Internal Awareness Quotes

“This is the essence of mindsight: We must look inward to know our own internal world before we can map clearly the internal state, the mind, of the other. As we grow in our ability to know ourselves we become receptive to knowing each other. And as a "we" is woven into the neurons of our mirroring brains, even our sense of self is illuminated by the light or our connection. With internal awareness and empathy, self-empowerment and joining, differentiation and linkage, we create harmony within the resonating circuits of our social brains.”
― Daniel J. Siegel, Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation

“The duality that is inherent to us… A division of wills, of desires, which causes us to be inhabited by an internal struggle between various entities... What makes us a single being? If we are the synergy of the trillions of cells that inhabit us, which have evolved with the history of the Earth and our species through their adaptations, and that are in constant replacement and renewal throughout an individual's life.”

“A dualidade que nos é inerente… Uma divisão de vontades, de quereres, que faz com que sejamos
habitados por uma luta interna entre diversas entidades… O que faz de nós um único ser? Se somos a sinergia entre as trilhões de células que nos habitam, que evoluíram com a história da terra e da nossa espécie através de suas adaptações, e que estão em constante substituição e renovação durante a vida de um indivíduo.”
