CONNECTING TO OUR HIGHER SELF
Our Higher Self is our connection to the Divine, GOD, One Creator, the Universe. It is our truest self. It’s the part of us that’s eternal, the unseen, non-physical part of us often referred to as our Soul. Our bodies and our minds will die but our Souls will go on.
On our path of self discovery, we are often fumbling around blindly, with limited direction, believing we are vulnerable and alone. We often feel unheard, unsafe and scared of how we will make it through this thing called life. It may seem cruel and evil when we are struggling and in pain. Have you ever gotten to that place of "why does this keep happening to me?" or "why can't I just catch a break?". Feeling as if God or the Universe is punishing you. You are not being punished, that is not how the Universe works, you are unknowingly separated from your soul, thus causing suffering. If you stay in the place of low vibrational feelings, these unfortunate and painful experience's keep happening, most often much more frequently. In this headspace we are in our lower self, making decisions from our out of control thoughts, oblivious to the fact that we cause ourselves to suffer. Think of this as the Universe and your inner being/higher self as being in cahoots to shake you out of destructive behavior. This happens for us, so we can get back up, stronger and more capable than ever. This serves as a back up plan, to ensure we eventually find our way home. The further away we get from our connection, the more disruptive our behavior gets, the worse our lives become and the worse the experiences become. This is not to scare you but to paint a clear picture of why suffering happens, and to show that you have the power to change course.
The wonderful news is that Our Higher Selves, love us unconditionally, there’s never judgement and we can never do wrong. This is the larger, eternal part of us, that is patiently waiting for us to wake up from what is called the sleep state, the state of being in ego or lower mind. This is not to say that the ego is bad or it is something we should try to get rid of, the ego has been here to serve us on our journey through life. We have actually had many life times and life experiences to where the ego has been strengthened, now we are evolving and we are being guided toward a more loving and compassionate state of consciousness. Now we have the ability and know how to let our egos be our servant and our heart/soul our master. This is where the Higher Self comes in, for the first time in our human history we have the ability to merge with this higher state of consciousness that is us, the Universe.
When we connect to our Highest Self we see and know the secrets of the Universe, this part of us knows all the answers to the questions we have. We will no longer separate ourselves from the Universe or others. Judgment falls away, dis-ease disappears and hate is something that no longer makes sense. We fall in love with the experience of life. This connection is to know what it is to love ourselves, a love that will carry us through anything that we may face in this lifetime with absolute confidence. This love has no lack, nor uncertainty of ever loosing it, it is ours forever. When we connect to our Higher Selves we can love others unconditionally because the fear of not being enough goes away and we can give what we’ve received freely, there is an abundant amount of love for all. To discover this is to realize without a doubt that we are love and this love can not be taken away... ever. We become limitless and free, knowing all along we always had everything, all that is needed is the connection with our Highest Self, our Eternal Self, our Soul.
