S is for Self

self/

noun

1. a person's essential being that distinguishes them from others, especially considered as the object of introspection or reflexive action.

Self is the “I” in I am.  Self is the deeply personal individual who is alone within each of us and within all.  There are no other beings within us where the self exists. That means there is no one else other than ourselves to ask, to decide or to blame.  Self is the initiating point of action. Thoughts are the building bricks of realities, but it is self which collects them and builds upon them creating new experiences and realities.

I’m excited to talk about the self, who and what it is and what it means to know "it" "self" that is the deepest level of your own “be”ing.  

In order to know the “self” we must turn our attention within.  This can be as simple as closing our eyes, or going to a place where we can be alone. As we turn within our awareness of our inner self increases.  Within this deeper aspect of our self is knowledge that we can draw from. This knowledge supports our ability to make decisions and later to take actions on our decisions. The benefit of this inner knowledge is that it is harmonious.  Being in harmony maintains stability in our personal health and the health of those whose experience we influence (as much as they allow us to).

So who is this “self” that is us?  It is the divine presence of God who expresses as our unique form.  It is the “one” that has become the many, it is the underlying force of our breath. It is the force that moves us to have experiences and to create realities that have never existed before. It is the bond that holds us fixed to someone we love until the purpose of the bond has been fulfilled. It is the intelligent and intricate weaver of the process of separation when purpose has been fulfilled so that new purposes can occur.

The self lives in us and in everyone we meet.  Each of us are the eyes of the self beholding, experiencing and participating in the creation around us.  The self is God manifested in creation.  The self is beyond time, beyond boundaries and is boundless. The self is expanding through new experiences and creations that flow through the magnificent living work of art that we are all a part of.

Be well and be happy today!
