True Self vs. Notself
I think this where the Seret Beliefs conversation can serve. 🤔
Looking at maybe Sunday and/or Monday - midday Eastern US time.
Still waiting for energy to spread the word a bit. But we can still begin perhaps 🤗
Interested?
“Self is your true behavioral nature that emerges without resistance into the world.
Not-Self is a conditioned programming overlaid upon your true Self.
The moment Not-Self behavior emerges into the world it meets resistance and goes on meeting resistance.
Your Not-Self is created by your upbringing, your society, your parents, peers and the world in general.
Be clear that when you look at your Rave chart the open centers are not to be confused with your Not-Self.
In and of themselves they are innocent parts of your nature that are the most vulnerable to conditioning.
Because they are your true gifts, they can also easily become your wounds.
The Not-Self is a dysfunctioning of ALL your centers.
The white ones are trained to behave as if they were colored in and the colored ones are where we meet the resistance from trying to live what we are not.
You can only really meet resistance where you are fixed.
For example, you may have an undefined Throat center and a defined emotional center. You try to attract attention because that is the Not-Self strategy of an undefined throat, but you meet the resistance in your emotions because that is where you are fixed.
When you first begin to become aware of your Not-Self, you slowly become aware of your True Self hiding behind it.
All you need is patience, in order to see every possible variation of your Not-Self and the resistance it goes on meeting again and again.
The more clearly you can see your Not-Self (and it is uncomfortable) the more clearly you can see your True Self.
In simply seeing the Not-Self, the programming loosens its grip.
After seven years, very little of the Not-Self programming remains and you are left as you were intended be.
Remember that the Not-Self itself is still there, it is the programming (conditioning) of the Not-Self that has fallen away.
When this happens you live from your true self; simply surrendered to life as it moves through you, making its own choices whilst you stand by the side watching the process.”
