𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟? 𝐔𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲

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
    The phrase "it is coldest just before sunrise" reminds us that personal growth and transformation are not always easy or comfortable, but they are necessary for us to become our most authentic selves.

It is coldest just before sunrise

By Anelly Aya
    "It is coldest just before sunrise" is an age-old adage that has been passed down through generations, and it holds deep spiritual and psychoanalytical nuances. This statement is not only a reference to the physical world but also has a profound metaphorical and symbolic meaning that resonates with our lives. From a spiritual perspective, the saying "It is coldest just before sunrise" refers to the darkest moments that we experience in our lives. These are the times when we feel lost, alone, and disconnected from the world around us. However, it is essential to understand that these dark moments are not permanent, and just like the darkest hour of the night comes just before the dawn, our darkest moments pave the way for new beginnings, growth, and transformation. Spiritually speaking, these dark moments are often seen as an opportunity for spiritual awakening and self-discovery. The coldness and darkness of these moments symbolize the shedding of ...

Self-love as love for God

By Anelly Aya
  In the first place is Love for God, this is what is meant by self-love. In the second place and on equal principles - love for God 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 other, 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.

Simplicity and spirituality

By Anelly Aya
    In today's #fastpaced , consumer-driven world, #simplicity is often seen as a luxury or an afterthought. We are bombarded with messages telling us that we need to buy more, do more, and be more in order to be happy and successful. But the truth is, this constant striving for more can leave us feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and disconnected from our deepest selves and our spiritual lives. In contrast, the practice of simplicity invites us to #slowdown , simplify our lives, and focus on what truly matters. This might mean decluttering our homes and our schedules, practicing mindful consumption, or intentionally cultivating #gratitude and #contentment in the present moment. By #simplifying our lives, we can create the space we need to connect with our spiritual selves, cultivate a deeper sense of #meaning and purpose, and live more #fulfilling lives. So what is the connection between simplicity and #spirituality ? At its core, simplicity is about stripping away...
