Hi Friends ~
When I/we are feeling discontent and cannot put a finger on exactly what is causing it, in the past we used to go for a drive, have a piece of chocolate, watch a movie, or some other outer activity to alleviate the awkward feeling. I did say in the past, because we are on a vertical journey now as we search within for our answers.
It seems funny now to look back and remember all those times I would get in the car if I felt lonely, and go join a crowd of people somewhere. I look at that type of solution now as only temporary and does not change the inner feeling, at all. The spiritual journey is the inner journey, and why is that, I hear some ask?
Because if you take everything outside of yourself away, what are you left with? The same you.
The spiritual journey is a journey of self-discovery apart from the physicality of our earth life. We are here to awaken to the inner-self, the inner-world, that provides us with everything we will ever need. The solutions and awakenings we experience within are permanent.
They come from the part of us that is eternal: our consciousness.
Awakening to the self that resides within this physical body is the beginning. We have realized that we are not the physical body nor the personality.
Awakening to our inner-world is the first step in getting to know who you really are. And the difficult part is continuing to live within the illusion of our created earth world. Now we are aware of two Selfs: the real self and the self we show to others, our outer self or personality.
That is why I call the personality a 'tool.' It allows us to live out our earth life among society, blending in, fulfilling our earthly responsibilities in a social environment.
We have now become the 'observer.'
As we are now aware of our real self, it begins to come forward and observe the personality self. A very interesting way to live. I don't wish to talk about myself too much here, it's not about me, it's about sharing spiritual awakening, but I have lived in this awareness of watching myself through my higher spiritual aspect for many years.
The reason that many folks share their awakenings and awareness of their true self is to show that it's perfectly normal, and who each and every one of us actually is. No one is more special than the other, just at different levels of awakening.
Living as the observer is a great way to live because you learn so much, dear friends. You learn a lot about yourself by seeing where you have come from, and the experiences that led you to where you are now.
One needs to be careful though as judgment can easily creep in, and we have all done that. The feeling of oneness of spirit helps when observing and conversing with others. It's a whole new 'ball game.'
With each deep awakening of the different layers of the true self, our personal light expands. Our consciousness is expanding and is aligning us closer to re-uniting with our higher self. It is well worth dropping the outer world for solutions to inner disharmony and discontent, and going within.
That nice cheesecake or bar of chocolate will not take the place of permanent change that comes from within. I believe that food addiction and many other addictions are caused by trying to find comfort in the outer-world, and when it's not found, the addiction continues.
I hope you've all had a lovely weekend ~ It's a glorious day here in Australia, in our Autumn time.
Much love to You, Tara *~~
