What is our Higher Self?

Our higher self is that which encourages us to be more than we currently think we are. Our higher self is that which knows we are accepted and loved unconditionally. It is pure awareness. It is a frequency of energy that is not in material form. It is a unique blend. It is the Alpha aspect of our being, the expanding aspect. Our higher self expands its being through what we learn from our material experiences. We are expressions of our higher self. We in the material form are the Omega aspect of our being. As we raise our consciousness, we come more and more in tune with our Alpha aspect. We raise our consciousness by letting go of perceived limitations. Some people call the Alpha and Omega aspects of self the Lover and the Beloved.

In the material we take on illusions until we have a point-like sense of self. In other words, until we think we are the only thing of importance in our universe. Apparently horse jockeys have goggles that are similar to wearing 5 pair of glasses at once. As they fill with mud, the jockey can flip one set of goggles out of the way and see thru the rest. Us deciding to not buy into an illusion anymore is like flipping a set of goggles out of the way. And then we only see thru the illusions that we are still wearing. As we identify more and more with our higher self, we lose the sense of separation. We let go of that source of pain and loneliness that we took on when we entered duality. Beings not in duality also have Alpha and Omega selves, but they always feel connected. They never feel that sense of separation. The path of ascension is the gentle and gradual step by step removal of our illusions until we can say with Jesus: “I and my father are one.” To me this means we can honestly identify with our higher self. We’ve expanded our sense of self from a point to knowing we are part of a whole. We remove are perceptions of limitations (the illusions we took on) until we know we are part of ALL creation and our part has no more importance than any other part. When we blend with our higher self again, perhaps any sense of portion even goes away, even though we retain our uniqueness within the ALL.

Our higher self maintains its connection and identification with all creation during our journeys in material experiences. It is not harmed by any of our experiences. That is why it doesn’t matter what we experience. It only matters how we respond to what we experience, what limitations we take on and what limitations we take off. And this is always only our choice. In reality no one else can make this choice for us, even though we are often told differently. And making these choices is our real power, especially during experiences where we feel most helpless.

When people say they center or connect in their hearts, they are focusing on their higher self. Or their higher self is able to focus more through them. Or both. If I imagine my hand with it’s palm up as everything above my palm beats or resonates at frequencies that do not have material form. And everything below my palm beats or resonates at frequencies that are in material form. Then I poke one finger of the other hand thru the space between two fingers of this hand. Then I can imagine that the fist above my palm is my higher self and the finger extending below my palm is me.

Our higher self is multi-dimensional, meaning it exists simultaneously in many sets of frequencies at once. Its hierarchy extends all the way to the Creator of ALL Creation of which it is a unique expression.

We have four lower bodies, our physical, emotional, mental and identity bodies. Some people call their higher self the etheric body. Some people call it their I AM Presence. Our higher self is not our physical body. It is not our emotions or our brain or ability to think or our beliefs. It is not even our sense of identity or how we identify ourselves. It is certainly not our ego, which can be all the illusions and fears we take on. As we remove the illusions, we begin to see that our ego is just that part of our being that we created to interact with the material world. We also have an outer self that interacts with the world. We also have numerous internal selves that we created out of reacting to various experiences. We also have a Conscious Self that is the doorway to our Higher Self. Our Conscious Self is that which observes. Our Higher Self is by far more than all of these. Our higher self is not linear. Some say it is more spherical in nature.

What I’ve experienced when I truly feel my Higher Self is that all worry and concern disappears. An example that easy to describe is when I’m singing. If I’m singing and my higher self focuses more through me; all concern about the right notes, the next word, saying the words just right, holding my mouth just right, breathing properly, technique goes away. All thoughts of any of that go away. To some extent all thought goes away. I only have the sensation of pure enjoyment of singing, of singing for the shear pleasure of singing.
