Reply:You can%26#039;t escape yourself, you never will. You can just be in harmony with yourself, feel, understand yourself by means of meditations, taking some time alone dig deep into your self conscious, feel what is there, see with your mind%26#039;s eye what and who you are, accept who you are....when you are in harmony with yourself, you will be free...
Reply:I believe a clarification of the term %26#039;yourself%26#039; (in the way you use it) is called for.





Do you mean your conscious thought or unconscious thought? Or do you mean fully lacking any self-awareness?
Reply:to realize that there is no self.
Reply:I escape from my negative thoughts by cuddling Lily my puppy! And distracting myself with activity%26#039;s like reading or making things... I learnt along time ago that you can%26#039;t escape yourself. I remember running away from a hospital ward when I was 18.... thought if i ran away from there i would escape the crap in my head... but obviously you can%26#039;t. The crap in your head it portable and you take it with you... so to truly be free and escape you have to stop, stand and face the demons so they aren%26#039;t there in the same magnitude any more.
Reply:I cannot escape myself but I can accept myself of my strengths and weaknesses. I cannot be anyone other than myself but I can be proud of who I have become with the choices I have made and hopefully the choices I have made molds me to be a better person and make my life meaningful for me.





If the %26quot;escape%26quot; means %26quot;to break away from%26quot;... then the first paragraph above is the answer to that question of yours. Since it also depends on how we understood by that question.
