The self or the SELF--which occupies the majority of your attention?

In what ways? Is most of your time spent pondering the little self or the Higher Self? Is there a difference? Do you see your self reflected in the Higher Self or is it the other way around?

In harmony :-))

    For years, I conciously worked to eliminate the divisions between my spiritual beliefs and my daily activities. Through meditation, study, introspection, and diligence I hope that I have made some progress toward breaking down the barriers between the spiritual and physical components of "the self".

    I have learned that the divisions are artificial. There is only one "self" which is like a wave on a sea of conciousness. The value is not in reflecting on the self or examining the self, but in being. Acting in concert with the true nature of the spirit will bring harmony to life and, eventually, to the world. Thank you for the question!

    Unfortunately, this week it was all about self. And if it had been about Self (which it was after I totally screwed up a relationship), I would not be wanting to run away, to "hermitize," if you will.

    More and more I see my Higher Self being Present and running the show. But sometimes that part of me takes a holiday, and forgets to tell me it's taking off for a couple of days. That darn Self needs to learn to communicate! It's the key to all relationships!

    You proclaim the fact that you are an individual. But your individuality is all appearance since you are only defending a personality. What was your personality as a child, as a teenager, as a young adult, as middle-aged? You have undergone changes, but you haven't met your real self yet! Through meditation you will get down to the source of living which supports all your personalities. Then your journey will be almost over!

    Hello

    The two selves had a battle this weekend.

    and happily the Higher Self won and set me free.

    I feel blissful and I send pure bliss to you. xxx
