The self and flow

By Jameel Hodges IIPublished 3 years ago 2 min read

The self is your law and manifest of reality.

Self is the being that brings your intangibles into tangible form. The master of duality. To be in the self is to retreat into your knowns and unknowns.

Your intangibles are you innate qualities that’s make you who you are. They are your guides and gifts to others when you feel as though they are recognized.

Self is the one who gathers and seeks experience, knowledge, understanding, life,love etc.

You’re relationship with yourself is based on your relationship to desire. Desire in itself is not wrong or right it is simply apart of being human and having a healthy active life. Your relationship with your desires will determine the overall health of the “Self.”

Self or in its lesser form “Ego” is simply the one who seeks identify. The infinite questioner.

Who am I? Why am I? What am I?

Rather than take these questions and leave them unanswered. Sit with them and let them guide you through the act of seeking out & beyond what you’ve known.

As you experience the goal is to allow the self to move naturally through each phase as it gains understanding. Expression is the apex of self. Only when it lacks authenticity is it unfulfilled. Remember to answer the question by your choice of action.

Self knowing is understanding what must be done in order to realize the truth of one’s nature.

Self expression is the space we enter when we are completely ourselves. For some it’s heavenly glory, others it’s darkness, and most is the flame of self discovery. Until you’ve claimed your “self” and have a realm of your own you dance in the spaces provided those who’ve self actualized. Self acceptance is acknowledging of one’s own being as it is and for what it is. Peeling back the layers of what is and taking in what is shown rather good or bad. Self consciousness is the hearing of one’s own extra sensory bodies. The ones who ensure your protection not from danger outside but from the danger you’re willing allow into your life. It protects you from you. Self truth is the subjective experience atop the objective reality. The personal lessons that are for your own development and nobody else.

Self will is the most powerful thing in the sources arsenal. “Why,” is the question of all things. Here we are. When a “why” is chosen the self reveals its true power. Self love is the honoring of one’s existence amidst all other things that exist in the totality of reality or other wise known as wholenesses. Self awareness is allowing the self to be still and to take in the life lived and it’s lessons. Self discipline is the land of observation, a mountain of small tasks that prove to your own awareness, your level of seriousness in action. Your commitment to your endeavors is always weighed by the boxes left unchecked.

Flow into self and realize that it is the one who’s does and does not; Is and is not; will and will not. Thus you have experience and can come to know the moment, then understand the happenings of life.
