How Can I Handle Imaginary Character Narratives?

When I was a child, I created imaginary characters in my mind and projected feelings onto them. I know they’re imaginary, but sometimes they have such a pull and attract my attention so much. When they come, they last for weeks. I can only ignore them during meditation. Rupert says: ‘If it’s really true that your thoughts – this narrative in your mind – are so strong that they prevent you from going directly back to your being, then you have to take the Progressive Path and interpose some intermediary step that takes your attention off your narrative. Use some kind of sacred object, a mantra, an image or a prayer. These objects contain within them a certain energy whose purpose is to take you back to God’s being.’
