When you start to describe yourself, how do you do it?  There are many descriptive words that the majority seem to use in basic intros.  Words like male or female, short or tall seem to start off the description and then some will begin to go deeper and begin to define aspects of themselves with things like married, single, children, mother, father, pieces of what we outwardly appear to be.  This works when dealing in social situations, but have you ever really wondered what comprises the self?  Many may be thinking or saying…our experiences.  Sure our experiences help to mold us into who we are, but have you ever really stopped and wondered why you deal with something one way and someone else deals with it another?  We all handle situations and experiences differently some of it from lessons we have already learned, sure…but there has to be more to it.  I believe that there is more…

I believe that there are actually four primary components that make up the self.  Each one of them bringing a wealth of their own ingredients helping to really customize our personal recipe of who we are.  Check them out and let me know your thoughts!

Spirit
Ego
Love
Forgiveness

What makes up the self? Rather a funny word all on its own don’t you think?  Self…The self… Selfless.  When we use the word we instinctively know we are talking about us..ourselves but have you really thought about what that is?

We are all made up of a divine light, love and energetic matter.  But are we not so much more?  We have to be, to be as complicated as we are.  I believe the Self consists of 4 basic parts; Spirit, Ego, Love and Forgiveness.  It is a beautiful idea really.  Each of these parts are unique to us and how we give and receive, how we react and how we express ourselves.  They help express us and at times define us.  The amazing thing is that each of these areas are ever changing.

Spirit: Such a big word.  Beautiful bright spirit, it is what we all are when all is stripped away.  It is what we enter this world with and what we leave with.  To be human however means we are more than just spirit.  We have to incorporate additional energetic bodies into our physical form to even exist. We are an Energetic Body, Physical Body, Mental Body and an Emotional Body to name a few.  What that means is that we bring many different aspects together to form the self.

Ego:  This word gets probably the worst rap.  Ego somewhere along the line has taken on a negative only role in the human form.  Being considered or known as egotistical is negative yes, but like anything in extremes it can be bad. We need the ego, it is needed in this lifetime.  Our human self needs the ego as part of our equation to self.  It is an integral part of helping to create the self.  It brings to the self drive, inspiration and goals. It also imparts action into the plan.

Love: I like to look at it as the binding agent of the self.  It holds us together, keeps us centered and connected to all the aspects of who we are, the self. It allows us to see the good in others.  It inspires us to share and create bonds and connections both inwardly and outwardly.  Love is the essential ingredient in the passion that sparks the flame of growth in our life.

Forgiveness: For some this may seem like an odd ingredient to the self.  But if you look deeper you will understand.  Forgiveness is a key part of the self, without it we could not forgive our mistakes (which there are many) we may make. It allows us to forgive others. It is what reminds us that we are human.  With forgiveness as part of the self we are able to incorporate Spirit, Ego, Love.  We are able to grow.  Forgiveness will take on many different roles in the self at different stages of our development, with out it we would not survive.

There you have it, my take of the 4 parts/ components of the self.  Take a few minutes today and think about what you would be like with out one of the four.  Do you appreciate all the parts that make you…you?  I know that we are tall the above…as well as so much more, we are infinite beings with multiple aspect of the self.  think though, what would you be with out one of the four listed above.

Namaste~

I have noticed lately that I have become an observer of sorts within my own life.  Watching, listening and at times participating.  This seems to be such a new and unfamiliar time for so many of us.  This time of transformation.  We seem to be living in the moments before something happens.

Time moving forward at the same speed it has always moved, and yet I feel slightly disconnected with the flow.  This is not necessarily a bad thing…but most certainly different than the regular hustle and bustle I have been accustom to.

Since everything is a form of energy and energy is constantly moving…I believe this sense of disconnect is really a collective energetic shift. We have just gone from Spring to Summer with the Summer solstice.  This shift in our seasons affects us, we have also just experienced the longest day of the year, this seasonal planetary alignment definitely brings new energy and a new and different energetic pull to our daily lives.  This alone can cause pause in our daily routines, emotions as well as our focus both internal and external.  For many there is an increase in activity or motivation.  The sun has a way of propelling us forward.

However there is more to it for me as well as the countless of others out there feeling it. I am different.  My energy is different.  It nearly feels as if a reset button has been hit. A button that clears all customized programming, and allows one to come back to factory reset (so to speak).  Normally I would not say a factory program would be a good thing, sounds so sterile and generic.  Who doesn’t like customizing let’s say your phone or computer to fit what you like and how you use it. But what if the programming wasn’t done with what you like or how you want to use it.  What if all the programming is based on external experiences and reactions.  What if you were not the one doing the programming?  Then a reset is rather nice, wouldn’t you say?

Everything feels blank…but in a good way. Like a clean slate.   There are less reactive responses…triggers so to speak, and more acceptance to what is.  It feels as if it is the beginning of a new creation.  Time to create what you truly want versus what you once thought you wanted.  When conditioning and programming is removed or “thinned” out we are able to readjust and find our true north.  We are able to remember who we were born to be.  Not just who we became.  There is so much more then what we ever thought there was.  There is room for all of it.  Each experience is valued and cherished for what we have learned and what we have realized or awaken within ourselves.  Everything is released…yet nothing is forgotten.

When this release begins to happen, we feel different, changed, lighter.  With these emotional changes we also begin to see and feel physical changes. The more we release the higher we vibrate.  It makes sense really…we are physical beings.  We (like all energies) vibrate, but our mass is such that our ability to vibrate at the same speed and sound as spirit is next to impossible given our physical form.  Add to our physical density any and all energies we pull into or hold on to in our physical space, begins to weighs us down.  When we begin to let go of that energy or energies that are not ours or no longer serve us we allow ourselves to increase our vibration.  Back to the speed at which we were born vibrating at. This experience I believe can be felt as a symptom or ailment.  We may feel dizzy or light headed, or just off as well as unbalanced.

How many of you have just felt…under the weather, ill but not really sick?  I believe this has a lot to do with our personal vibration ( think of the “string” theory).

In this time of readjustment to the “reset” , I believe we will experience many things. Some of which will be times of confusion, peace, intense emotions, even a sense of detachment.  Or that feeling as though you are all alone and don’t “fit” in any specific group or category.  Hold strong as this is just a time of readjustment.

It is a time of finding personal balance within your four bodies.  Your spirit body, your physical body, emotional body and your mental body.  You get to customize your program based on your experiences only, not the programs created out of guilt or obligation that were imposed upon you. The key in this lifetime is finding a balance that is right for you.  There is no one size fits all.  There is no possible way for there to be. We are all unique.

So when you catch yourself on the outside looking in…take notes.  It could be a sign that your awakening to the real you.  A sign that your reset button has been pushed and you are assessing what you see.  It is in these moments…the moment before the big event, that we able to assessing where and who we really are.  Enjoy the moments…all of them.

Namaste~
