Self-disassociation
"Knowledge is trying to move your life in a certain direction, but if you keep trying to move your life in a different direction, you will feel a tremendous inner conflict and uncertainty. And the more willful you are, the more determined you are to take your life where you think it should go, the greater this conflict will be, and the more you will be disassociated from your deeper nature and the deeper current of your life.
This disassociation is the fundamental problem and source of suffering for people."[1]
"Many people think their primary relationship is with themselves, but how can you have a relationship with yourself unless you are already disassociated from yourself?"[2]
"If you have a relationship with yourself, then you are already disassociated from yourself. There is you and then there is yourself. Who is the you, then, who is not yourself? And who is the self that is not you?
Therefore, it is necessary for you to accept that you are disassociated from yourself, that you are disassociated from others and that you are disassociated from God."[1]
"Your disassociation from yourself, from others and from God is primarily an issue of competition for power."[1]
"The disassociation within yourself must be healed."[3]
Overcoming disassociation
"As your relationship with God becomes more real and apparent to you and as you are able to experience it more completely, your sense of disassociation, which is the root cause of your guilt, fear and uncertainty will be erased. Eventually, it will disappear forever."[3]
"Ultimately, it becomes the pull of your destiny that draws you, that brings your life together, that enables you to follow one voice within your mind instead of many voices. This is what enables you to overcome conflict and self-disassociation. Here things that are meaningful within you become stronger, and things that are meaningless begin to be discerned and to fall away."[4]
