T. Harv Eker explains disidentifying from your thoughts: treating them as separate bubbles of information you can observe rather than believe. This creates space between stimulus and response, letting you choose your actions instead of running on autopilot from past conditioning.
You're not your mind. Your mind is a part of you. But you are much bigger and greater than just your mind. You are the container, the vessel that holds what's in your mind. And the key to true power and freedom. Is to be able to disidentify with your mind. To be able to distinguish between yourself and your mind. To be able to separate and. And get some space from it so you can see your mind and what we call witness it. From the observer position, watching it do its thing. When you can separate, when you can disassociate from being the voice. Then for the first time, you can actually listen. And watch the voice do what it normally does without it stopping you. Once you realize you're not your mind. Then for the first time, you have true choice in the present moment. Instead of being run based on automatic.
Programming from the past.
That's what we call consciousness. Once you realize you're not your mind. You can watch your thoughts and feelings bubble up. But you don't have to believe them, and you don't have to act. Act or not act based on them. They're just bubbles of recorded information.
That's all they are that we don't now have to buy into.
Most people don't know this. And they make the big mistake of believing that their conditioning are who they learn to be. Their personality is who they are. And so their lives are run by the conditioned mind or the ego self. Their lives are run by the voice in.
In their head.
So again, even though the way we are is normal.
It doesn't mean it's our natural or true self. It just means this is the conditioned way.
What we live in.
