Is anyone else confused about, Higher Self, Knowing Self, Jesus Awareness, God Self....Oh my god. I don't know about you all but this stuff is so complicated how is one to find inner peace when most spiritual newagey people are so in there heads. Have you heard them talk about this? OMG! I just fall asleep when they go about explaining what's higher and what's lower self and Jesus or God Consiscouness WTF!?
I don't know when it happened but western spiritual culture at some point in there enlightened awakening made a huge Left and disconnected from there bodies, right into there heads. Well not me. Is it me or do most New Agers seem to all appear to be recovering catholics, or survialists of chrisianity (not going to win any popularity contests for saying that) and make everything about spirit in what they know from.....CHURCH. Exibit A "Christ Consciouness" And as soon as they get in a postion of New Ager power ie: leaders of Talking Circle, or Yoga Groups or dare I say it make everything into some sort of God, Jesus reference WTF. They suddenly create Priest qualities. Ie: If you want to know anything about spirit ask me because I am the door way to....Your higher self. Hello...really!? Then they proceed to complicate a simple process into a mind bloggaling diatribe of the ins and outs of Christ Cousiness and Your Higher Self. LOL. Crazy?..Hell yeah.
In my humble opinion...Higher Self turns into mind numbing, soul sucking separation. The Head takes off into the stratosphere, leaving the rest of the body to the human experience. Which goes into ego, that goes into most folks thinking they're are some sort of Ascended Master. Really.
So okay Duende, Mister Smarty Pants what do you listen too, when struck with a deep ethral question?
My go to is this: Your heart.
Duende is that it?
Yep. Don't not separate you Body, mind and Soul. And your soul is Aka: Your heart. Simply put, its the best thing to follow and it doesn't get intellucally complicated where you figure you need a PHD to understand it.
If you don't believe me, then go ahead and listen to the New enlightened Agers...most are in there HEAD. Why? Cause if they can complicate it so much that you're having trouble with the concepts they've complicated then ultimately you'll...follow them. Does this sound like...Church Cult Mentallity. Hell yah. (I am so, not going to be popular lol)
Step 1 look at your shit and deal with it. Which is easier said then done.
Step 2 The heart will never lie, so are you ready to hear and follow your truth.
Step 3 Listening to inner guidance is not complicated and if it is, don't follow it, because then you'll go right into your head and...separte from...you guess it, separation of life the universe and everything.
My Uncle was a prime example of that. He could complicate the simplist concepts into PhD material when its ultimately "Childs Play". Here's a basic rule, if a 5 year old can't get it then it ain't worth listening to hours of "Verbal Diarehia".
Follow Your Heart. That's the answer to understanding what, where, how and why to the Universal Questions or to following your own path. Wether it be God, Jahovah, Buddha, Alah, Creator, Great Spirit, Geometrics, or the Grand Nothingness of Being of Atheisist. Whatever floats your boat.
But most of all through your journey, my best advice is get outta your head, and spot trying to figure out what's higher or lower or inner self. Its messed up and will fuck with your head.
Simply put....Follow your Heart. It'll never steer you wrong.
And side note...Its been scienctically proven that your Heart has as many brain cells as your Brain!
PS. When in doubt, children have got this down, look to them for guidance. Watch them play and know the universe.
