Relating to an external for an internal person is a tough task. Internal people are drawn to externals. There is a pull, there is love, there is some much energy being created, yet, it is not easy for an internal to stay balanced.
Decisions and visions of others for internals co-create their lives. Choosing the best allies is what is required. Your ally needs to be your best advocate in life.
What is an Internal Self? It is the being who is in the state. It is not processing, not interacting, not analyzing, not even expressing itself. It is the being who is.
