  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.

𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞

By Anelly Aya

 

 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞, also known as "highly sensitive persons" (𝐇𝐒𝐏𝐬), refers to individuals who have a heightened sensitivity to stimuli, emotions, and the environment. HSPs are believed to process information deeply and are more easily overwhelmed by stimuli than others. This trait is thought to be largely innate and is estimated to affect around 15-20% of the population. Being a highly sensitive person can have both positive and negative aspects, and HSPs may benefit from learning coping strategies to manage their sensitivity in a healthy way.

The "chameleon characteristic" of highly sensitive people (HSPs) refers to their tendency to adapt to the emotions and moods of those around them. HSPs have been found to be more empathetic and in tune with the emotions of others, which can sometimes lead them to take on the feelings and perspectives of those around them. This ability to attune to others can also cause HSPs to lose a sense of their own needs and boundaries, leading to feelings of stress and overwhelm.

However, it's important to note that not all HSPs exhibit this "chameleon" trait, and that it is not a definitive aspect of being a highly sensitive person. Additionally, while the ability to attune to others can be beneficial in some situations, it can also be a source of stress if HSPs are not able to maintain their own sense of self and boundaries. Thus, HSPs may benefit from learning strategies for maintaining their own boundaries and regulating their emotions in social situations.

Many highly sensitive people (HSPs) have a spiritual psychological urge for personal growth and development. This can stem from their deep emotional and intuitive nature, which often leads them to seek deeper meaning and purpose in life. HSPs may also have a heightened sense of awareness and consciousness, which can drive them to seek out new experiences and insights in order to deepen their understanding of themselves and the world around them.

This spiritual psychological urge for growth can manifest in a variety of ways, including a desire for self-exploration and self-discovery, a longing for spiritual connection, or a fascination with personal development practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and introspection. For HSPs, this drive for growth can be a source of both fulfillment and challenge, as they may struggle with feeling overwhelmed by their heightened sensitivity and emotions. Thus, it's important for HSPs to engage in practices that promote balance, self-care, and inner peace in order to support their ongoing growth and well-being.

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.
