and experience of being sober and moving through these things that we can relinquish Ego's control (or perceived control) over us. <br /><br />There is still the Me that was created and put on this Earth - the majestic, wonderful, positive and vibrant Me. It's just a matter of who we nuture :)<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Paul<br /><br />P.S For some reason I have not been getting your new posts in my WP Reader.
