By Anelly Aya
  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 screen remains ...

By Anelly Aya
 Self-realization is a universal quest that transcends cultural, religious, and geographical boundaries. Every human being, knowingly or unknowingly, seeks a deeper understanding of themselves and their existence. Whether through spiritual inquiry, intellectual exploration, or emotional introspection, the pursuit of self-awareness is at the core of human experience. This chapter introduces the concept of self-realization and the essential journey toward discovering the inner Self, often referred to as consciousness or the true Self. ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐’๐ž๐ฅ๐Ÿ-๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ณ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง? At its heart, self-realization is the awareness of one’s true nature beyond the confines of the body, mind, and ego. It is the process of realizing that our identity is not limited to the roles we play, the thoughts we think, or the emotions we feel, but that we are, in essence, a deeper, more expansive presence—often referred to as consciousness, awareness, or simply, the Self. Many spiritual...

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.

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...

Karmic Payback: Here and Now

By Anelly Aya
    The concept of "instant karma," where one experiences the consequences of their actions immediately, is a fascinating topic that has intrigued people across cultures and centuries. Rooted in ancient spiritual traditions, the idea suggests that the universe responds swiftly to our deeds, rewarding the good and punishing the bad. The German proverb, "God punishes small sins immediately," echoes this belief, highlighting the notion that no action goes unnoticed by the divine forces governing the moral order of the world. Instant Karma: The Concept and Its Significance The term "instant karma" popularized by John Lennon in his 1970 song, refers to the immediate repercussions of one's actions. It aligns closely with the Hindu and Buddhist concept of Prarabdha Karma , which is the portion of past karma that is currently being experienced. Unlike other forms of karma that may manifest in future lives, Prarabdha karma is seen as the karma that...

The Gift of Self-Reflection: Insights from a Sea Retreat

By Anelly Aya
   Each year, my annual journey to the sea is more than just a getaway—it's a profound experience that offers unforgettable moments and invaluable life lessons. The sea has always been a mirror, reflecting back to me the essence of who I am, offering a form of self-remembrance that is both humbling and enlightening. This year was particularly special. It presented an opportunity to see myself from an external perspective. Rather than delving into specific details and events, I aim to share the internal journey—my feelings, reflections, and realizations as I navigated through various situations. Life's lessons often come in stages, much like a school curriculum. First, there's the theoretical introduction, laying a philosophical foundation. Soon after, life presents a test to see if these lessons have been truly integrated and can be applied in practical situations. This year at the sea, I encountered such a test. I've always had a persistent desire to obse...

Embracing Change -The Evolution of Your Career

By Anelly Aya
  In today's fast-paced and ever-changing world, the notion that a single career path should define your entire life is becoming increasingly outdated.

Embracing the Spiritual Shift - From Expectation to Acceptance

By Anelly Aya
   In our fast-paced, goal-oriented world, it's easy to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of expectations. We expect success, happiness, love, and even the weather to align with our desires. We often forget that life is a mysterious journey, full of twists and turns that we can't always control. But what if we shifted our perspective from expecting to accepting? This profound shift can bring a sense of peace and spiritual fulfillment that many of us are seeking. The Expectation Trap Expectations, in themselves, are not inherently negative. They can motivate us to strive for excellence and work towards our goals. However, when we become overly attached to specific outcomes, we set ourselves up for disappointment and unnecessary suffering. We may find ourselves constantly striving for more, comparing our lives to others, and feeling discontented when reality doesn't match our expectations. In many spiritual traditions, this attachment to outcomes is seen as a...
