Being and/or Doing.
We are being ourselves most of the time in one way or another.
Relating back to yesterday we need to ask, what does being myself mean?
Who am I?
With a little meditation we start to see the inner dictates, the different versions of our selves interrelating with one another.
Different versions of our selves being the way we may behave with our parents for example as opposed to friends we've known for many years.
The differences may be slight or severe.
We tend to show different parts of our selves to different people for good reason.
It's not a question of right or wrong, how we relate to a lover would be very different (hopefully) to the way we may relate to a work colleague.
So this is all relatively obvious stuff.
But how do we relate to our self with our selves?
Who is running the show from moment to moment?
The 'sub personality' model of psychosynthesis is the closest thing (as far as I know) to explaining this phenomena in a complete way.
As the 'Yogi Within' evolves he/she oversees the other complexities of the personality. The Yogi has an integrating quality. He/she can also act as executioner disposing of any outworn or outmoded ways of behaving, ways of behaving that compromise our expanding consciousness.
In yogic terms these limiting factors may be called 'Samskara's or Granthi knots. (look them up).
