We do not need to connect with the essential true Self inside, we just need to allow ourselves to be it...
There is a vibration that resonates your true essential self when you are not interfering or interupting.

Serendipity...serendipity...serendipity...ahh...serendipity...
Yesterday, I wrote about the realization I had that we have to change our spiritual process. Instead of peeling the onion of false selves away from the outer layers to get at the core, the True Self, we as these outer layers we identify as need to let the True Self simply emerge from the center of who we are. We as bodies and psyches= "little mes", need to step out of the way and stop interfering with consciousness attempting to do Its thing.
So that was on my mind as I was flicking through the Youtube channels looking for something positive to watch before going off to bed. I was visualizing Self/ Soul/ Atman in the middle of a circle with body, mind, and energy at the periphery of that circle.
Then I came across an Andre Duqum podcast with Dr. Sue Morter as the guest. Within a few minutes I was standing on my feet shouting "Yes! Yes! That is what I'm talking about!!!"
I have never heard of this woman prior to that podcast but everything she said resonated in the deepest core of me. What she said touched not only my intellectual mind, but also that mind beyond the mind.
What did she say?
Her work is in bioenergy, teaching how to utilize and move the energy in the body that is meant to flow through us but so often is blocked from doing so, causing us to lead unfilling lives.
Huh?
From what I understand...
It is like we (a Mind, Body, Soul Combo) plop down into this incarnation with a big splat. (Like the circle I was envisioning but in a messy form. Ironically, "splat" was also a word I added to my EAL presentation yesterday and I had been repeating it over and over again because I liked the sound of it.) Mind and body, flow out from the center of who we are. They pool and stay on the outer periphery of that big splat...trying to make sense of the external world they are seeping into. The senses pick up the info from the outside world and the mind attempts to make sense of it. Soul stays in the center.
Consciousness or Sat Chit Ananda...the amazing light energy we are, waits to find the opportune time to come down into the soul to manifest through us. This omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient energy is meant to come in from the top of the head...pour in all the way down to where we are now rooted in the earth...and then rise up and out of us like a fountain into the world, thusly impacting everything around us.
Why don't we experience this blissful consciousness?
Our awareness, as we focus on mind and body in the periphery, is stuck in survival mode. The external world we are touching and picking up with our senses is so threatening and we are busy trying to figure it all out. Safety and survival become the priority. The mind needs 'certainty' in order to focus its forces...even if it is certain of something terrible...As long as it is certain about something it feels secure. So perception is colored, often negatively. We close to much of it and only take in a tiny bit of the data we have the capability of experiencing. We get stuck here and become identified with the body and mind in this surival mode as being who we are. It is "so in our face", it is all we see and 'know' at the intellectual level. We forget that there is a soul in the center of this splat...we lose contact with our true essential Self.
Intellectually, after so much time suffering in this mind, body, survival mode...we may decide to leave the periphery and go deeper in to this splat to discover its Center. When we leave from here we bring our dependency on sensory input with us, we drag along our egos and our psyches-our limiting self concepts. We bring along our attachment to the external world...our desires and our aversions. We bring along this habitual need we developed to "do" and "fix". What we do, then, is get in the way of the natural flow of this divine energy. We interupt and interfere, preventing it from naturally cleansing all that is in Its way and just coming through us .
We ...as a self concept...as an overidentification with body and mind...need to get out of the way with our interuptions and interferences. We need to allow the soul and what it is inputing from universal consciousness to just flow through us and into the world. Not just for our sake but for the entire world's.
Consciousness is an energy that is the foundation of the entire world.
Looks like I will be buying another book. I still use my intellectual mind to take me to the Vijnanamaya kosha in hope that it will help me to transcend even that. Maybe if these teachings help to unlock me, it will be the last book I will need. :)
All is well.
