How to Accept Your Own and Be Your Self! Part Deuce
Tuesday, November 16th, 2010
“To accept your own is also a guidance to accept that which you have created, accept your responsibilities. It is in essence a directive to claim all of who your are- the good, the bad and the ugly.”
The above is the essence of my previous post. Claiming and taking ownership of the results of our actions is a crucial step in being Oneself.
Your Oneself is already perfect. Your Oneself is just and true and there is no unrighteousness in your Oneself. But there is a false self that we have learned from birth. This false self is “who we think we are.” The I.
What’s in a name?
Even when we take on the label of being conscious, righteous, saved, god, muslim, christian, hebrew, buddist, khemetic, moor, spiritual, etc., if the false self has not been subordinated, we are simply changing mask.
As it is in heaven, so shall it be on earth.
Our inability to unite around one common cause is due to our inability to unite and integrate the many selves within. Our outer condition is but a reflection of our inner conditioning. We are inwardly divided and expect to be outwardly united.
We are focused on changing the world and have devoted little effort to the most effective and greatest of changes, the movement from i self – to own self – to Oneself.
The death of the ego, is the life of the group.
self- O.E. self, seolf, sylf “one’s own person, same,” from P.Gmc.*selbaz (cf. O.N. sjalfr, O.Fris. self, Du. Zelf, O.H.G. selb, Ger. Selbst, Goth. silba), P.Gmc. *selbaz, from PIE *sel-bho-, from base *s(w)e-”separate, apart”
The i self is a consciousness of separateness. It specializes in perceiving division. The i self is blinded by the light of the common cause behind the separate effects. The unity behind the multiplicity.
The i self thinks that it is the judge of good and evil. This tendency results in the rejection of other parts of self that don’t meet it’s learned, fear based criteria of right/wrong. It in essence ignores the the experiences, thoughts, memories, ideas and possibilities that don’t agree with it’s present model of reality.
In it’s ignorance, the i self confuses the map with the territory and can only lead you in the wrong direction. For in the real world, the territory is always changing.
The lessons are a blessing
The lessons that lead to uniting the diverse parts into a unified whole are locked within the rejected stones of past errors. The elitist consciousness of the i self will not grow until it embraces the entire “Community of Self.” There is a lesson on the lips of the preacher and the pimp, the nurse and the witch, the trauma, the victory, the dream and the snitch.
Here are further exorcises to locate and reintegrate the fractured and rejected inner teachers of your soul.
- Begin to keep a journal of your dreams. The M.I.A. members of your inner army often make their appearance here, when the I self is incapable of shock blocking.
- Take note of comments, situations, people that make you uncomfortable and especially those that evoke an outburst of anger, fear, confusion, depression or any extreme emotion.
- What, who, when, where do you forget? What are the things that seem to always “slip your mind”? Start taking note of the Lost members of your inner tribe. Allow them to find their proper place in your psychic flock.
There are jewels in the above exorcises. Use them to reclaim your abandoned offspring. The family that stays together, rises together.
Rise and Shine.
