The Ego, a heightened awareness of the past and future. Stuck in the past or trying to forecast the future, unable to be in the present. Pulled back into the past evaluating, re-evaluating, replaying. Maybe it’s regret, shame, mistakes, betrayal, blame, guilt, judgment. The path forward is to live in the past.
Future-casting, trying to calculate the future, manipulate the now, setting the dominoes in place, trying to set how they fall. A control. Trying to outsmart, probability, tendencies, the unpredictable.
Not trusting the now, the instincts, intuitions, insight and the openness, flow of the moment. Trust. Confidence. That all things for the better, what may come, there is no good or bad, there is just what is.
