the higher self

[manny]

what i want is for you to share your experience between you and your higherself.

what made you aware of it.
how did it communicate with you.
has it changed your life.
what are your experiences.

i am not interested in,i read this there or here,or here is a link.

In Hawaiian Huna they believe we have 3 souls, the conscious, the subconscious and the superconscious. To understand the difference between the 3 I feel this image is an interesting representation.


http://www.customcalm.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/iceberg-243x300.jpg

The conscious mind is what exists above the water, the part of the iceberg which can be seen in the light of day. The subconscious is the larger part of the iceberg which can only be seen as you delve deeper inside yourself. The super conscious would be the ocean...while the conscious and subconscious exist in solid form, the superconscious is more fluid, more expansive and exists only in an altered state...it spreads out and encapsulates the entire oceans. Since it has access to alot more information than the conscious it knows exactly which direction to push or pull you in. By shifting it's currents and creating waves it can guide the iceberg to float in any direction it wishes thereby taking you to any destination it perceives to be in your best interest.

The goal of enlightenment is to shine light on the iceberg so that our judgements and perceptions begin to melt away, returning heat and warmth into our lives and as we do that...the conscious starts to merge with the awareness of the subconscious bringing everything into conscious awareness...then as we melt away the illusions further the ice completely melts back into the superconscious so that we can gain insight into the the more fluid and dynamic aspects of our inner selves. The subconscious, super conscious and conscious come into unity...a fusion of mind, body and spirit.

Mind = conscious
Body= subconscious
spirit= the ocean, emotion (energy in motion)

spirit communicates through images, sensations, flashes of insight and inspiration, divine feelings of joy and bliss, anything that motivates you to take greater opportunities in life and grow to become more than you currently thought you could be. The more we can quiet our conscious mind and still our subconscious processes, the more we can be receptive to these messages from our higher self (our spirit) and pay attention to the guidance that this part of us is directing us into.

Okay, Manny, thats a worthy challenge!!! My Inner Self, my so called Higher Self guides me and to the extent that I listen and follow through, my life is harmonious, abundant, full and fun. Ive come to realize that it is the LifeForce itself, it sees the Big picture of all of us and it is fantastically Intelligent.

I must say, I too at times get frustrated with references to books videos etc, when I'd rather hear or read personal experiences!

[<8>]

Hi Manny...

I realise that the higher self and me are the same.
Ofc in the start i (like many more) try to understand and talk to (It) Like you say. Now (i) walk the path of "me" The higher self.

A bit short, but i hope you understand.
P.s I dont whant to end up in a box. Humans whant to put all things in a box.

It was pointed out to me, and I thought, "Is that all?" Then a sense of relief came over me.

Your request is for personal experiences and Knowings vs links or repeating what someone else said/wrote. I experience the concept of a Higher Self as a higher aspect of self, one that exists on a higher dimension, and is therefore closer to Source.

Source experiences creation by sending out 'probes' or aspects of Source's self into individuation, in order to grow and experience and learn and expand. At the highest dimensional level, the level of Source, there is no individuation. All That Is is all that is.

Each lifestream is the result of a series of patterned separations. Think of it as the Fractal Universe. Each consciousness separates and sends out its own 'probes' and so on and so on. But this happens in an orderly Higher-mathmatical fashion.

So your Self, that which you see as You, is the aspect of self, or the separated aspect of consciousness, that is existing right now on the Earthplane level of existence which is the lowest frequency there is. Your higher Self is the next level Self that is existing on a level of consciousness somewhere closer to Source.

Mine was a 7th dimensional aspect of Self. However I merged with that aspect some few years ago. (When I merged with my Twin Flame and therefore we merged 2 lifestreams of souls) So now my Higher Self is my next Self closer to Source, who happens to be a 12th dimensional consciousness. I now work with her (interestingly it is expressed to me as a 'her'). It is this aspect of Self who is closer to the self that was present in Atlantis and gradually she fractalized as the Earthplane slipped in frequency. The plan now is to re-merge aka ascend with Terra or Gaia however you like to name the Earth herself.

Differewnt lifestreams have fractalized onto different dimensions and so not every Self is existing on every dimension.

[manny]

Jayke i thank you for your answer but you are talking from Hawaiian Huna experience not your own.

carmen is your experience from the higher self or just you as you are a lovely ,bubbly person enjoying life.

<8> you state ..I realise that the higher self and me are the same..when,how did you realise this,what is your experience.

pie man..you state...It was pointed out to me, and I thought, "Is that all?" Then a sense of relief came over me....who or what pointed it out to you,and when,did it make a change for yourself.

would you care to share your story,from the beginning to where you are at now.(thats what i am looking for )the realization in people.what changed you.what made you believe in a higher self.
the experience....
i could google higher self and it would probably come up with 100,s of searches or i could find links here there and everywhere.what i am seeking is your personal experience.not anyone else,s idea,s or theory,s....it must be yours.

[greybeard]

The Higher Self is the same Higher Self that others have.
To be clear there is only One Higher Self.

When I am in difficulty of any kind I surrender the situation to Higher Self (AA defines Higher Self as the God of your understanding, that just one definition)

I was being made homeless, I surendered.
I kept bumpin into an old AA friend (I hadent been to AA for many years)
He persuade me to go to a few meetings I had resisted this as I don t need meetings now.

I was no 6034 on the housing list no hope there, I was to go into a hostel.
I was interviewed and asked if I had any support.
I was about to say no then the penny dropped I said yes I go to AA I was classed as vunerable and got a Council house days later.
That kind of help happens when needed.
So coincidences guide me thats Higher Self in action.
its easy for Higher Self to bring about coincidences as it resides in all.
There is only One Self, the mind cant get that it. The ego dosent want to.

Hope that helps.

Chris

Jayke i thank you for your answer but you are talking from Hawaiian Huna experience not your own.

Incorrect Manny, Huna only provided the 3 souls part, everything from the picture of the iceberg down is my own experience and understanding, huna just provided the foundation i could leap off.

[Carmen]

No, manny, my Higher Self was and is distinct from my personality self although they are part and parcel of the same being. The Higher Self messages/inspiration are different and especially in the early days of my realizations, quite challenging.

One example of challenge was when it came to the point in my life when I had to be truthful in all things and all ways. Now, this was not a real biggy for me because I had always been basically truthful. The only person I was untruthful to, at times, was my husband because of his critisizms and judgements of what I did and said. Also I would hold things back about our kids that he would be condeming of. This particular day, it was time to stop all that. Man, what an inner dialogue, an inner fight that was. My ego was fearful and hesitant. My HS just keep saying "Come on, just Do It!!! It'll be fine, trust Me!!! Can't even remember what I was fessing up about, but Man do I ever remember the twoing and frowing of my ego and my HS. In the end I responded to the HS and did it, whatever it was. And it was absolutely fine! The ego is quite a coward (well mine is anyway) but the HS is courageous and loving.

To live in the integrity of absolute truth is evolutionary to all humans. The HS also knows when we are ready to move in consciousness and will prompt us to do so. To refuse is to remain static and stuck. The HS will bring us face to face, over and over again, to what we most need to learn Now, until we get it. The release, the euforia (spelling!) is amazing and expansive.

[Teakai]

Hi Manny - my experience is that I took a journey where I decluttered the head crap and found stillness of mind. This process has allowed the connection with something Truer.

:)

[truthseekerdan]

Dear Manny,

Each one of us has a different path and experiences to follow in this life. All of the experiences, both pleasant and unpleasant, are the product of our past choices made by our metaphysical being. But they have not been chosen in the sense of a disconnected higher self bestowing or imposing an experience on our consciousness in order for us to just make the best of it. The choosing happens when we create conditions that set forces in motion that draw specific experiences to us. Our thoughts have a direction and purpose we can trust. Our mind is in motion all the time. Letting go of control and attachments connects us to our higher self. The true meaning of our life is to be grounded in love and self-trust.

Much Love

[Anchor]

Manny there are a couple of threads on the higherself you might like to read ( I know you didnt ask for links, but there are experiences documented on some of them)

Reconnecting with your higher self (Humanalien) http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?22006-Reconnecting-with-your-higher-self&p=235218

One I posted which is a reference to some channeled work from LLResearch The Higher Self http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?15682-LLResearch-The-Higher-Self&p=166355

The conversation you will have with your higher self is internal. Meditation is a great way to encourage this by creating an "environment" where this can happen.

I wrote my experiences before in a conversation about intuition (which is oftern related to the workings of the higher self)



A Question about intuition? when i am contemplating subjects i will often ask myself Questions and an answer will just pop into my head that just makes senses. it will often lead onto another Question and then another answer will pop into my head which will then lead to another Question and then it repeats, it can lead me to asking Questions and mulling ideas that weren't on my mind and that i would not have thought of otherwise. is it my intuition doing that? most of the time i don't get any feeling with it but i do have depression so the signals in by brain do not always work right so it is possible there is emotion with the answers/Ideas but the signal does not get to it's destination hence i don't feel the emotion that comes along with it. this has happened on many occasions.

Do you think it could be intuition?
how dose intuition work?
any Info you can provide would be appreciated and thank you in advance.

I am not a conventional what you might say authority on this, but I can tell you my experience and what it means to me.

When I first read your post, I immediately related this to my own discovery of how inspirations happened in my mind which after many months have come to the conclusion that it is my higher-self, or what I sometime call super-concious.

There are some characteristics of the answers you might like to review and see if you agree:

1) The answer is instant, you don't even have a moment between the question and the answer coming
2) If there is a voice, it will be yours, if it is more telepathic the thought will just be in your head as if you had it yourself.
3) You can repeat the process as many times as you need to be sure you get the same one
4) The ego does not have time to react or get involved, though it might put up a fight as you assimilate the data!

Personally I file intuition under another category - that of heart. I think my intuition comes from listening to my heart (occasionally at the insistence of my higher-self), but inspiration comes seems to come from my higher self and usually only when asked. If something comes pre-emptively and there is time I ask to check. In emergencies, I learn to respond immediately - I trust it and I have been saved by it.

I first discovered this process when I was working as a programmer. Often when working hard on tough problems it would be my habit to put off bathroom breaks. Eventually of course, one gives in, and as a male, I would be standing there probably start off thinking about the problem then {really sorry for this too much information moment} starting at a blank wall, "letting go" as one does in that situation and I would get inspiration in that moment. After a few repeat performances, I began to relate the WC as the "thinking room". My team mates started to notice that my solutions would manifest after I came back - and one guy used to tell me to go to the thinking room when I was struggling with a problem.

Shortly after that I realised that the mental state of relaxing and letting go was key to this process and I found it was possible in other situations. Later I discovered meditation and in fact this is what you do in meditation (in my opinion, a large part of it anyway). This ties in neatly with what Sepia said in her post. After a few years I finally managed to get into the habit of regular meditation. I wrote some things to help get started -> here (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?3779-Meditating-simply) <- and I unconditionally recommend meditation for everyone!

I am not sure this is an answer, but I hope this helps with getting the question in another perspective.

Your request is for personal experiences and Knowings vs links or repeating what someone else said/wrote. I experience the concept of a Higher Self as a higher aspect of self, one that exists on a higher dimension, and is therefore closer to Source.

Source experiences creation by sending out 'probes' or aspects of Source's self into individuation, in order to grow and experience and learn and expand. At the highest dimensional level, the level of Source, there is no individuation. All That Is is all that is.

Each lifestream is the result of a series of patterned separations. Think of it as the Fractal Universe. Each consciousness separates and sends out its own 'probes' and so on and so on. But this happens in an orderly Higher-mathmatical fashion.

So your Self, that which you see as You, is the aspect of self, or the separated aspect of consciousness, that is existing right now on the Earthplane level of existence which is the lowest frequency there is. Your higher Self is the next level Self that is existing on a level of consciousness somewhere closer to Source.

Mine was a 7th dimensional aspect of Self. However I merged with that aspect some few years ago. (When I merged with my Twin Flame and therefore we merged 2 lifestreams of souls) So now my Higher Self is my next Self closer to Source, who happens to be a 12th dimensional consciousness. I now work with her (interestingly it is expressed to me as a 'her'). It is this aspect of Self who is closer to the self that was present in Atlantis and gradually she fractalized as the Earthplane slipped in frequency. The plan now is to re-merge aka ascend with Terra or Gaia however you like to name the Earth herself.

Different lifestreams have fractalized onto different dimensions and so not every Self is existing on every dimension.

My posting is my experience. It is also shared by my husband, more or less. It has been unfolding since abt 1968 (oops I date myself) and layer by layer revealed. A blow-by-blow iwould be lengthy to say the least. There is never IMO one thing that awakens one to the Higher Aspects of Self. There are many layers to every story; the 3D experience, the energies that were at play during that event, the understandings that make the entity grow. The many levels are often visible at the same time.

My own experiences started out like so many others; years of body work, yoga, breathworks, meditation, astrology, with nonstop reading and study. Active training in healing techniques like colour and crystal therapy. Reiki. Herbalism. Shamanism. Past life workshops. Rebirthing. Aromatherapy. Feng Shui. NSFH and other healer groups... quests to California, Arizona, UK all over, Hawaii, etc etc. Workshops til you drop.

It also includes being driven in the opposite direction towards Devon instead of London by a driver who has done the route countless times, then having the passenger jet I was booked on turn around in mid-air and return to the runway, all to enure I stayed in the uk to properly merge with my new-found Twin Flame. Once there we innocently agreed to do a reiki session and our joint energies were used to full bring in a walk-in (not fair of them). Major alternating kundalini breath was involuntarily raised by us across the massage couch to do so. Next day I could then see that the dark entities (also walk-ins from the Dark Lords of Orion) who conducted certain workshops were trying to reel in the attendees using sorcery, so went behind all the invocations in spirit and undid them, which threw the leaders into confusion. I've had etheric darts thrown at my power chakkra by crystal healing guru-types, and advised by higher light beings that the way to protect from certain attacks is to make your aura like a screen door- wide open so the attack just breezes through. I've flown with protectors who I thanked and let go - but too early because I was pounced on immediately by an aggressive Customs agent for a thorough grilling.


I've woken in Sedona to a welcoming party of 30+ Arcturians, freaked out and went back to sleep while my Higher Self took the meeting. I've been asked to redirect certain leylines away from vortexes that had become contaminated. We were guided to a standing stones circle to conceive our child (fun but not really our idea,we're private types) Then went home to find that a jigsaw puzzle was being done by those at home of that exact stone circle. We've been challenged by horror show visitors, both at our cottage and in the dreamworld, and faced no end of life difficulties.

I've joined family and partners on vacation, and experienced many past life memories. Each time it's a surprise, like Delphi (I knew I was there and saw some associates' roles too) and Schonnbrun Castle (I saw the gardens in the 18th c when I lived there, then after my mum died I saw she was my mum then too but the Holy Roman Empress and not nice). In Rome at 15yrs old I took a cab to the hotel and had to go around the Coliseum. I suddenly had a 104 degree temperature for 4 days. Later at a past life workshop I saw myself as a gladiator there for 4 years until killed by treachery in the arena. The Atlantis one is complex but I saw it many times during my crystal teaching / selling career. ie I was standing on the prow of a boat heading across the Mediterranean to Egypt and thinking 'Well, that's it. No home.' Having a home has been a huge challenge for me all this lifetime. I also met many of my associates from Atlantis over the years this life, and all are working to heal now from it.

We've talked with the Deva of our city, invited nature spirits onto our film, and had a shaman's own animal spirit guides tag along with us for a while. We've worked the energy to raise consciousness abt the G20. And joined others on AF to help Corn go back in time to remove itself before the ptb could attack it's very essence with their GM abuse and torture.

Enough. You'll recognize an aspect of your Higher Self at work when the extraordinary happens. But don't be surprised if your Higher Self is actually a lot like you.

[pharoah21]

I remember one time I was in a deep meditation, following an amazing massage by my girlfriend who was also using sacred crystals on me. I remember connecting with Gaia (my love of the earth has been quite intense ever since) but after she left the room, I remember getting very emotional all of a sudden, as I felt like my soul, which was buried deep within me, was coming to the surface. As it was coming to the surface, it felt like a very old friend which I had not seen in a long time. It was a very powerful experience, albeit only lasting a few seconds.

Meditations are the fastest way to connect with your inner/higher self

Ok, something started to try to communicate with me after I met a special person.

I started to see repeated numbers, 11:11 almost 30 times every day.

Then the numbers changed to others numbers, and then to image or specific message.

When I asked what the meaning of those numbers, I was shown the answer, by radio song / books / or website that would pop up from nowhere.

My higher self was guiding me /protecting me and warning me.

As I accepted this new guidance, visions, synchronicities started to happen to give me more and more answer. By following this guidance, life started to get very smooth, and every answer started to pop almost magically.

[Tony]

Jayke i thank you for your answer but you are talking from Hawaiian Huna experience not your own.

carmen is your experience from the higher self or just you as you are a lovely ,bubbly person enjoying life.

<8> you state ..I realise that the higher self and me are the same..when,how did you realise this,what is your experience.

or was it just a funny comment you wanted to post?

In Buddhism there is something called 'the pointing out instruction'. One is shown the nature of mind, it's like going to the end of the book to find out what it is all about. I do not know if this is what others call higher self. For me it is just empty cognisance. It is quite ordinary! The relief was, that has been there all the time!!!

It doesn't matter how high ones knowledge is or how deep ones meditation is, if one cannot liberate thoughts and emotions, it is useless. Maybe some people paths are full of flowers and divine beings, some of us have just ordinary paths.

It was explained to me whislt I was in a low part of my life, when you start hitting rock bottom the only way is up, I was given some words of advise about, positive thinking, mediation etc. This was a "chance" meeting with someone quiet enlightened, perhaps one of the reasons this resonated with me was an experience I had when I died and was brought back...(well I asked to come back given a choice) but thats another story.
Communication is two way and would imagine differs from person to person, I can feel energy and I do speak to higher self but answers can be cryptic and often is more about a sense of awareness, I dont get a to do list.
The feeling when conected for me is certainly a lighter feeling which is difficult to explain in words, things that would have been stressful are now accepted as part of life, without fear everything can be dealt with, the biggest fear for me death has been met, accepted, dealt with and I have no concern, it is easier to except your Dao or lifes path when unnecessary concerns and worries are kept in place. Manny it is hard to put into words the change, but the difference is noticable if not measurable, hope this gives you an essence.
As for experiences, after having connection I must admit I lost it and allowed life, family, money, work, envy, material gain to distract me, and it was only by re conecting again that the feelings once had, that had slipped away, returned. (strangly I didnt realise they had gone as life got too busy to allow me the time to be still and notice)
I dont have all the answers, but I do know that sometimes we seek logical answers we desire cause and effect, how does it work, has it happened to me, if I do A then B should happened what happens if it doesnt happen. How ever it doesn't work that way we are all individuals and as such our approach and our results will be what we need, not what we think we need. That can be the hardest lesson for those with a Western education or scientific upbringing.
Hope this helps you Manny
Love and light

Firstly i will try to define my understanding of the higher self, than give some personal experiences.

In hypnotherapy the subconscious mind is the HIGHER SELF. THe word subconscious is just a neutral terminology that will not offend an individuals belief system.

What is the HIGHER SELF? I have come to believe that the HIGHER SELF is our true nature. Our divine nature that can transcend time and space. It is ourselves in the future. The HIGHER SELF is there to assist us, guide us, give us answers to our problems, show us, find answers for us, to quell our discomforts, to nourish us, to heal us, to assist us in providing protection, warning us. THE HIGHER SELF has a big job to do.

The only problem is that we are generally unwilling to listen, to take heed, or to even ask for assistance. The HIGHER SELF's job is the HOW TO DO. It has amazing powers if only we learn how to use it and learn how to listen to it. It speaks with the SUBTLE voice (mostly) but not always, sometimes it hits us over the head to get our attention.

SO - our job is to find ways to work with the HIGHER SELF, trust the HIGHER SELF and take action upon the advice of our HIGHER SELF.

Here are some exercises in learning to speak to the HIGHER SELF. THE LANGUAGE OF THE HIGHER SELF IS IMAGINATION MORE THAN WORDS>

HOT AIR BALLON

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND RELAX. In your imagination see yourself in a beautiful field on a warm summers day.  Feel the sun shining down on your face, warming you.  Smell the beautiful fragrance of the country.
Look up at the blue sky and see white fluffy clouds floating by.  Feel the soft green grass beneath your feet.   See yellow wild flowers amongst the green grass.

So as you walk in your beautiful field, look further down in the field and see the most magnificent hot air balloon.  Can be any color or any shape you like.
 
You now begin to walk towards the hot air balloon. 
In your hands you are holding a beautiful box.  You stop and place it down on the ground and open it up.  Inside is a lovely ribbon.  Take it out. 

Now allow any problems you have to flow from you into the box.  Anything you want resolution for or you want answered.  Ask for a time frame for an answer.   1 day 2 days etc - 12 noon tomorrow.  It can be anything you need an answer for or just simply something you want to let go of(old habits, old ways of thinking, old behaviours, olf conflicts). Allow these thoughts to flow from you into the box.  When you are finished, close the lid and tie a ribbon around the box.

Pick it up and continue walking towards the hot air balloon. When you reach the balloon, gently place the box into the basket and then take a step back and untie the rope that holds the balloon down.  The rope unties easily.
 
Watch as the balloon gently floats up into the air, taken by the wind, rising up and further away from you,  up higher and higher, and further and further.  The balloon is now getting smaller and smaller, higher and  higher, until it is just a tiny dot in the sky.   Now it has disappeared.  Gone,  Released into your higher consciousness,  be on the look out for answers, whispers etc and just feel the problem released, a sense of relief, lightness.  If you have asked for a time frame to have an answer, be on the look out. The subconsciousness sometimes speaks in whispers, odd events, a song, an overheard conversation etc.
 
Take a deep breathe and let out a sigh of relief.
Open your eyes and continue your day or go to sleep ( if you are doing this exercise at night before you go to sleep). If you are having trouble sleeping due to problems, worries and stresses this is a great exercise to stop those problems. You feel that you have done your job in handing over the problems and now it is up to the HIGHER SELF to sort them out and bring the answer to you.

 

NOW - for a personal experience.

I had a friend who was sick and needed some very special advise as to the type of intervention they would need. So that night I asked the HIGHER SELF for assistance and gave the time frame by 12 noon the next day. THen as I was sitting in the doctors office waiting for them, I opened a magazine that had an article about a physic healer. That afternoon another friend mentioned this same physic healer and how wonderful they were. Then in a movie we were watching that night, there was a physic healer in that movie.

The story turns out that my friend went to this physic healer and they were healed.

So many times I use this method for answers to find something, to speak to a lost friend and find answers. I have many experiences, too many to mention but if you want more i can rattle them off.

SOMETHING I FORGOT TO MENTION - It is good to create a dictionary of symbols so the HIGHER SELF can speak to you directly and quickly.

A symbol for danger
A symbol for love
A symbol for money
A symbol for health etc.

THE HIGHER SELF LOVES SYMBOLS.

DURING DEEP HYPNOSIS SESSIONS WITH CLIENTS I CREATE IN THEIR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND A HEALING TEMPLE WHERE THEY HAVE TO OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE HIGHER SELF AND ASK QUESTIONS AND ASK FOR THE CHANGE THEY DESIRE.

[ViralSpiral]

Manny, you posed a great question and personal perplexity.

If the higher self is supposedly "non-local", driving my bus...... are my thoughts local and why would I want to/have to ask my higher self for guidance, knowledge etc.? Why not have instant access?
I acknowledge that I am a puppet to my mind ergo ego, and that there are a gazillion ways to see the bottom of a pond. When all is still...... I am the pond

[pickle]

...........what i want is for you to share your experience between you and your higherself.
what made you aware of it.
how did it communicate with you.
has it changed your life.
what are your experiences.
...................i want your personal experience,if you care to share.

Hi Manny, I’ve thought hard about replying to your thread, because I believe without exception that everyone has been at one with their ‘higher selves’ before things or events, happen to quell, or dampen the connection. My ‘higher self’ moments have been sporadic, but I think I can answer your 4 questions…

My fist day at school was one of those times, and I’ve always remembered it in Technicolor, I guess I was 5ish. My ‘friend’ (the one parents say is imaginary…) said this first day at school is the start of taking me away from where I was supposed to be, and my friend now had to leave me for a while. I knew who my friend was then, and I knew this was the first day of losing myself to something I didn’t want to be part of. Until I left school at 16, I hated every single moment of it, though it’s not until the last 15 years or so that I realise why.

At that age I think I knew my friend was ‘me’, I knew my friend gave me the signals I needed as soon as a I met someone that was good, or bad, in an instant. The same ‘me’ that grabbed my older sister and ran like hell when a guy tried to catch us when out walking (the ‘scream’ in my head wasn’t mine, this is one example of how ‘it’ communicated with me, it sounded like I do now), the same me that described to the police in minute detail what the guy looked like – I remember my mum saying “he does day dream a lot, it might not be accurate”, it was, and they caught him. I now know the description didn’t come from the ‘me’ of that age.

I started Karting (for those that don’t know, it’s a form of motorsport!) at around the age of 20. The first couple of races shocked me, then I realised what was happening. When racing, the world slowed to a crawl, I could watch every drop of rain coming off the front wheels, huge amounts of thoughts took place within tiny distances, I knew who was behind me and how far behind (Karts don’t have mirrors), the breaths I took felt like I was breathing in life.

The same thing would happen when in my workshop working on the kart and engine – when working with the metal (I tuned my own engines), I literally felt part of it, and I remember thinking that as advanced as I thought my tuning abilities were, the metal came from earth; that simple thought was shocking. I can remember being overcome and in tears once when I’d finished polishing a cylinder head, the feeling of being at peace with working with my hands was overwhelming – and now I know why, I know I was with myself, and looking back, it felt like I’d spent time with my twin brother, ‘we’ were just together.

I knew I had found a place in my head that was ‘me’, the feeling wasn’t a Eureka! Moment, it just felt incredibly comfortable, warm, peaceful, a place to disconnect myself from the outside world, a better place to be (to be honest, when these moments went, I felt incredibly homesick). I can never describe this and do it justice, but I now know if I hadn’t started Karting, I probably would have struggled to deal with what was to come later. My Dad couldn’t understand why I was wasting ‘all this money’ on something that wouldn’t ‘get me on in life’, until he came to a race and I explained that driving was like being the paint, the canvass and the artist in one.

Life moved on…. Got married and mortgaged, the happy mechanic now had no money. Left the job to become something else (no, it wasn’t banking!), earned a fortune, learnt from fellow rich work ‘mates’ all about booze, drugs, and how to completely f*** up people’s lives. This went on for….. too long, and by the time I was 40 I’d lost connection with anything and everything that matters; the love of my life, great friends, my home, and comfortably found the way to the bankruptcy court. Worst of all I lost my self respect and the ‘connection’ with ‘me’ completely.

When I thought I was really on my backside, and at my lowest time, I started having a dream that I used to have as a kid (I’d thought of asking about it in the recent dream thread). It was 3 – 4 times a week for many years, it never changed, I started trying to understand it – which I still don’t really, but I ‘know’ it’s extremely important for some reason.

Since this dream started again I’ve found times when I can ‘feel’ the person (one of a few in the dream) that is most familiar, and whilst I used to think he was like a brother, he feels like what I imagine to be my soul mate/best buddy/brother/the person I wish I had always been. All I can say is that this ‘me’ has been with me through all of the garbage, has shared my shame and bad times, and has stopped me doing the worst thing I’d contemplated through it all. [...I’ve been told off – ‘he’ isn’t a ‘he’, or a ‘she’………I suppose love doesn’t have a gender!]

I have meditated, I don’t do it like I’ve read you should, but when I do what I do that feels right for me(?). I know this ‘me’ is there to guide me, take the mickey out of me (the loving humour is something I never expected), help me go forward, and I know is trying to show me how to find the way back to loving again, maybe loving myself, I’m not sure about that bit.

So, I got my ‘friend’ back from when I was a little kid and I get to talk with ‘me’ when it’s really important (though not ‘on demand’ as some have described), I’m absolutely sure I’ve still got much more work to do, though I’ll be happier when I know what the work is exactly, I do know I haven’t found it yet.

The love I feel at the times when I manage to connect with my higher self is the most natural thing I think I’ll ever know, it just ‘is’, as existence should be. I can’t think of any other way to describe it, except that the dictionary definition of ‘love’ is inadequate.

I used to able to write, these days I can’t keep up with the thoughts in my head. Hope that all made sense.




Peace,

Pickle

i am posting this thread because many people seem to know that of the higher self.

what i want is for you to share your experience between you and your higherself.

what made you aware of it.
how did it communicate with you.
has it changed your life.
what are your experiences.


Hi Manny, good post!!
IMHO we all have a higher self. We don't know when it is communicating with us, or we just don't care to listen.

Hi everyone! my name is Robbie, and I'd like to share with Project Avalon a beautiful experience I had with my Higher Self.

What made me aware of it?

- I've had a chronic illness for many, many years, I should've died. Got so sick I couldn't work anymore. So with time on hand I
started researching the "Why Me?!!" question. "What is Karma", Is there life after Death? etc, etc.

How Did it Comminicate with Me?

- I did a lot of research over the years regarding the occult, which I believe gave me a basic grounding of how corrupt our civilisation
and governments are. Now I'm able to "see" & "feel"(spiritually) answers to compelling questions. The Higher Self works in a very very
subtle way. it re arranges gathered information(synchronizes), it discards what it believes is of no value(discernment), it fills in the gaps
of missing infomation, clues ie tv, radio, internet, or just by a simple conversation or a place which has got nothing to do with what I'm
after. The news and events of the world now reads like an open book.

Has it changed my life?

HELL YEAH!!! I am not the same person as I was before!! If I need answers, I now ask myself,.......... "what can I feel?, What
can I see?, Wait for the clues!" I am more spiritual as opposed to material. I am now able to forgive. I now see the world through
different eyes.

What are my experiences?

May 2010, I had a major operation (still getting over it). Prior to the operation the Doctors & Psychologist talked to me about the
possible side effects,"images, visions, strange feelings" being that I'd be on a lot of heavy pain killing drugs, epidural even!
(I take my hat off to woman giving birth, PAIN!!).
I had done a lot of re search, so I new exactly what could happen. Whilst I was recovering in ICU, I started having visions. This went
on for several months, lots & lots of images & lots of visions, some static some dynamic. I just had to close my eyes & the visions were
there on the inside of my eye lids( I beleive that my pineal gland opened, albeit briefly). The higher self was discarding the drug related
images(psychedelic), things moving around the room. Today the visions & images have quieted down,
but I can still see & feel(spiritually)

I beleive that one day.....the pineal gland of the entire human race will turn on....permantly.....and I want to be on this planet to wittness

[Someoneson1]

Just last night using an old meditation technique (rolling the eyes left to right on an upward angle to my breath) I found my self fall deep. My muscles had relaxed and my head was hung when I was asked "what do u want?" now I was just engaged in a "in the mean" time conversation with a friend and I was defensive when I answered. I started by saying "NOW LISTEN in the mean time while I'm still in a body I want" as I was speaking my head began to rise with the power of my intent but it was being forced to the right and away from the questioner. I realized this was my ego trying to win some battle and immediately said "if it's your will" at Wich point my head returned to the most relaxed position. I was then asked again "what do u want" and then I began asking for the dream I have been dreaming with all the splendor I could muster. Oddly my head came straight up twards the questioner and I was filled with presence and could see my request go out.

I don't know if I've explained this well as it just happened last night.

I had an experience when I first came to in 2002 that lasted 14 days where I was in full conversation with that higher authority. I was new and couldn't take that sort of communication for long and remember asking for the pressure back as I was starting to loose my mind. "the pressure u might ask was and still is present in my third eye and solar plexus. As for an explanation of how it works well.... Best I've been able to come up with is, Pressure (often mistaken for a headache) is felt on the forehead usually indicating that I'm missing something I try and stop and empty my mind to be open to receive said guidance.

I can offer many experiences but I want to convey one that is not mine. After taking with a friend about headaches and potential guidance through third eye portals. She went home and the next day she got a headache and reached for the aspirin bottle. Just then she thought wait maybee I'll try meditation.... During her meditation all she could think about was her Bo, who happened to be my roomate. So she decides to pack up the kids and come over.

Now, on my end my roomie is in a snit, you see he's trying to get a musician friend to help clean up and his frustration level is peaked. Now the girlfriend comes over with the kids and the roomie goes outside to fly kites with them and the girlfriends headache is gone. (no aspirin)

Hope this was the kind of thing you were looking for.

I wonder where the term originated ??Higher self.

I keep looking, with discernment, and all I discovered was we have an oversoul.

That is about it.
Didn't find another self, that was 'higher'.
But it works.
Wonder if there is a more right 'terminology'?
Probably best to not worry about it.....only the mind would care anyway.

¤=[Post Update]=¤

ps: someone mentioned the pineal gland. Did anyone else notice the pictures posted in that '2012 equation solved' video of the pineal gland, partially destroyed by fluoride usage?

it is on another thread...or you can just google it (those it is about 2 hours long...but worth the watch).

We are multidimensional beings, also existing at the same 'time' in higher dimensions. As multidimensional beings, we are able to experience these different realities through the exploration and cultivation of light formations within our sentient mind. Awareness is the nucleus of intelligence merged with many other elements that make up the whole of our multidimensional being.

[manny]

thanks guys for sharing your experiences and information.
just got your message pie man,been busy for the last few days.

well at the moment i keep knocking to see if the higher self is in,
but as yet there seems to be no one upstairs.
so i will just have to be patient and see what develops.
i will read the links later in the week when i get more time.
again thanks and have a good day all.

[Jayke]

What precisely are you 'knocking' on Manny?

My girlfriend found a quote from Rumi the other day that she really resonated with and had to ring me up to tell me about.
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."

Maybe it's not about knocking to see if the higher self is in but knocking to find the best part to punch a hole through...like a reservoir dam at the foot of a river, which develops a fracture... there's only so much pressure that barrier can take before all that wisdom comes gushing through and floods your mind. Keep knocking Manny, I'm guessing sooner rather than later you'll find that soft spot that cracks open the process of unravelling and floods your house from top to bottom.

Beautiful.

The Higher Self is what is left when the obstacles to knowing it are removed. ie ego.

It is not in the ego's interest for you to find the love of God.
There is only one Love and on rare occasions that flows through one to another.
Some times it stays and grows.
That fist love as a teen before one gets disillusioned, where you have only eye for the other and your whole being lights up when you see them, yes it does happen when you are older too, but the first flush of teen love is special, that love is the same essence as Higher Self has for lower self.

Hello all.
I feel that I am inside an eggshell, and that I can not break through.
It is hard to open up.
I've tried to meditate and listen to myself.
Hopefully I break through the eggshell soon.

patience and persistence.
faith.
I WILL get in touch with my higher self.

The most beautiful greetings
peter

[Lotse]

Hi Manny..
as i see you are searching your higher self..i have a few ideas..some might sound bit funny,
or just some thing you dont like..they do work for some ppl.
1st- i dont like guns at all,,,but you litterly can blow away your ego by going to a shooting hall..try a big gun and see how you feel afterwards,,
i did ninjutsu and before getting black belt all had to shoot twice...for some it was like magic..but just works a short time.
2nd -go to the Museum..with loads of paintings from the old masters..there realy enlighting.
3th-any music that brings you in Trance..Dance...also on you tube are a few sounds that bring you in aware state..but realy need to be loose for it.
4th-cant recomend but they realy dont hurt you..magic mushrooms.
5th- turning on a pottery wheel..worked for my father.
6th-at sunset watching a few mins in to the sun..every day for a few days.
7th-running,jogging...sports but realy going through your boarders.
8th-obv meditation..or just breathing technics in consiousness..concentrate bit more on breathing out,,since you got blocks to take away.
visualise that they leave in the air you breath out.
ant ppl with other suggestions?..like the skarting was a good one.
greatings,Lotse

[13th Warrior]

Upon reflection of the OP's original question I find that My first awareness of the higher self came to me in the reading of the statement:

"When the student is ready; the teacher will appear"

Since then i've been more aware of the teacher and higher learning...

[Anchor]

Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence.

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone,
'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence.

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows.
Hear my words that I might teach you,
Take my arms that I might reach you."
But my words like silent raindrops fell,
And echoed
In the wells of silence.

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made.
And the sign flashed out its warning,
In the words that it was forming.
And the sign said, the words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
Manny

This song was written in 1964, when you hear it sung (Simon And Garfunkel) it blows you away, well it did me.

I think there are a lot of messages in it, but the key relevance to this thread is the "sound of silence". In silence is where the higher voice is heard. Knocking at the door is too forceful, simply sit patiently and ask for the door to be answered, and in silence - it surely will be.

the higher self may come in different forms.
coincidence.
dreamstate.
intuition .
ideas and notions.
eureka moments.
spontaneous actions.
occasionally people hear a voice.

how sure are we that this is the higherself and not just our self.

as a biological computer we take in everything we experience.although we do not process it all.
it is all still stored somewhere deep within our brain.

eg.a car passes a person,the person catches a glimpse of it.
and remembers nothing.
under hypnosis the person may remember the colour,make and registration number.
so information is stored.

so we can increase our awareness using techniques.

but to be aware of the higherself must surely mean ,being aware of a separate entity.

who can say ..that idea,thought was not mine?

has anyone experienced information that they had no idea about,and it came true?
they could not have known anything about the information previously .

[Tigressa]

In trance (guided meditation by a Crystal Master) I had the most clear-cut vision. It was so beautiful! And I hugged myself and was embraced in my Higher Self's white wings, lol. :angel: A lovely and healing experience.
Since then I can access such visions on my own using crystals. But crystals are my thing, you might not need them.

What's lovely is that meeting Gaia, like someone here mentioned, or your HS etc. you have so much more love and appreciation for them/yourself after such an experience, it opens the door to your heart - and that door never closes again!! Gorgeous. What confidence and faith you have in yourself after that - that is the life changer for me. Knowing I can ask for help from none other than myself.

In the normal day time, sometimes I hear my higher self say something I think is not what I would like or useful. Usually, I am told this means that it is a possible life thread. It's all about choices. So if you hear yourself in a firm way thinking - 'I will have the ability to quantum jump' (or whatever) but it doesn't fit with your interests, it might just be a thread you could be good at if you followed. It doesn't mean it's not your HS or that the information is wrong. That piece of info was told to me lately and it really helped me to understand the little voices in my head!!

I will re-visit this thread and read everyone's stories, it's a nice thread, it makes me feel less alone.

[etheric underground]

its who I tune into when I wake, its who I pay gratitude when I go to sleep, its who I thank when I get nudged out of a dangerous situation.
We ar all gods and godesses in the creative all there is.
This game we call reality was our choice to experience a quick learning 3d course in all things physical and emotional.
It is but one small experience compared to our higher self, who gladly contracted there time and energy to come here
at this time of great prosperity for mother earth. As you open your already widening door of awakening it becomes more and more
consistant with our inner knowing that we are much much more than is first perceived.
Your higher self is our connection to all that is in all its manifestations, the highest idea,thought, knowing of what is possible.
I have experienced snippets of this in dream like states and meditation and there is no language conceivable to explain it...
You have to be it.

[Jayke]

but to be aware of the higherself must surely mean ,being aware of a separate entity.

who can say ..that idea,thought was not mine?

has anyone experienced information that they had no idea about,and it came true?
they could not have known anything about the information previously .

Being aware of your higher/inner self isn't like being aware of a separate entity, it's like standing over a lake and looking at your reflection in the water, as you ask yourself a question it's as though you throw a pebble in the lake, it causes ripples and waves and the images become distorted then as the water begins to settle (as your conscious mind returns to stillness) the image changes from the reflection of you into an image that reveals an answer...maybe it doesn't answer right away but sooner or later an image will pop into your awareness that gives you a clue, gives you an insight into what it was you were thinking about.

Where the higher aspect of self really works its magic though IMO is when it sets up synchronicities for us to experience, I remember once a few years ago I was feeling really stuck with my spiritual development, I'd hit a rut, couldn't seem to move past where I was at, where I was at was great but I couldn't seem to push myself to the next breakthrough, couldn't seem to unravel the next layer of the onion, like being stranded on a dessert island with nothing to do and noone to talk to and it was making me feel really depressed, really lonely...all I wanted to do was talk to someone about my experiences but there was noone in my reality at the time who could understand what I was going through...so anyway one day during my depression my girlfriend decided to drag me out to the shops to cheer me up and she's busy looking in all the clothes shops, buying her makeup, taking us to get something to eat...then just as I thought we were about to head home we started walking past a book shop, my girlfriend never reads and never really goes in book shops but this time she said 'oh lets just go in here a minute, have a quick look around', 'for what?' lol i laughed to myself 'the last time you read a book was in school'...so we went in anyway and as she was looking around the shelves I was drawn to the spirituality section and in particular was drawn to a book by deepak chopra, I picked it up, looked at the cover, looked at the back and decided to have a flick through...I opened the book randomly somewhere about a third of the way through and in my astonishment the first sentence that my eyes focused upon were exactly the right words I needed to hear to get me to keep on moving, to get me to jump out of my rut and start peeling those layers of the onion again.

It said 'in order to move past stuck situations in life, we have to raise our vibration, as our vibration changes on the inside, the things we resonate with on the outside begin to change and as a result lifes experiences begin to change with it.' As a result of that synchronised experience it opened the door for me to start learning all the esoteric arts of vibration raising: yoga, sacred chanting, vegetarian diet, tai chi, martial arts, meditation etc. That one event led me to begin experiencing reality in a new way. And as i started doing those vibration raising exercises my inner world began to change for the better and my outer world improved right along with it.

I haven't experienced any psychic visions where you're given information about the future which later come true but there has been research done on dejavu, which suggest that the experience of dejavu is when you remember a dream from your past, which was a dream about something you did in the future. It's when past and future memory meet in the here and now some people believe. entering your higher self in the dream state and swimming out into the future to watch a quick glimpse of what might be unfolding.

[greybeard]

I can only speak for myself.
After a very difficult period thirty five years ago I wanted to contact my Higher Self for the best possible reasons, after some time, using meditation and prayer, this voice spoke in my head-- not mine-- it said "Welcome home" and other very reassuring things, thankfully I had enough sense to know the compliments were not founded on my reality.
I let it go and surrendered each day to the God of my understanding and still do.
I had also tried automatic writing which at first seemed a valid way to go then unhealthy suggestions appeared.
The lower astral looks for naive souls to influence.

As said already on this thread the much needed guidance came by synchronism, coincidences, other people.

If at first I ignored the synchronism it would come back through some one else or a different learning event till I got it.
Anything I need to know in this world will come through this world.
Prayer and meditation are of this world too.
I ask and I receive where appropriate and helpful to my spiritual well being.
Higher Self is your true Self when all else is removed, it is not separate from you.

Chris

[Beren]

Simply put ,higher self is God, is Creator. In this 3D we are experiencing life separated from Creator (that we do think),when in fact we can never be separated from God for we are of it. When I talk with God I talk to the highest person in existence-the very existence itself. And what is marvelously beautiful is the realization that God is me in my true and highest form and that I am never parted and in fact I can not be. Illusion here and now makes you think that you are separated and that is ok for the sake of expereince. Problem rises when you identify with the illusion and thus suffer. Hence God is always reminding us by all means imaginable to remember who we are ,who I am.

I had always had the contact from HS. though at times I didn't understand that it was it. Until time passed and I realized that you have to use your ears to listen and eyes to see...

:P
