Chapter #12 self mastery.

When we have awareness about what is happening inside ourself, love, happiness, satisfaction, mind, intellect… these aren’t just concepts anymore we know excatly what they are. and what creats happiness and what creats suffering. When we lack this internal awareness we are searching for happiness by hit and trail.

When we look inside the first thing we notice is there is this voice inside our head. It has been referred as many names mind, parasite, or just plain old noise. And it is constantly judging telling, freaking out and advicing what we suppose to do. Without any will of ours. It talks non stop. And what we are really trying to do is to reach a point where this voice is satisfied. It also calls itself I.
