The Essence of Meditation Is to Know Thyself

Thursday 19 January 2023

Negative and Positive Self-Images

A man asks about moving away from a negative self-image to a positive one. Rupert suggests that it’s ultimately better to have no self-image because it's not possible to make an image of the self. It’s better simply to be that self, and then its innate qualities express themselves in our life. However, as a halfway step it is legitimate, and sometimes necessary, to develop a positive self-image.
