inner life

is in nothing other than multiple drives competing within us for dominance . . . What we think of ourselves is always biased by the perspective of whatever drive is dominant at a particular time.

That we even have an inner life suggests that there are multiple drives competing within us for dominance. If we see our mind as a battlefield of competing drives, we can no longer assume that we can take an unbiased look at ourselves. What we think of ourselves is always biased by the perspective of whatever drive is dominant at a particular time, and does not represent the whole complex of drives that make us up.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

is wise to cultivate --- if an egg is broken by outside force, life ends. If broken by inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from inside.
