There comes a point in therapy,
where no further healing can occur through the personality.
A point where a stable, conscious ego has arisen out of the tidal danger of the subconscious.
And yet, where the ocean of inner information still carries the magnetic knotted loops of thought and psychic energy that distort the natural flow.
This is where talking stops, and watching and declining the invitation of habitual thoughts and feeling states becomes more important.
The personality itself becomes an object. That demanding this or that emotional attention the watcher simply, uninvolved, radiates compassion without moving from the present.
