  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.

Life can be unpredictable

By Anelly Aya

 

 Life can be unpredictable, and sometimes it can feel like everything is falling apart. It is in those moments that we need to dig deep and find our inner strength. Inner strength is the resilience and determination to carry on in the face of adversity, even when everything seems to be going wrong. It is a powerful force that can help us overcome challenges and emerge stronger on the other side.

To cultivate inner strength, it is important to focus on the things that we can control. This means taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally, and practicing positive self-talk. We can also build our inner strength by setting goals and working towards them, even when the road ahead seems daunting.

However, finding inner strength is not always easy. Sometimes, we need to turn to others for support. This could be family, friends, or even a therapist or counselor. By opening up to others and seeking their help, we can find the strength we need to carry on.

Another important aspect of inner strength is the ability to choose what to believe and where to position ourselves. In today's world, there are many different viewpoints and beliefs that coexist, and it can be challenging to navigate them all. However, by taking the time to reflect on our own values and beliefs, we can choose where we want to stand and what we want to stand for.

At the same time, it is important to recognize that there are many different truths that coexist. What is true for one person may not be true for another. This can be difficult to accept, especially when we feel strongly about our own beliefs. However, by acknowledging the validity of different perspectives, we can learn to be more open-minded and understanding.

Ultimately, the key to finding inner strength and choosing our position is to stay true to ourselves. We need to listen to our own hearts and minds and trust our instincts. We may face criticism or pushback from others, but if we are confident in our own values and beliefs, we can stay strong and resilient.

In conclusion, finding inner strength and choosing our position in life can be a challenging journey. However, by focusing on the things we can control, seeking support when we need it, and staying true to ourselves, we can navigate even the toughest challenges. It is important to remember that there are many different truths that coexist, and that we have the power to choose where we want to stand and what we want to stand for. With these tools, we can find the inner strength we need to carry on, even in the face of adversity.

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.
