Me and My Interface Humanity’s biggest problem, especially at the individual level, is our over-identification with the three lower bodies, and the personality. We all have within us a source of being. This has been called many things, ranging from God, the Christ Consciousness, the I Am, the Buddha Mind, the higher self. These, and all of the other terms, are attempts to express in words the animating force behind all of existence. Of course, words are inadequate to express what I speak of now, but words are all we have to describe what can only be experienced. Our identification with the bodies and the personality obscures our awareness of source and results in the seeming random chaos of our lives. The band of frequencies that we vibrate on can be divided many ways. One of the simplest is to see us as having what can be seen as the three lower bodies, physical, emotional and mental. Very simply, the physical is that which appears solid and vibrates to physical stimuli. The emotional body is that which vibrates whenever we experience the ripples and waves and sometimes tropical storms of emotionality. The mental body is then, of course, that part of us that vibrates whenever thought occurs. In our unawareness of source, the activity of these bodies, along with our experiences in the world, combine into these personalities that we each have. These are meant to be vehicles for expression of the joy of being. We have all struggled with our personalities. Some have cobbled together relatively successful ones while others have but a tenuous hold. I continue to struggle with my own. I am not always happy with some of the ways I relate to others, and some of my physical, emotional and mental habits are not pretty. As I strip away chunks of personality that no longer, and in some cases never did, serve, I find new layers that need work, but progress is made. By differentiating the three bodies, first from each other and then from source—that which we really are—we take strong steps in the right direction. By finding source in the silence and identifying with our real selves, we make a great deal more progress. These simple steps will change your life. But personality will still remain through the process even as it is refined. Personality is the interface between real self and the world. We need a personality to interact with others. We just need to know who we really are in relation to it and to be in some measure in charge of our personality rather than enslaved by it. The world of strife and struggle is all personality and the three lower bodies. To the extent to which we identify with source, we find the truth that sets us free. |
