  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.

As humans, we often crave control and certainty

By Anelly Aya

 

 As humans, we often crave #control and #certainty. We want to know what our future holds and what steps we need to take to achieve our #goals. However, as much as we may try to plan and prepare, we ultimately have limited control over our lives. There are countless factors that can influence our #journey, including unforeseen events and circumstances beyond our control. It is in times like these that #trust and #surrender in our relationship with God becomes essential.

One phrase that encapsulates this trust and surrender is "#Lord, Your #Will be done." This simple phrase is a powerful reminder of the importance of submitting to God's #Divine will and plan. It acknowledges that God is in control and that #Hisplan is #perfect, even if we may not always understand it or agree with it.

#Trusting in God's plan requires us to let go of our desire for control and certainty. We must recognize that God sees the bigger picture and that His plan is greater than our own. This can be a #challengingtask, especially in times of #hardship or #uncertainty. It is easy to feel lost and #alone when we don't know what the future holds.

However, when we trust in God's plan, we can find #comfort and #hope. We can #relyon the fact that God has a purpose for our lives, even if we can't see it in the moment. This trust allows us to #letgo of our #fears and #anxieties and to surrender our lives to God's care.

Surrendering to God's will requires us to let go of our own #desires and plans. We must be willing to submit ourselves to God's #guidance and #direction, even when it may not align with our own goals or #aspirations. This can be a difficult task, especially when we have invested a great deal of time and effort into our plans.

However, when we surrender to God's will, we can find #peace and #contentment. We can trust that God knows what is best for us and that His plan will lead us to where we need to be. This surrender allows us to let go of our own egos and desires and to trust in God's divine guidance.Trusting and #surrendering to God's will requires a strong foundation of #faith and #prayer. Faith allows us to believe in God's #goodness and #love, even in the face of #adversity. It provides us with the #strength and #courage to trust in God's plan, even when it may not align with our own desires.

Prayer allows us to communicate with God and to seek His guidance and direction. It allows us to express our fears and #doubts, as well as our hopes and aspirations. Through #prayer, we can ask God for #wisdom and #guidance as we navigate the #challengesoflife

Trusting and surrendering to God's will requires #spiritual discipline. It is not enough to simply say "Lord, Your Will be done." We must actively work to cultivate our faith and to deepen our relationship with God.

This requires daily spiritual practices, such as prayer, #meditation, and reading sacred texts. It also requires a #commitment to living a life that is aligned with God's #values and #principles. We must strive to live a life of #service, #compassion, and #love, just as Jesus did.

In conclusion, trust and surrender in our relationship with God are essential components of a #fulfilling and #meaningful life. It requires us to #letgo of our own desires and plans and to submit ourselves to God's Divine will and guidance. It requires us to have faith in God's #goodness and #love, even in times of adversity, and to actively seek His #guidance through prayer and spiritual discipline.

Trusting and surrendering to God's will can be a challenging task, but it is ultimately a rewarding one. It allows us to find #peace and contentment in our lives, even in the face of uncertainty and hardship. It allows us to trust that God has a purpose for our lives and that His plan will lead us to where we need to be.

As we strive to deepen our relationship with God, may we always remember to say "Lord, Your Will be done." May we trust in God's wisdom and guidance, even in the face of uncertainty, and may we surrender our lives to His care. Through this trust and surrender, may we find the peace, #hope, and contentment that only God can provide.

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.
