It is a mistake to think that your “I”, self, atman are just one thing. You have will. Will says “stay in bed”. Then you have ego. Ego says “get up or you will get fired”. They argue back and forth until finally ego amps up the anxiety level to the point where you get your ass out of bed.
There is another quieter aspect to our personal trinity. The watcher. Unlike ego and will the watcher is entirely without emotion. It is just there. It often serves as a guiding voice but in a quiet manner. It does not compel. It just says “this is what is right now”.
The watcher never argues like will and ego. It just watches.
If you have ever been in a car accident or other traumatic event you know the watcher. It was there with you. It was the one aspect of your being which did not panic or react. It just says “this is what is”.
