Befriending the Editor + Creator
Once you see the split in your mind and understand it, it is not a problem!
My job as an only child is to help people befriend themselves.
[I adore Fight Club. Intensity. Truth.
As an only child, my greatest fear growing up is that something would happen to my parents. I loved them more than anything in the world. I had no siblings; they were wonderful people who loved me and offered me the world. Everything I do is for them, and now too, for my future family I'm creating.]
Being an only child forces you to be alone in your own mind often and the split becomes very apparent.
Freud: this split is the seed of neurosis.
Hilariously, my father as an identical twin, literally, split in two.
Fascinating.
So as far as I can tell, it's about learning to befriend yourself.
I certainly understand the "voice", the inner division that can take place.
It's about realizing you are two halves to a whole and you are both important.
The creator does one thing: dances, plays, spells things wrong, gets the gist of the emotion and moment.
The uptight editor can come in at a later time, in a different mindset, slashing, erasing, and precisely executing better structure and details.
Work together! Like the inhale and the exhale, the one and the two. The back and forth, again and again.
The inhale is not the exhale. But together they are breathing.
Write and play and stop judging yourself already!
Edit and come back like a snob, seeing your best self and perfecting your vision to the best of your ability.
Somewhere between the ebb and flow lies true balance and sattva, ease of effort.
