Yes friends, to be aware of your SELF, your illusive Self, the Self that has been apparently playing hide and seek with you, the Self that has been hiding right under your very nose, the Self with a gentle smile still waiting for you to turn your gaze towards It, so that it can open your heart, so that it can fire your passion and make you feel exuberant for no logical reason !
So then, who or what is this Self we are talking about or trying to find ? What is it after all ? And why is it important for us to know it ? Well, friends, it is important because it is the true us, it is true you, it is true me, the real me ! And when one is alive you can be sure of its unimaginable presence with us.
Well the simple truth is this Self is our true Self. We have a physical body but we are not it. Our human body can suffer and quite often suffers, but our true self cannot be touched by anything and thus never suffers. Just imagine if you do not want to indulge in any kind of suffering, all you need to do is shift in seconds to your True self, and not suffer !
So then, what is this True Self again ? Simply said it is ‘awareness’, awareness which is not very complicated and easy to understand.You already know what I mean by awareness, don’t you ? You are aware it is a sunny day today, you are aware you are hungry, you are aware you missed your flight, you are aware your knees are hurting etc.etc. The difference in the Awareness of True Self is that it is only cognizant of the experience. It does not react as you do. It is just aware that you missed the flight and it would not start screaming at the airline staff or the taxi being late, or whatever that made you miss the flight etc. You get the picture, don’t you ? So, what is the difference between the awareness of your conscious mind, that I call the little ‘i’ and the awareness of your True self that I call the big ‘I’ ? Your True Self never resists, rejects or judges any experience, instead it welcomes all experiences with love and keeps expanding. Friends, can you follow in the foot steps of your True Self ?
You may already know it but here I give some more information about our magical SELF, our only true power.It is limitless, formless, eternal, multidimensional loving intelligence beyond the comprehension of our logical mind and always there, so much so, that you cannot sense it’s presence ! And what can be said about its mind boggling powers except that anything is possible for the SELF !
In the next blog I will talk about how to become aware of this boundless Awareness, our True Self, the big ‘I’.
As always, your questions are welcome.
Thanks. Blessed to read your bogs.
