  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. The screen remains ...

Betrayal is a deeply hurtful experience that can have lasting consequences. However, not all betrayal is the same. When someone consciously and purposefully betrays another person, it is a different category of betrayal compared to that which is carried out out of ignorance. The level of awareness and intention involved in the act of betrayal significantly impacts its impact and consequences.

When a person knowingly and intentionally betrays another person, they are acting with a level of awareness and intention that is vastly different from someone who betrays out of ignorance or circumstance. This type of betrayal is often characterized by arrogance and a desire to humiliate the other person. The betrayer may feel a sense of power or control over the situation, and their actions may be driven by a desire for revenge or personal gain.

In contrast, a person who betrays out of ignorance or circumstance may not fully understand the impact of their actions on the other person. They may act impulsively or without considering the consequences of their actions. While this type of betrayal can still be hurtful, it is often less deliberate and intentional than betrayal carried out with full awareness.

The impact of betrayal that is carried out with conscious intention and arrogance can be particularly devastating. The sense of betrayal can be compounded by feelings of humiliation and powerlessness, leaving the betrayed person feeling deeply wounded and vulnerable. In some cases, the impact of this type of betrayal can be long-lasting and affect the person's ability to trust others in the future.

Therefore, understanding the different categories of betrayal is important in determining how to address and heal from the experience. When betrayal is carried out with full awareness and intention, it may require a different approach to healing and forgiveness than betrayal that is carried out out of ignorance or circumstance.

In conclusion, betrayal that is carried out with conscious intention and arrogance is a different category of betrayal compared to that which is carried out out of ignorance. The level of awareness and intention involved in the act of betrayal significantly impacts its impact and consequences. Understanding the different categories of betrayal is crucial in determining how to address and heal from the experience.

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.
