Patting myself on the back, I may elaborate.The complexity of the material sends him for a loop.He studies it, worries about keeping up what he sometimes thinks of his fine performance, and could end up by ruining mine.

拍拍我自己的背，我或许会详细说明一下。资料的复杂性让他大为震惊。他研究 它，担心着要维持他有时认为的优良表现，却最终破坏了我的资料。

The inner self is always there.You are always aware of it in the same manner that you are aware of what is happening in a trance.This is another excellent analogy, if you'll forgive me for patting myself on the back.

内在自己总是在那里。如同你在恍惚状态中觉察到正在发生的事情一般，你以同 样的方式觉察内在自己的存在。这又是一个很棒的比喻，如果你原谅这自我吹捧 的话。
