The Importance of Object Relations in Meditation

A lot of the Buddhist meditation practices have to do with step out of your thoughts. And what I'm hearing you say is that you don't want to get entangled and lost in believing your thoughts. But if you don't have some awareness of the narrative, you can't untangle those underlying kind of snags that actually keep us identified. So maybe you could speak more to that. Our sense of self gets structured from early childhood by our relationship with our important people in our lives,. They become internalized and become impressed in our consciousness as structures of consciousness.
