  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.

Self-love

By Anelly Aya

 

 #Love is a fundamental aspect of human nature, and it plays a crucial role in our #relationships with others and ourselves. Love is not just an emotion, but it is a choice that we make to prioritize the #wellbeing of others and ourselves. Love is not selfish, but it is #selfless, and it involves putting the needs of others before our own. Love is the cornerstone of human existence, and it is essential for our #personalgrowth and development. In this post, we will explore the meaning of #selflove and how it relates to our love for others and our personalities.

In the first place is #LovetowardsGod, this is what is meant by self-love.
In the second place and on equal principles - #loveforGod in the other and God in oneself.
And in the third place - love, #understanding and #compassion for one's personality and the #personality of the others, in the form of respect and understanding and #tolerating the speed with which the Truth is seen - the speed with which the illusory layers of the personality are stripped away, the speed with which the ego is polished and vices and old karmic programs are cleared, the speed with which virtues are acquired.

In the first place, love for God is what is meant by self-love. When we love ourselves, we are acknowledging the presence of God within us. We are recognizing that we are created in the image of God, and we are worthy of love and respect. Self-love is not selfishness, but it is an act of #kindness towards ourselves. It involves #accepting ourselves as we are, with all our flaws and #imperfections. When we love ourselves, we are better equipped to love others, and we can contribute #positively to the world around us.

In the second place, love for God in the other and God in oneself is of equal importance. When we love others, we are acknowledging the presence of God within them. We are recognizing that they are also created in the image of God, and they are #worthyoflove and #respect. Love for others involves treating them with kindness, compassion, and respect, regardless of their background, religion, or beliefs. It involves seeing them as fellow human beings who are struggling to find their way in life, just like we are.

Love for God in oneself and in the other is interconnected, and it involves recognizing that we are all part of a larger whole. We are all interconnected, and our actions have a ripple effect on the world around us. When we love ourselves, we are better equipped to love others, and when we love others, we are contributing positively to the world around us.

In the third place, love, understanding, and compassion for one's personality and the personality of the other is essential. We are all unique individuals with different personalities, backgrounds, and life experiences. Love for our personality involves respecting ourselves for who we are, with all our strengths and weaknesses. It involves recognizing that we are constantly evolving, and we are capable of changing for the better. It involves accepting ourselves for who we are, without judgment or self-criticism.

Love for the personality of the other involves recognizing that they are also unique individuals with their own strengths and weaknesses. It involves respecting them for who they are, without judgment or criticism. It involves understanding that they are constantly evolving, and they are capable of changing for the better. Love, understanding, and compassion for one's personality and the personality of the other involve respecting the pace at which we all grow and evolve. It involves recognizing that we all have different speeds at which we shed our illusory layers, polish our ego, and clear our old karmic programs. It involves accepting that we all have different speeds at which we acquire virtues and grow into our best selves.

In conclusion, love is the foundation of human existence, and it is essential for our personal growth and development. Love for God, self, and others is #interconnected, and it involves recognizing that we are all part of a larger whole. Love, understanding, and compassion for one's personality and the #personality of the other involve respecting the pace at which we all grow and evolve. When we love ourselves and others, we are contributing positively to the world around us, and we are #fulfilling our purpose as human beings.

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.
