THE HIGH SELF

In every situation in your life you should be asking yourself: "Am I being at-one-ment with the highest behavioral synthesis I can assume at this time? What would my perfect self say or do or be?" Incidentally, I am not the medium's higher self, nor am I a portion of the psychic's unconscious or personality. Ego functions, logic, rationalization, debate, negotiation--these things serve a purpose, yet there are times that these things will work against you, not for you. The ability to give up oneself to higher principles is a prerequisite not only for initiation, but self-empowerment as well. Your identity and yourselves are formed by the concepts within your mind. Now, frequently you form concepts in your youth and your teenage years, in times of stress and duress, and you forget to let these go. So you have made decisions in your past that influence your world today, your emotional reality today and the level of pleasure you exist at.

If you have any emotion over any particular subject, it means you have a charge on that subject. There are even neuter emotions. Indifference is an emotion. There is a difference between indifference and non-attachment. When you learn to distinguish the difference, the more pure that you become, the more sensitive you are to different psychological feeling states within the body, so that you will look at a person and a friend of yours in another perceptual condition will look at the same person, but you will see nuances in the anger the perceived person may be experiencing that your friend would not. Your friend would simply say he or she was agitated or angry or frustrated but you would see the various shades and color of the anger. As you get more evolved you would then see the cause of the anger. And as you get more evolved you would then see the beliefs that led to the cause of the anger being a justified reality.

One masters the laws of karma through developing the ability to regulate self-control, and self-mastery is indeed a genuine goal. However, one must be aware that the ego can use any intellectual function, including controlling memory and mood to produce aberrant decisions that waste time, resources, and the reaping of benefits. So it is vital to eliminate self-sabotage functions.
