Matt's Journal

There is one bit in that diagram that really just grabbed my attention, about the part of oneself that one locks away for fear of appearing foolish. I have read this many times but I was always kind of slippery around locating this part of myself.

I have the crosshairs right on it now though, I can see how this part of myself is somewhat like a guardian to naivete. This fear of appearing foolish is what makes me swallow up and then even defend reality, what makes ‘me’ so cunning.

And the way out seems very simple actually, this guardian can be removed by utter sincerity, and then the way is made clear for naïveté.
