Great post, Silver, thanks!!
Something else occurred to me. I think it is also possible to use the ID as a gauge … if my thoughts drift … >there< … what is it about “there” that's pulling my attention and how did it get there?
[One of the probably not-so-useful ways of shutting off the ID is to never stop doing something … always occupying my mind with something. The trouble with that is … is it really getting me anywhere that I want to go. Unless I take the time to Stop the World and sit there for a while, I'll never quite see my growth and development (or lack thereof).
For instance, in this case, the ID was all about making judgments about others. Comparing myself, and my supposed growth, with theirs. My experience has been that when I react to someone, it's really a reflection talking to me. And when I turn that reflection inward, it's an opportunity (doncha just *love* opportunities??? LOL) to process and relinquish.
Good stuff.
