The main thing that allows my higher self to shine thru and be the doer in my life is how I identify myself. If I choose to identify myself as a human being that doesn’t even have a higher self or even a spiritual self; then my higher self isn’t going to interfere in my free will choice to believe that about myself. The more I identify with my higher self; the more I show my free will indication that I want to acknowledge more with that part of my being. I’ve known for years that I’m a spiritual being having a material experience. And that nothing in the physical actually defines me. No experiences inherently define me. I can always choose how I wish to respond, even if it’s lifetimes later. I can choose differently as many times as I wish until I’m willing to just let go of the experience altogether. What I’m learning is that my physical and spiritual work equally hand in hand. One is the Omega and one is the Alpha. The physical is actually an expression of the spiritual. There’s some mud on the window and there are some filters in the way. The mud and filters are ideas that limit me; beliefs I’ve taken on out of feeling hurt or oppressed or rejected; and decisions I’ve made about what I do or don’t want to experience. But as I clear the mud and filters; more and more of the authentic me can shine thru. I can identify myself with false beliefs and hurt feelings; or I can reach higher. I choose to reach beyond anything I’ve come to feel or believe (especially about myself) based on my experiences on Earth.
