Illuminate the Committee in Your Head Day 15

Disidentification

Building upon the self-identification exercise from yesterday, we can intentionally use disidentification as a means to shift our perception.  You have a body but you are not your body.  When you identify with your body, and your body changes, your identity is affected.  Identification and disidentification are natural functions throughout our lives though it may never have occurred to you to do this intentionally.  You have emotions but you are not your emotions.  You choose how to express or repress your emotions.  Lastly, you have a mind but you are not your mind.  You can choose to think the way you wish to think.  The “self” that observes the body, the emotions, and the mind is the inner director – the Chair of your committee.

Centering Exercise by John Cullen, Ph.D.

“I have a body, but I am more than my body.  I am the one who is aware:  the self, the center.  My body may be rested or tired, active or inactive, but I remain the same, the observer at the center of all my experience.  I am aware of my body, but I am more than my body.

I have emotions, but I am more than my emotions.  Whether I feel excited or dull, I recognize that I am not changing.  I have emotions, but I am more than my emotions.

I have an intellect, but I am more than my intellect.  Regardless of my thoughts and regardless of how my beliefs have changed over the years, I remain the one who is aware, the one who chooses, the one who directs my thinking process.  I have an intellect, but I am more than that.
