  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.

When we shift from fear to love

By Anelly Aya

 

 The concept of miracles has been a central theme in spiritual and religious traditions for centuries. Miracles are often considered to be acts of divine intervention or supernatural occurrences that defy explanation. However, many spiritual teachers and practitioners believe that miracles are not necessarily supernatural events, but rather a shift in perception that allows us to see the world in a new light.

Fear is the opposite of love, and it is the root cause of all suffering and conflict in the world. Fear is the feeling that arises when we believe that we are separate from each other and from the divine. It is the belief that we are alone, vulnerable, and at the mercy of a hostile and unpredictable world.

On the other hand, love is the recognition that we are all interconnected and that there is a divine presence within each of us. Love is the belief that we are not separate from each other, but rather part of a larger whole. It is the understanding that we are all in this together and that we can support and uplift each other.

When we shift from fear to love, we are able to see the world in a new way. We are no longer bound by our limiting beliefs and perceptions, and we are able to see the beauty and wonder of the world around us. We are able to connect with others in a deep and meaningful way, and we are able to access a sense of peace and joy that is not dependent on external circumstances.

This shift in perception is not always easy, however. It often requires us to confront our deepest fears and insecurities, and to let go of the beliefs and patterns that have kept us stuck in fear. It requires us to be vulnerable and to trust in a power greater than ourselves.

One of the keys to making this shift is to cultivate a spiritual practice that helps us to connect with our inner wisdom and guidance. This can include practices such as meditation, prayer, journaling, or spending time in nature. Through these practices, we are able to quiet our minds and connect with our inner voice, which can guide us towards a more loving and compassionate way of being.

Another important aspect of making this shift is to surround ourselves with people who support and uplift us. This can include friends, family members, or spiritual communities that share our values and beliefs. By surrounding ourselves with positive influences, we are able to stay connected to our sense of purpose and to the love that is at the core of our being.

Ultimately, the shift from fear to love is a lifelong journey that requires courage, commitment, and perseverance. It is a journey that is full of challenges and obstacles, but it is also a journey that is filled with wonder and beauty. As we move through life, we have the opportunity to choose whether we want to live in fear or in love. And when we choose love, we open ourselves up to a world of infinite possibility and potential.

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.
