Hi Lady V , just reading your last post and I have always thought the opposite in that the less you focus( over think) on something the more you are in touch with the real you and not thinking from within your ' programs ' or ( bad ) life experiences. I think someone once said ( Petterson or Confucius ??) life is simple but we insist on making it complicated. This to me is overthinking, analysing when there is no need to , etc. In touch with your higher power , for me, is living in the now and experiencing reality and not living in the past or future to any real degree. I spend a far bit of time in meetings and it's amazing to watch people and i try and see their ' real ' persona as opposed to what they are trying to project. We all have egos but it's seeing that ego for what it is , more like a separate part of us and not a healthy part in lots of ways. For example , the minute I hear someone call themselves ' a strong person ' , i wonder who they are telling ? , and i think often they are trying to convince themselves more than others, again ego. Would a strong person need to state it and how many people would consider themselves weak ???
Anyway , just my thoughts , im off to instruct at my meditation class !!!!!
