TRUE SELF
TRUE SELF This post in a way, summarizes briefly all the posts in this blog since by living from the True Self, the Spirit Self, one will experience stillness, mindfulness, oneness, beauty, Grace moments/God moments, freedom, peace, happiness and joy profound; one will live with gratitude and civility; one will live the contemplative life without a monastery or a cave.
First, for example, the ego which helps us to eat when hungry and to clothe when cold, is a functional ego needed for human development. However, when the ego is dysfunctional or inflated, it seeks to control, to blame, to judge negatively people and events, refuses to forgive and leads to harm and to unhappiness. And that is living from the imbalanced ego self, often called the inadequate false self or the shadow side of the ego.
Now, what is the True Self ? It is the essence of who we are...beloved of God/the Ultimate Reality. Perhaps our upbringing, education, churches have spoken very little about it. Yet, even if the term itself is not found in the Sacred Books written long ago, nevertheless, all do mention SOUL, SPIRIT as the breath of life and/or the Kingdom/Spirit of God within... And that is the True Self, the Divine Reality within us, among us and everywhere. If we start living from that Source of Life with us now, with us from all eternity and with us forever, our life will take on a new focus. We will see the Divine Reality, this original blessing, in all of nature, in all the universe; we will see the True Self in all people and it will give us a wise contemplative heart. We will live for peace and unity in spite of our differences; we will become truly kind and compassionate; we will die daily to our false self and live daily from our True Self, losing our fears, especially of death since it means eternal life. We are truly SPIRIT, SPIRIT of LOVE having a human experience.
As the wisdom of the ages declares, the universe is unfolding as it should and everything turns to good for those who know how to love with the Spirit, with the TRUE SELF.
How do we stay connected with the True/Spirit Self? The easiest way is by staying present (mindful, attentive) to the moment; for others, it is by becoming aware of the breath along with a mantra or sacred word. Use whatever works for you when plagued by past events or future ones.
Hopefully this blog invites you to center daily through spiritual reading or simply attention in nature and everywhere. It is a guarantee of Peace and Joy profound.
