Dear Friends,
While out to dinner, Joshua, you told the allegory of the bus. In my hearing of your allegory, I understood that the bus has a driver and also passengers. The bus represents our inner constellation of selves. I'll give some examples from my bus: Some of the passengers are terrified and scream out "stop the bus stop the bus, pull over NOW, we need to HIDE!". Other passengers are impatient and scream out "drive faster you lily lily-livered dweeb, we should have been there AGES AGO!"
What I heard you say, Joshua is that there can be some inner peace gained by understanding that the bus driver can drive wherever they want irregardless of the passengers' cacophony. Let's call this arrangement of the inner selves "the unperturbed driver". I agree that the unperturbed driver is a huge advancement over many of the strategies I've had for getting the bus down the road, and I think there is a further strategy which offers yet greater peace.
