What is the Higher Self?

What is the Higher Self?

Firstly, I must preface this by saying the “Higher Self” is “you.” It is a concept that may not be understood by most, but must be accepted if you want to move forward on the “Higher Self” journey. This is the main difference between other entities such as “Guides” and “Angels.” What you must understand is that what is unique to this relationship of the “Higher Self” is knowing that it is “you.”  Not an external entity. A “Higher Self” or selves, depending on how deep your self-mastery is, is a relationship that unravels and unravels all from within.

A relationship that is profound and ever-evolving in your life, The “Higher Self” was more knowable and understood in our younger years and state. When we were children, we lived in a state of truth and as an unfettered being. As the years roll by, we start to disconnect from that inner truth. We begin to walk away and make compromises of our “truest self” the “Higher Self.”

To tap back in, or to reconnect takes a person to restore faith and resolve to push those truths back into the forefront of life. Living in your truth is key. How does one do that? You might be asking. It starts with “You.” 

Little steps can encourage this relationship to bloom. Steps such as listening to the “gut.” Firstly, you must get comfortable with intuition and gut feelings that reach you daily. We are nudged many times, daily. Learning how to follow these hints, is the beginning stage of this realization.

Now let us imagine, you sit at a job you cannot stand. Every day you hear internally that you should “look for another job.”  Now this is where fear or lack mentality will step in. You told you, “Check out other jobs”. The ego immediately hops in and is not pleased. Because the Ego’s main function is to keep the psyche safe. These thoughts are not safe or that is not acceptable to the Ego.

So the statements or thoughts that may crop up sound something like – “What if you lose money doing this, looking for a job and interviewing – Don’t forget you have bills to pay – Or what if there are worse people at this new job, you’re comfortable now, do you want to mess that up? – What will your spouse think or say? The list goes on and on. But recognize the way these thoughts make you feel. Keyword FEEL. How do you FEEL? If you feel scared, then I would say you are not consulting the “Higher Self,” but a more negative thought form designed for stagnancy and minimization of the “self” better known as the “ego.”

Now if you can imagine there is that side or truthful strength within that highlight may be highlighting job emails, or you start to hear about new opportunities somewhere else. These nudges are brought to your attention so that you can follow the breadcrumbs that the “Higher Self” is motioning to “you.” Notice how those “Higher Self” cues are not based on fear. A “Higher Self” will not use fear, or lack to control and manipulate a thought process. The “Higher Self” will provide solution-based thinking and or pose questions of self-reflection to guide you to the answers “you” seek.

Also, if you tend to see repetitious situations occurring over and over that may be a state of being the “Higher Self” orchestrates to show yourself what is not working. Sometimes we see and interpret the signs and situations well. Learning to see these patterns and recognize the rightful place of the “Higher Self. “

The “Higher Self’s” purpose is to engage you in a way that propels you toward your soul’s highest evolutionary potential in this lifetime.

Imagine it like this. It is like being at a Supermarket and you need to purchase groceries saying that you see multiple lineups at the grocery store. Sure, the result will be the same. You buy your groceries. However, some things can be considered like the size of the line, the customers, and the cart volumes or the speed at which the worker is paced. These things cross our minds when deciding which line to get into. Think of your “Higher Self” as having that kind of overviewing perception but instead, for your life path. Sure, you can live your life and finish it just the same. But the “Higher Self” will guide you as to how and which path to fall into for the overall best spiritual outcome. “You” want “You” to succeed, so know that you can trust your “Higher Self” for this too.
