Within Each Of Us

Within each one of us is a life force, the source of our being. There is nothing that is not made up of it. It has been named and described in many ways, but it is the same however viewed and described. It is commonly referred to as God, in whom we live and breathe and have our being. Sincere looking within will invariably reveal it.

We have experience of it often and most often take it for granted, not recognizing it for what it is. Every time you have received guidance, those gentle and loving urges to do the right thing—that which, when you do it, you are glad you did and when you don’t, you wish you had, there it is. Every time inspiration has come during a creative process or when dealing with matters great and small, there it is. Every time you have been in the zone in a sports, dance or other physical context, there it is.

When in the course of time one comes to recognize it as the real or true self, sometimes referred to as higher self, and to recognize that the personality made up of our habitual thought and emotional patterns is not, testing and coming to believe may take place. At that point, one may begin to renounce the lower self. To stop believing that it is real. To actively diminish this lower self’s dominion and allow the higher self to come more to the fore.

As experience with this higher self grows, one seeks to become totally immersed in it, and as that process continues, one becomes as a new being and is, in effect, reborn into this higher state of communion with source.

All of this may sound somewhat familiar to many. It has been spoken of before.
