Mmmm This is such a great post and an important one. Especially now with so much self projection going on. I found the book 'The Four Agreements' helpful in waking me up to this many years ago. It does take inner work to a whole new level - also of responsibility and freedom. I've had a HUGE growth spurt these last couple years (really over 7 years, but who's counting! lol). We're always a work in progress
