For as long as you are identifying your-self with your mind, emotions and body, the "I" is a very unpredictable authority, because for one thing your thoughts are constantly changing and fluctuating between two extremes. Secondly they are hardly ever in correlation with your emotions and body. As often as not, the three of them all have their own way and even if in harmony at times, you are never sure when one of them might break out again. The over-all effect being that "you" are in turn happy/sad/certain/confused etc. Plus, there is life and the people you are sharing it with, to be taken into the account too, which in this state of (un-)consciousness rarely appear rarely reliable and constantly peaceful either.
Upon becoming conscious of your lower self including its thoughts, emotions and body, realization dawns on you, that you are in fact neither your mind, nor body nor emotions, but the neutral spectator, witnessing all that is going on in the within and without. This gives you the power to view all that you are thinking, feeling and doing from your still centre within where tranquillity and freedom reign, while simultaneously taking active participation in the game of life. However with a sensation of detachment, because Life has become rather like film in which you are not only the protagonist but at the same time the spectator and the director, too. And maybe you will even come to remember that you are also the original playwright. And you begin seeing your own drama playing alongside the ones of the people surrounding you and at times your story-lines intermingling or simply touching each other's. And maybe one day you have become proficient enough to recognize that although the topics and tasks to be fulfilled in your personal film have been decided upon beforehand, you are actually free to improvise the scenes that take you there. Taking into account, too, that your story is one of a million of others which together are all forming yet another story and are as such part of the immensely great picture called Divine Unity of Creation.
