By Ronald Holt To help simplify matters, let's define the higher self. This can be a daunting and voluminous task due to its sublime nature. It is my intent to keep this as brief and clear as possible. Higher self is an integral and intimate aspect of ourselves that remains aware of (and actively interacts with) the whole of our being and our existence on the many planes or possibilities of life. One definition of the higher self can be: The part of ourselves that remains aware of our fragmented aspects and our wholeness simultaneously. Connecting with and recognizing the higher self is a rather large subject and requires touching upon many areas within the subject in order to explore it with clarity. Whatever is written on this subject will never be enough to satisfy the human mind. The only time we feel true satisfaction is when we fully experience love and spirit for ourselves. Connecting with the higher self takes practice, refinement, dedication, and discipline. You will receive from this practice what you put into it. It is important to understand that there are no beings, planes, or dimensions outside of ourselves. All dimensions, beings, and planes of consciousness exists equally right here and now, within and around us. This requires that we as individuals open our senses sufficiently so we can participate with other beings, the higher self and/or with the other planes of reality. Sometimes experiencing another plane, dimension, or being can appear as though they are separate from us or that we have exited completely from this 3D plane and arrived at a totally different place. A single drop of water is a good example of ourselves in our separated singularity or individuality. Many drops can co-exist in addition to the single drop. It is possible to create an infinite multitude of seemingly separate drops. This is similar to our 3D reality of separation. There are a multitude of individuals existing in their own individual forms. These individuals are seemingly separated from our own self. However, when you take the drop and add it to a pond, the drop will meld and integrate into the pond. In the pond, the drops are so integrated with each other (like we are in the unified field) that the drops comprise the entirety of the pond or the pond's unified field. Together we comprise the whole reality or medium. There are no parts of the pond (or unified field) that are not an aspect of us. Therefore, there are no planes, dimensions, or beings with which we are not intimately integrated. In trying to understand
a perspective of the higher self in comparison to our ego self, higher
self would be like being at a conference in a large hotel auditorium
that was partitioned into several smaller rooms. Our greater whole
being would occupy the entire floor as well as all the partitioned
rooms. Our 3D ego consciousness would only be aware of the one room
in which we were focused. Higher self, in comparison, would be fully
aware and participating within all the rooms on the floor simultaneously.
The higher self would have a much greater vision of the whole of our
being and the many rooms or planes upon which we exist.
