  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.

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.

To love someone unconditionally

By Anelly Aya

 

 It can be challenging to love someone unconditionally when they are not able to reciprocate that love in the same way. However, it's important to remember that you can only control your own actions and emotions, not those of others. Here are some strategies that may be helpful in loving someone unconditionally, even if they are unable to do the same for you:

✅ Practice compassion: Try to see the other person's perspective, and recognize that they may be struggling with their own issues or limitations that prevent them from loving you unconditionally. By showing compassion and understanding, you may be able to approach the relationship from a place of empathy and connection.

✅ Set healthy boundaries: While it's important to love others unconditionally, it's also important to protect your own emotional well-being. If the other person's actions or words are hurting you, it may be necessary to set healthy boundaries to protect yourself.

✅ Practice self-love: Learning to love yourself unconditionally can help you to approach relationships from a place of strength and self-assuredness, rather than from a place of neediness or desperation. By cultivating a strong sense of self-love, you may be better equipped to love others unconditionally, even if they are unable to do the same for you.

✅ Accept the situation: Sometimes, despite our best efforts, we may not be able to change the other person's behavior or emotions. In such cases, it may be necessary to accept the situation as it is, and focus on cultivating love and connection in other areas of your life.

Remember, loving others unconditionally is a process, and it may take time and effort to achieve. By practicing compassion, setting healthy boundaries, practicing self-love, and accepting the situation, you may be able to build a relationship with the other person that is based on love, understanding, and connection, even if they are unable to love you unconditionally in return.

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.
