you are (fill in the blank) and i am the Self

i read this line from yogic scriptures. here's how it works, e.g. you are the craving for haagen daz and i am the Self. hey, i get it. i can choose to have it, i don't have to be consumed by the impulse. or this. you are a thought and i am the Self. then it becomes a no-brainer, of course, a thought is a thought, not me. then i can examine it at my own pace and decide if i want to act on it. the thought doesn't control me by default.

i'm so excited, i can go on and on. you are the impulse to shop and i am the Self. i don't have to go with it. you are anger and i am the Self. you are disappointment and i am the Self.

now, that's freedom.
