Awesome!

I just watched this video that was posted by my favorite blogger, Boho Girl.
The recognition of these experiences... truly understanding... that I was not alone in them...moved me to tears several time.

I tend to experience the world in these distinct extremes quite often, and by choice. It is something that I have known about myself, but never quite understood... something that I seemed to understand as a tool that I could wield.

The pain in my life has come of the frustrations when these two selves want to compete for a moment and I cannot seem to distinguish who should have the priority, nor how to get them to function together in a truly effective way... a way that I understood, that I know to exist.

Through spiritual practice and spiritual education I began to discover and better understand what I thought of as my spiritual self and began practice at teaching that self to act as Great Overseer and my other, thinking, judging self as a sort of assistant. This seemed to be a natural, and most effective way of experiencing both selves at the same time... tempering the distraction and inaction of total euphoria leading to a lack of care for involvement, by allowing my other self to bring world reality understanding into the equation... tempering the fear of the intensity of the physical world with the understanding and peace of that All-Knowing Overseer.
Like going through the world as my own personal Guru-Student team.

I loved this video.
