awesome. :o) Love to make people smile..no, really i do.
i have even mentioned to my T that i feel torn between both sides.. and sadly the left brain has the bullhorn. :/
if you want to try an experiement for yourself... and i am NOT recruiting or trying to push anything weird... but you should give Buddhist meditation a try.. particularly Shambhala. It's non-religious meditation practice.
the reason i mention it is because it focusses on distancing oneself from that little voice. You try to allow it to speak without engaging it. Allow thoughts to arise and then drift away without interacting.
it is a very intense and difficult process and it is amazing what can happen. i have found a lot of psychology principles overlap.. and i am finding that some schema therapists use eastern philosophy techniques as well.
i once did a meditation weekend... 8hrs a day! and things drift up, like anger, sexual thoughts.. everything. The little voice does a little tantrum.
But the mind is a funny thing.. so much more than just that little voice that we all think is all we are.
(please don't redirect this post... it's not about religion!)
