Remembering those times when there was exactly zero choice helps.

Does your system have a favorite show that all or most agree on?
Forgive me for breaking the flow of the thread! I was reading back over the post from earlier, and I just wanted to ask Yagr a question, if that's ok.

So, am I understanding that you willingly cooperate with that part, that wants to step in, and you step back? When you said that "it may have happened organically if we had continued to push ourselves" it made me think of the times that the zip line has come in and taken me away.

When you cooperate, is that like consciousness? Are you there as a "passenger" and observing/witnessing or do you go away?

Please forgive all the questions! Just trying to sort this out.

Your question did not get answered, I don't think, earlier.

When you ask if there is a show, I'm thinking that you may mean television. I don't watch TV, too much meanness there!

I would like to pass it along to the next person, since I don't have an answer.
