Awaken to Your True Self – Reconnect from Within – Part I
April 15th, 2008 . by adminWhat exactly does it mean to reconnect from within? Creating the life we desire and deserve is an ‘Inside Job’. All that we require to live a life filled with joy, love, peace and prosperity is to look inside and to connect with the pure essence of who we are – our True Self or as many like to refer as – our Higher Self. There is nothing outside of us that can provide us with joy unconditionally and limitlessly. When we rely on the world outside of us for our happiness we experience ups and downs, moments of total joy and elation, then we move into the fear that it will not last and eventually the feeling of – what goes up must come down and there goes our joy.
We have allowed ourselves to become distracted by our Ego Mind and forgotten that all the answers and guidance we require comes from our Higher Self mind – our True Self.
Our Higher Self is the most perfect form of who we are. Our Higher Self is there to support us always in all ways. It is an Infinite Source of help and guidance within us. In reviewing the lessons in A Course In Miracles Daily Lesson #189 reads – I feel the love of God within me now. This lesson goes on to say: “The way to reach the God within us [our Higher Self] is merely to let our Higher Self/God Self be.” In doing so we will hear and feel the beauty of our connection to our Higher Self. Our Higher Self always desires to connect with us. Our Higher Self never goes away it is who we truly are.
Our Higher Self helps us recognize what is meaningless and what is really important to our awakening and to our enlightenment. Our Higher Self:
• Knows we are NOT here to impress others with our specialness but rather to awaken to our True Self and recognize we are all one – no one is special
• Uses every experience we have to teach us how to look beyond appearances to the innate innocence and pure Love Essence in everyone – including ourselves
• Gives us deep insight – a broader and unfiltered perspective of who we truly are – which is pure love and innocence. Our True Self never changes its mind about who we are.
• Sees through the eyes of unity and oneness. It does not see lack, guilt, fear, scarcity or separation of any kind.
• Knows [without doubt] we are changeless love
Often times when we think of our True Self we think of it as something outside or separate. We tend to feel separated from who we really are. The truth is we are our True Self we have never been separated we have merely forgotten and we have created barriers that prevent us from connecting to this loving, joyful, peaceful aspect of ourselves.
How do we know when we are listening to our Ego Mind instead of our Higher Self? If you are not experiencing peace in your life, or if you find yourself blaming someone or something in the world for your discomfort, you are making the ego thought system real in your mind. If your life experience is full of peace and joy, you are opening to the thoughts of your true, united Self.
Your true Self is patient because it knows you already are at home in Oneness and so is everyone else. Messages from your true Self you Inner Guide are quiet and peaceful. They carry an energizing and loving feeling. They do not carry an intense charge of emotion such as tension, anxiety or urgency. There is no impatience, anger or blame.
Ego messages may make you feel like you must act immediately or you will lose out or miss an opportunity to defend yourself or someone else. They carry a sense of losing or danger from an outside source.
Quiet your mind and join with your True Self in living the life you desire and deserve!
