real self

Hi Friends,

I have this book, which is published in 1922. Of course the edition I have now is the 2004 edition, but it doesn't really matter. It is rather confusing, so to speak, and after reading it I still wasn't sure what it was talking about. I guess I wasn't totally ready for it yet.

However, after I have thought about it, I think I understand a part, this part, which I am going to share with you.

Who are you---Really? Your Soul? What is it?

You are a infinite powerful being. You have a body to exist in this world. In this body, you are either male or female. So if you are male, you will naturally be attracted to females and vice-versa. But your soul-- it isn't male or female.

Jesus once clarified this when a person asked him what happens to marriages in heaven...and he replied that the person didn't really understand what was heaven, because we are no longer attached in heaven. Similarly, so do the Buddhists know that they actually shouldn't be attached to anything, because all urges or sexual urges come from this body, not from your soul.

I'll give another example to clarify this. Some people have Multiple Personality Disorder. These people can have different personalities. And some personalities may have different genders. Are you saying then that there are multiple souls trapped in one body? No!

In fact, your personality, isn't your REAL SELF, it ISN'T your SOUL. Think about it. Your personality can change, your interests, liking can change. Does that mean you are a different person? No, you are still whoever you are.

So similarly you aren't your physical body, because your physical body can change. Hence, you are, really, neither Male nor Female.

A person, who has reached enlightenment, will naturally have mastered his Real Self. He/She has let go of all his urges, he/she is neither male or female. He/She is neither 90 nor 10. He/She is just an expression of his/her soul, the Real Soul.

You see, the problem is, many people are straying away from their Real Soul. Who they really are. When you indulge in many different unhealthy activities, you are actually lowering your vibrations. In fact, I think demons are just people who have permanently strayed from their real soul. Angels are just those who have achieved and stripped away every single false layer, revealing their true souls of light.

We are all programmed to know our real soul. We have a conscience. We feel good when we do good. When we stray from our real soul, we feel bad. And some people who have strayed too far have lost their link with their soul, and they lose their conscience as well.

But once you can tell who you really are, then, you will have endless light (energy) at your disposal, to create what you truly desire and fufil your purpose.
