Reaching Out To The Higher Self

“Happiness is no other than soundness and perfection of the mind”

Marcus Aurelius

As you sharpen your awareness you begin to appreciate that the psyche comprises two distinct selves:

1. The higher or spiritual self
2. The lower or false self

Conditioned thinking keeps you locked in the latter; increased awareness unveils the catalyst that reaches out to the former. Put that another way: there is good and bad in all of us; there is a right and a wrong way of approaching everyday life; there is harmony in one direction, disharmony in the other.

o Why is it especially significant now? (You have known this stuff since childhood)

o What’s the point of it all?

o What benefits are likely to accrue in retirement by focusing your attention on the inner workings of the psyche?

Just this: the universe may be infinite but life itself is finite.

Living out your days in pursuit of enrichment is where you ought to position yourself; reaching out to the spiritual self with positive awareness to the exclusion of the negativity of the lower, false self.
