Now we’ll align the Self position. First notice what it’s like when you step into Self position. Notice what’s different from before... Are you seeing out of your own eyes?
Bob: I’m seeing exactly out of my eyes now.
Connirae: Is there any difference in how you see the other person from Self position now?
Bob: They’re much clearer, and they’re right in front of me.
Connirae: Good. Often the other person is clearer after aligning Observer position. Check your voice now, in this position. Do you have any internal dialogue?
Bob: I just hear the conversation. I hear the other person on the outside and me responding.
Connirae: Are you hearing from your own ears, already?
Bob: Yes... This is all very unfamiliar!
Connirae: And that’s fine. ... Now I want to be sure you have the choice of having internal dialogue in this position. So, notice what happens if you say on the inside, “I feel this. I think this. I want this.”
Bob: The voice is coming from my chest (speaking softly, smiling slightly). And some very powerful feelings come with it (gesturing across his whole torso, Bob’s body is more relaxed than earlier, and has more skin color).
Connirae: Good. And this looks different from before. In Self position, the voice is inside the body, from the chest/throat area, and uses “I” pronouns.
