Alan: Who are you? Why do you terrify me and make me flee from my highest goals?

Watching Judging Eyes: We are your ambitions and your perfectionist standards. Your intuitions and your dreamwork will never be good enough. We know your potential. You are not putting enough time into this. Hone your insight and sharpen your concentration or we will expose you as a bumbling ragamuffin.

Alan: You are pushing me too much. I feel plied and led by the nose by you. Stop it! I want to learn to value myself. Your exhortations are external. I am glad to escape your booming loudspeakers and tune inward.

Watching Judging Eyes: We know what is best for you. That is why you chose us. We are just doing what you told us to; putting you to work on your own process. You are running away from yourself.

Alan: You are partly right. I am running away because I am frightened that I won't pass your test. I know I have to turn and face my vulnerability or I will always be on the run. I need to know when to venture forward from deep within. Your voice is not my choice!
