Now with regard to thinking about yourself: What is thinking about yourself? Well, thinking about yourself is above all sorting out what you really want, what you really wish, what you, if you like, believe in, and then constantly reminding yourself about it. Our biggest difficulty all the time as F.M. used to say is that we “forget to remember”. We have simply got to remember. Now, life being as difficult as it is and so much of life being involved with our brains and heads and emotions, thoughts and feelings and all the rest of it, the fact that we have a body, and that the body needs to be mobile and free, comes fairly low down on the list of our concerns and anxieties.
