The ‘Self’ – not be confused with the Inner Self – has been filled with conditioning, programming and back-up systems to help keep the need for the role to stay intact. If that fails, then friends, family or colleagues are used to shift the focus back to your original role.
Whatever you do, there is always a battle around you for supremacy over your decisions, your needs and what makes you happy.
This battle will never stop whilst you want change. It’s an inward battle to retain some sense of peace and harmony amongst the outer influences that so often besiege you – or an inner recognition of acceptance of who you are and your place in the world.
When you stop struggling against the world, and the people around you, you slip quietly back to you role, and the battle ceases.
Now for those who cannot – and will not – accept this outcome, I need to talk about the Inner Self.
Quietly and majestically, it sits deep within your mind hidden from view until it is called into action.
So what is the Inner Self?
It is the part of you that can be seen as what is natural and pure. Is it the Spirit? No. Is it the Soul? No.
What it is, is the most natural, even forgotten, part of who you are. It is beyond desires, dreams and beyond beliefs. It is not affected by outer experiences or the influence of others. Instead, it is an inner place that needs to be explored and experienced.
When you discover the Inner Self, only then can you experience the peace and one-ness that you have been looking for.
