  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 concept of choice

By Anelly Aya

 The concept of choice is central to our #existence as human beings. It is what enables us to make decisions, to take actions, and to shape our lives. But what happens when our choices lead us down a path of separation from our spiritual selves and from the Divine? This is where the concept of having no choice comes into play.

At first glance, the idea of having no choice may seem like a surrender of our power or an acceptance of fate. However, it is important to understand that this is not a passive #resignation, but an active choice to trust in something greater than ourselves.

This #trust and #humility allow us to let go of our claims, desires, and fears and instead embrace reality as it is according to God's Will. When we do this, we remove the obstacles that stand in the way of our healing from the separation from God that we experience in our lives.

The root of this separation from God is often caused by our attachment to the world of the fallen. We become ensnared in the ruts of worldly life, chasing after #materialpossessions, status, and power. In doing so, we become like the fallen and lose sight of our #spiritual selves.

However, even when we make conscious choices to avoid these pitfalls, we may still find ourselves in the world of the fallen. This is because the very act of trying to save the world or ourselves can create an attachment and a fixed idea of awakening that must be released.

In both cases, the solution lies in surrendering to the #Divine and letting reality unfold as it is. This requires a deep sense of trust in the universe and in God, which can be challenging for many of us. However, it is important to remember that this trust is not blind faith, but a recognition of the inherent #wisdom and #goodness of the universe.

From a #spiritual perspective, the act of surrendering to God's Will is a path to #enlightenment and #awakening. It allows us to move beyond the limitations of our #ego and connect with our #truenature as #spiritualbeings. This #connection brings us a sense of #peace, #purpose, and #fulfillment that cannot be found through material possessions or worldly success.

Psychologically, the act of surrendering to God's Will can be seen as a form of #acceptance and #mindfulness. It is a way of #lettinggo of our attachments to our desires, fears, and #judgments, and instead living in the present moment with an open and non-judgmental mind.

This practice can help us to reduce our #stress and #anxiety, improve our relationships, and increase our overall #wellbeing. By letting go of our need for control and instead trusting in the universe, we can find a sense of #innerpeace and #contentment that is often lacking in our fast-paced and chaotic world.

In conclusion, the concept of #havingnochoice is not a call to give up on our lives or to accept our fate blindly. Rather, it is an invitation to let go of our attachments to our desires, fears, and judgments, to free ourselves from our ideas and visions of how reality should happen, and to trust in something greater than ourselves. This surrender to God's Will allows us to move beyond the limitations of our ego and connect with our true nature as spiritual beings. It brings us a sense of peace, purpose, and fulfillment that cannot be found through material possessions or worldly success.

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.
