KNOWING YOUR TRUE SELF
Sometimes I’m asked, “If sub-wills are usually
subconsciously and automatically dominating me, how do I know when I’m being my
True Self?” My short answer is: it’s
like love; you know it when you experience it.
As with any great revelation, knowing your True
Self is a WOW experience that may suddenly come upon you. For
a simple analogy, let’s say you’ve been living with low energy and poor health
for so long that this low grade experience of yourself has become your accepted
normal Self. Then one day you begin a health program of proper nutrition and
exercise. And after a few months you wake up with a new vitality. Suddenly you feel like a new person,
like the true healthy and energetic person you were meant to be.
Another way to understand your True Self
is by considering childhood. If you were a normal healthy child, you may have
experienced your True Self back then.
At that time you weren’t burdened or ruled by preconceptions and
beliefs. You were free to fully be your natural self, alive with curiosity and
intelligence and in touch with your creative instincts. And even though you
weren’t your adult optimal True Self yet, you nonetheless were a nascent
True Self, authentic in every way and brimming with the creative energy
of life.
These are two preliminary ways of understanding
your True Self. It’s an authentic state of being we tend to lose
as we become young adults and can regain by doing some inner work; this work
involves increasing awareness of our sub-wills and the reactive behaviors they
cause, developing a central Master Will that is in true control, and learning
to tune in our higher intuitive knowing.
By doing this inner work we become who we really
are and were mean to be.
Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
