Thirty years ago , I learned from my training ,and have never forgotten:

You have a body.You are not your body.

You have feelings.You are not your feelings.

You have desires.You are not your desires.

You have a mind.You are not your mind.

You have beliefs and attitudes.You are not your beliefs and attitudes.

Who are you ?

You are a Self , observing all these realms,acting through them , but also distinct from them.

You are a Self.You have a metaphysical existence.

''The experience of Self'', wrote Jungian analyst Marie-Louise von Franz ,

 ''brings a feeling of standing on solid ground inside oneself, on a patch of eternity , 

which even physical death cannot touch."

You are A Self

Be Your Self
