Are You Attached to a Self?
Your “self” is your I Am this and that which you are currently operating as, in this moment.
It can and does change and evolve constantly unless you become attached to a specifically defined iteration of this “self”. Which then leads to your EGO helping you to feel good about your current “self” through seeking validation, justification, and then defending it, all while keeping you away from the discomfort of anything that may chanllenge it … even if it is you considering a new and different idea or concept.
