Exploring the Higher Self


The higher self is you. It wants to become whole and integrated. Therefore, it is bound to help you in every possible way that you are willing to accept. The higher self's foremost concern is for your highest good. That highest good is observed through the eyes and vantage point of a much more expanded and intimate awareness and an understanding of not only yourself but the current reality you have created for yourself within that partitioned room. The higher self naturally wants to help you evolve to be able to access the many partitioned rooms that comprise our total self. Eventually, the higher self will teach you to remove the partitions completely.

Higher self is highly motivated to communicate with us at the first available moment of clarity or mental inactivity. This may not require us to adhere to a step-by-step protocol to reaching higher self. Higher self wants to be able to communicate with us at every given instant but generally finds itself in a challenge with our 3D selves because of our insistence on creating a barrier of resistance to the higher self. This barrier of resistance is, quite frankly, our preoccupation with a myriad of distractions.

Higher self may use any number of methods or tools to communicate. Unfortunately, not every communiqué or subtle message received is from the higher self. This makes it even more of an appreciable task to try to identify, clarify, and refine these communications. (The origin of these other communiqués is a subject for a later discussion).

Higher self communicates in a subtle fashion in most cases and resorts to drastic forms of communication or even silence when there is no other choice. Many times we have used the gifts of our human potential without recognizing them and in so doing have taken them for granted. The voice of the higher self is one of those gifts we have taken for granted. It is our soft and subtle voice that comes to alert us to potential dangers or calmly helps us find our keys after we have madly searched the house. Higher self is also the voice of our higher reason and our creative inspiration. When we hear our own subtle voice of inspiration, it becomes our choice to listen and follow through with the message or deny it. Denying it usually produces the consequence of us regretting the outcome, knowing we could have altered it by taking the suggested prudent action.

If you receive a message that would have you harm yourself or another person, you did not receive a communiqué from higher self! Higher self may have you do things that make you feel uncomfortable, such as asking you to take steps to overcome your fears in creative ways. Or, it may have you do things that you resist.

But higher self will never have you harm yourself or another being. Higher self has the task of evolving our trust and belief systems as well as working with our fears in order to get us to the edge of the known and step off into the unknown. Higher self will also teach us to release our need to control each other, our surroundings, or life in general and loosen our attachment on how we think life should be. This may include painful lessons, depending upon how strong or tenacious is our need to control. (Lessons don't have to be painful. The painful ones usually occur when we ignore the higher self or resist change.)
