The Mind & The True Self

This message is mostly for those of you who have come to realize there is a difference between your Mind and what some term your True Self and others term your Soul.

Let’s begin with the fact that the Mind consists of an Ego which seeks self-realization in the here and now.  It is trying to figure out its whys and wherefores within the limits of the present.

However, for a Mind who does not accept the existence of a True Self/Soul, it can easily be caught in a lonely quandary of doubts that may prevent its development.

That may be okay if one’s goals are limited only to present needs.  However, the resulting short-term planning is usually filled either with anxiety, emptiness or both.

Accepting the existence of the True Self/Soul provides one with a more expanded vision, knowing one’s “now” is part of a past that is an accumulation of a variety of potential learning experiences that will be ongoing in the future.

These past experiences can be tapped into simply with one’s acknowledgment of the True Self/Soul’s beingness and/or the help of past life regressions, which can be facilitated, if a person has an open mind to it.

It’s often been the case, when I have taken a client through a past death in such a session, that it has been difficult to move them forward to another life because they so enjoyed the absolute freedom they were experiencing in that “in between.”

It’s my contention that this dimension and this planet are meant to be joyful abodes with each lifetime bringing in a clearer perception of one’s ability to cope with the challenges presented.  When one patiently prepares for his/her goals, angst and uneasiness dissipates and focus is enhanced.

That may hold true even for those who believe “this” is it.  But, for those who see life as an ongoing epic, one’s present existence becomes another exciting chapter, leading to ultimate divinity.

Accepting that your “here and now” is only a limited phase of your beingness, your present life will be less stressful and allow for a clearer focus on your preparation for the ultimate You with the “waiting” becoming a more perfect experience.

May your light and talent be a shining beacon to your True Self/Soul and the rest of our world.
