Step one asteral

["danielestopinal" <djeestopinal@...>]

Dear Rawn,
While doing the step one observation I have come to realize that 
there are two aspects of mind at work. One is the "I" who I consider 
to be my conscious self acting as an observer. The other is the "me" 
who I consider to be the rambling fool of my subconscious. There 
seems to a communication link between the two aspects of self. I am 
not sure who is responsible for the formation of this link, but I 
suspect the fool. What are your thoughts regarding this issue? Are 
these thoughts, related to the process, considered a distraction? I 
sort of think they are because a seperation is not occuring during 
these times.

Also, during the brief moments when seperation does occur I begin to 
think that I am having some sucess and this seems to please the 
fool. So this must be a disruption, right?

Additionally, the colors that I see with my eyes closed seem to be a 
distraction. The purple and yellow color I believe to be fluids 
bathing the eyeballs. Is this correct?

Finally, I suspect that my problem is related to an excessive 
analysis of myself during the exercise. What are your thoughts? 
Unfortunatly all of the above ideas occured during the meditation! 
Other than the above mentioned problems, I find the work quite 
pleasing. I hope all this is not tooo confusing. I am sure 
questions similiar to these have been asked before but I haven't read 
all of the past messages yet. 

Thanks a bunch,
Dan
