Integration is about the transformation from self-as-person to awareness-as-self. To study the way of enlightenment is to study the self. When we study our experience of “I”, we realise we are composed of many different “I”’s or “self-states” or “parts”. We identify with these different states. The path of integration begins with firstly distinguishing body sensations from our thoughts and emotions and secondly identifying ourselves with the observer or witness rather than the sensations and thoughts that are changing all the time.
