Having no self This mentality... while I'm still nowhere near it, I'm trying everyday to achieve a glimpse of it. Just so you know that this idea that I'm about elaborate on is just my own and is not based on any study or whatsoever. Almost all of our suffering as stutters is derived from the fact that we have a self. In other words, we blame ourselves for the things that we could've done better, or situations were we could've freely expressed ourselves without having to deal with a damn invisible block disrupting our speech. All that causes anxiety, fear, low self esteem, and low confidence. I believe that inside our minds lies a level of awareness that goes beyond all that suffering. When we think about it, it isn't only our stutter that we didn't choose. We didn't choose our name, our family, our country, we didn't even choose to exist. All those were just imposed labels that eventually shaped our identity. I don't belong to anything... when I'm happy, I'm not the one who felt happiness. When I'm sad, I'm not the one who felt sadness. When I suffer, I'm not the one who is suffering...when I stutter, I'm not the one who is stuttering. Breaking the walls of what I always thought about myself and setting myself free from all the chains that shaped my self-identity is the only way to get rid of all weaknesses and be reborn. I believe that for someone to be free from stuttering, he should free himself from all other chains and dive to his true essence of his existence... While it may seem silly, this is the mentality I'm talking about. I just wanted to throw this idea out. Do you think that this mentality is achievable? If so, do you believe it can eventually set you free from the prison of stuttering?
