Being your SELF, Part I

The state of SELF-realization, as we call it,
is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away,
but simply being that which you always are and always have been.
Sri Ramana Maharshi

This is Part I of a four part Blog.

Have you ever just wanted to be your Self? I’m sure you have. But who is this Self that you want to be?

I hope this series of blog posts will help to bring some clarity to you about what this elusive being named the SELF (Higher Self) really is. And in doing so help you to “be” and “find” your SELF.

This is an amazing time in history. On the one hand, there are wars and rumors of even more wars. There are famines and starvation. There are leaders whose consciousness is extremely self-centered and delusional. There is a world-wide economic system based on greed and hoarding that is collapsing.

Yet on the other hand, a whole new paradigm of consciousness is emerging in people who are opening to the Wisdom and Love within themselves and are seeking for answers from within and no longer just looking with out!

    In the past there have been two primary, dominant states of consciousness:
  • The waking/thinking/doing state (I am/exist because I think and do.)
  • The sleeping/dreaming state

Both of these were based on a sense of separation, of otherness and of duality.

    But now we are entering a third state of consciousness:
  • Beingness: Presence, Oneness, Openness, Receptivity, Surrender, Communion (I AM).
