First of all, I humbly apologise to my
readers who are unable to understand the English language as I am going to
start this post off with a video that is in English. If you can understand the
English language, please watch the video before reading on. If you can't
understand the English language, I will explain, in my own words, what the
video is about so you can translate the English language into you own
language.
The video is about experiencing no self, a
state of consciousness that is not about the self separate from all other
selves but about a state of the eternal self or divine self. The strange thing
is, the eternal self isn't about the self at all as there is no self or even
self awareness. The eternal self refers to the
eternal being where all is as one and acts as one, even while experiencing
a reality where everything has its own identity, its own self.
Yes, you can experience individuality while
in a state of eternal being, make no mistake, we are all doing this right now,
it's just most of us are unaware of this. We are unaware because our present
consciousness is conditioned primarily to the self, individuality. How many
people refer to the inner self or self awareness? Materialism or anything else
that the ego in control feeds on is often of the self, of an individual
identity, how else would the ego in control survive? I wrote a few years ago on
a spiritual forum in how we don't even own our own personal thoughts, as usual
this wasn't well received or accepted.
So why am I making reference to the eternal
self? How else is the ego going to be able to comprehend anything if we don't
refer to the self? The ego in control needs to relate to something to
comprehend it and then understand it.
Any ego that is conditioned to the self or
individuality in any sense, is a good indication that the ego is conditioned to
individuality, a state of separate entities. I am self aware or I am of the
inner self is still making reference to an individual entity, only because the
ego in control can only comprehend this eternal state of being as self. The ego
in control needs to start somewhere so it will naturally relate eternal being
to the eternal self. It's important to allow the ego to go through this
process. At no time have any kind of disdain for the ego in control, avoiding
this will allow the process of enlightenment to happen naturally. Simply go
with the flow and remember, the ego desires control and will try to control
this process, try to avoid this by simply becoming aware of the egos
controlling ways. Sadly, I have lost count in how many Western spiritually
aware people make reference to taking control and empowerment.
I have at no time in my life have become spiritually
aware, I have simply let go of the attachments of control. Yes, I have allowed
myself to be controlled for to take control of being controlled is still
control. What I have done is simply detached myself from control, even while
being controlled myself. It's important to remember, it's our self that is being controlled, not our eternal being. The
only way control can be implemented or exist is through the self as an
individual entity. Yes, myself has
become spiritually aware but not my eternal being for there is nothing to
become aware of, only the self can experience a sense of becoming aware or
enlightenment.
I, at one time, had a Reiki teacher say to
me after my treatment with them, "You have experienced the lotus flower in
this life." The lotus flower refers to detachments brought into being by
the ego. I had to say no, not in what you would refer to in this life but what
you would refer to in another life. The soul perspective is, it's all one life
with different life experiences to be experienced. The ego refers to different
life experiences to be experienced as lives lived separate to all other lives lived,
however, the soul sees it as one life which is more eternal and limitless where
the ego sees it as ephemeral and limited. In so-called past lives, I have had
numerous experiences pertaining to the lotus flower. My soul simply sees life
experiences as one life with no separation.
I know this is hard to truly comprehend but
life as whole is not about the human self, it's about the eternal being which
is often referred to as our truer being, or as the ego sees it, our truer self
or inner self. Yes, it makes a difference once you start referring to the
eternal self as the eternal being but remember, the ego has to start somewhere.
Be patient with the ego and try to go
through the process of awareness without trying to take control of this
process.
Yes, these are trying times to the self,
they always have been throughout human history, but not to the eternal being.
Your soul may want to stay unaware of the eternal being, I didn't even want to
become aware of the things I am aware of as the self but my soul said
otherwise, this is the way it is. If the soul says it wants to experience being
controlling, that is the way it will be, accept this and move on for all is of
the eternal being.
One more thing, the eternal being isn't
separate to the self; it's not a separate entity or state. The eternal being is
everything in what it is and in how it is, this includes the perception of self
and the self's ego and all the ego creates. Once you experience the eternal
being, only then do you realise there is no ultimate state separate to all
other states. All that is without exception is of the ultimate state, in
actuality, consciousnesses, like experiencing human consciousness, can often be
seen as an ultimate state for the eternal being. To be humble is to deny the ego control, especially while being
controlled by the ego!! Not an easy phrase for the ego in control to understand,
as I should know myself as I am what you are without question.
The following might be a good read for some
people, not that I have read it myself.
Extract: Your Eternal Self ends by describing what our purpose seems
to be in life, what true spirituality is, how people can grow spiritually to
change themselves so they have love and bliss in their lives, how they can
provide that loving legacy for their children's children, and what the research
has shown about the world of the afterlife.
