  The concept of the “Self” lies at the core of many spiritual and philosophical traditions. It is often described as the most fundamental aspect of our being, the true essence of who we are. However, the Self is not something we can easily grasp through our usual means of understanding, like thought, perception, or intellect. It transcends our physical, mental, and emotional experiences, yet it is ever-present and underlies all of them. In this chapter, we will explore what the Self is, how it differs from the ego or personality, and why understanding the Self is key to realizing true reality. The Self as Pure Consciousness At its essence, the Self is pure consciousness. It is the awareness that observes all experiences, but it is not limited by or attached to those experiences. It is the unchanging witness of all that arises in life—the thoughts, emotions, sensations, and perceptions we experience daily. To grasp this concept, think about a movie screen.

Art has a unique and powerful ability

By Anelly Aya

 

 Art has a unique and powerful ability to capture and express human emotions, including pain, in a way that can be both cathartic and liberating. Through art, we are able to externalize and give shape to our innermost feelings, allowing us to examine and process them more objectively. By doing so, we may find solace and relief from our pain.

At the same time, art also has the power to transport us beyond our own experiences, to connect us with the broader human experience, and to offer us a new perspective on our struggles. Through art, we may be reminded of our shared humanity and the universality of human emotions, which can help to alleviate feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Whether it is through music, painting, literature, or any other artistic medium, art has the potential to both capture our pain and offer us a path towards healing and freedom. It can help us to confront difficult emotions, to find meaning in our experiences, and to ultimately move forward with a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Art has a transformative power when it comes to sharing, both for the artist and the audience. For the artist, the act of sharing their art can be a vulnerable and courageous act that involves putting themselves out into the world and opening themselves up to criticism and judgment. However, it can also be an empowering experience that allows them to connect with others, to express themselves authentically, and to find meaning and purpose in their work.

For the audience, experiencing and engaging with art can be a transformative experience that can change the way they see the world and themselves. Art has the ability to challenge our assumptions, broaden our perspectives, and spark new ideas and emotions. It can help us to connect with others, to find common ground, and to empathize with those whose experiences may be very different from our own.

Through the act of sharing art, artists and audiences alike can create a space for dialogue and understanding, where ideas and emotions can be exchanged and explored. This can be especially powerful in the context of social and political issues, where art can serve as a catalyst for change and a means of amplifying underrepresented voices.

Overall, the transformative power of art lies in its ability to connect us with our own emotions and experiences, and with those of others. Through the act of sharing, we can create a sense of community and understanding that has the potential to transform both individuals and societies.

Karma: A Path to Redemption, Healing, and Spiritual Growth

By Anelly Aya
    Karma is a term often shrouded in misconceptions. Frequently perceived as a form of cosmic retribution or a means to exact punishment, karma is often portrayed as a lurking force that deals out slaps for wrongdoings. However, this perspective oversimplifies and distorts the true essence of karma, reducing it to a mere tool of vengeance. In reality, karma is much more profound and compassionate - a mechanism for redemption, healing, and spiritual growth. Rather than being a punitive force, karma offers a sacred opportunity to make amends, clear past missteps, and ultimately return to a state of unity with the Divine. Understanding Karma Beyond Punishment At its core, karma is not about punishment. It does not operate with a vindictive spirit, nor does it seek to inflict harm for the sake of justice. Instead, karma functions as a spiritual mirror, reflecting back to us the energies we have put into the world. These reflections are not meant to condemn but to en...

The Self is the only reality

By Anelly Aya
  "The Self is the only reality that always exists, and in its light, all things are seen. We forget this and direct our attention to the external world. The hall is illuminated whether there are people in it or not, whether they are performing a play or nothing is happening. It is the light that allows us to see the hall, the people, and their performance. We are so absorbed by the objects or phenomena revealed by the light that we fail to pay attention to the light itself. Like the torches in the hall that always burn, the light of Consciousness or the Self is always present—whether in the waking state or the dream state, where things appear, or in deep sleep, where nothing is seen. What we must do is focus on the seer, not the seen, not on the objects, but on the light that reveals them." — Ramana Maharshi.
