Dealing with 'Bad Girl' and Other Denigrating Self-Concepts

A woman asks how to deal with denigrating self-concepts such as 'bad girl', or 'I am crap at this.' Rupert responds that these ideas come from a lack of clarity around who we really are, reinforced by decades of conditioning such as – as if you practice hard enough you will become or acquire something. What you are is prior to all these experiences and practices, so we sink back into our true nature rather than reaching towards it. Rupert suggests, in this case, less meditation and more self-enquiry – a loving exploration of who ‘I’ really am.
