KNOW YOUR GREATER SELF

A greater self exists at the innermost core of our being.  Yet many of us may only know a very limited personal self and don’t know or experience this greater self very well, if at all.

Most of humanity is in this position and either denies the existence of a greater self or just gives it lip service.  Thus, for most, a greater self either doesn't exist or it exists only as a lofty idea.

This is the prevailing situation and current state of human affairs.  But it’s rapidly changing.  Today, many are searching for more from life than just what their personal self automatically provides.  And with this urge, a commitment to bringing a greater self into sharper focus can grow and a special kind of inner work may begin.

The work involves self-discovery processes that lead to a deeper knowing of oneself and eventually to life mastery. This work may be done in groups or on one’s own. Either way, it’s necessary to practice certain techniques that bring the mind to a higher state and make one’s greater self more evident.

This process may have already begun for you. If you've made such a breakthrough, you know exactly what I mean ... and there’s no turning back. But until this breakthrough occurs, the truth of who we each really are may remain a mystery. And while you may sense that there’s something more to you, you may not know exactly how to bring it about.

If you experience such a spiritual uneasiness, it may be time for your greater self to emerge. So give your greater self some attention and you may discover a much greater life lies ahead.

Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.

LIVING IN THE NOW

Spiritual wisdom advises us to 'live in the moment.'  It's important to understand this in the context of truly knowing ourselves.

It's true that we can't live in the past or future, only in the present.  But it's also true that how consciously we act in the present depends a great deal on how aware we are of our subconscious feelings and aims.  The better we know these, the more authentically we may live in the present.

For example, some might read best sellers not because such books really interest them but to appear smart and in the know.  Or, some might go rock climbing not because they enjoy physical challenge, but because they want something to boast about.

Thus, to live in the moment authentically, we need to know where our actions are coming from.  This is often the error of the sensualist and existentialist, for they may live not just in the moment, but for the moment, without looking inward to know where their actions are coming from.

To live authentically in the HERE and NOW takes deep self-awareness and the ability to express one’s intrinsic true self.  Then bliss and fulfillment results.

Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.

THE SECRET KEY TO EXCELLING AT LIFE

By raising awareness to a Master Mind level, we increase personal effectiveness in all areas of living. Because at this level, we readily access authentic intuition, true knowing, and the power to deliberately manifest our best life outcomes.

Focusing at the Master Mind level is the secret key to excelling at life.

In one’s ordinary consciousness state, the mind is passively reactive; it automatically produces a steady stream of biased reactions driven by the various ‘wills’ of different parts of personality (sub-wills).  So no central master-will is in charge. Instead, we’re often ruled capriciously by many different sub-wills.  Thus, we may often find ourselves ambivalent or acting in conflict with what we profess to want and contrary to our best interests.

In the ordinary consciousness state, different parts of the whole self (sub-wills) often want different things and undermine our ability to live our most harmonious, happy and fruitful lives.

THIS IS HOW LIFE AND THE MIND REALLY WORK.

At any moment we may live semi consciously or more fully consciously; ruled automatically by our sub-wills and their biased agendas or by the creativity and overseeing wisdom of our Master Mind. The difference lies in the degree of self-awareness and understanding we've developed.

Once we truly know this, we can choose to do the work of increasing self-awareness and training to live more at our Master Mind level.

Goodness and joy to all,  Joseph.
