Good Evening Pierre...
Brilliant question! The answer is nowhere. It seems that a "pierre" started with a thought, that was believed and turned into a memory.
Excellent answer!! Now let's stick with this and don't waver from it...from this point where you're staring right at The Gate.
Where is Pierre? Always in the body. A vague, sensory experience between the heart and the head. Sounds stupid but when I look for a location thats all that comes up. Like a combination of feeling, sensations and thought that rises up out of that area. Sometimes it feels like "I' comes out of the throat area, sometimes the head, sometimes the heart, and sometimes all of the above.
Let's clarify, the thought vs. body connection...
The mind, in addition to being an incredible processing and storage device, is also a labeling machine that labels experience as soon as perception happens.
Here's how it occurs...
Thought triggers feeling, feeling gets labeled---New trigger---Feeling gets more intense ---More labels--->Vicious feedback loop...
This is what go's on endlessly when " I " is at the centre...
Now I want you to think of a uncomfortable thought...(The more negative the better.) Pick a couple, (You know those reoccurring ones that really bug you.)
Do you feel how the body reacts when these thoughts are revisited??
It's that physical connection that we are going to focus on and practice;
Remember the body doesn't lie...When the body feels threatened it will react to protect itself...Same as if someone was to threaten to "hit" you and the reflex that follows to protect the body.... You'll notice the same reaction or "connection" with other negative thoughts / feelings like...
Anger, frustration, sadness, depression, impatients, anxiety etc...
So there's this body...Called Pierre....In It's mind, it refers to thoughts, ego, and memories (forget beliefs they are of no use and merely distract the "host".) ALL OF WHICH DO NOT EXIST IN REAL LIFE...
Are you with me here?....Is this true???
Don't agree with me here...Try and prove me wrong on this...
