If the Higher Self has no purpose, what was it ever there for in the first place? That it surely is there implies there is a purpose, one that perhaps one's Selfness would rather not know. The answer might be too much of a threat.<br /><br />As to your next question about whether this lifetime is serving the true being, I can only suggest that, from what you have posted, your lifetime is certainly doing so. And that is probably its goal. Life forever seeks, and in finding it achieves its goal.<br /><br />As to whether all will be revealed in an ultimate AHA! moment, I'm quite happy to defer that pleasure for a while!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683318922990064067.post-44000465198621135212013-10-18T14:26:13.549+02:002013-10-18T14:26:13.549+02:00And the burning question of selfness is "does...And the burning question of selfness is "does my higher self, all that energy that is the true essence of 'me' have a purpose? Does (did) this lifetime serve the true being in some way? I'd like to think it does, but there is the self-importance again.<br /><br />At the moment of this particular version of me, was there a goal of some sort (any sort)? <br /><br />At that other extreme, is all revealed in an ultimate AHA! moment?

As I have said previously, if at rock bottom we are energy in some form, energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683318922990064067.post-91777559859427277702013-10-18T14:09:18.346+02:002013-10-18T14:09:18.346+02:00Playing a mind game with that self-ness is difficu...Playing a mind game with that self-ness is difficult for it does assume a power out of all proportion (God-like indeed!).<br />Two of mine are, "earliest memory" and "moment of death". The reaction my conscious, controlling mind has to those has been interesting and points to a purpose beyond this lifetime.<br /><br />Hallehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03847654451426257182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683318922990064067.post-35172834227186531362013-10-18T12:16:06.530+02:002013-10-18T12:16:06.530+02:00Susan; Thank you for your, once again, supportive...Susan; Thank you for your, once again, supportive comment. I understand your use of the word 'transcendence' in this context. I am already beginning to find a certain freedom in my writing as and when it feels right to do so. Also, although I will continue to write as well as possible, there are other more important considerations than totally correct syntax and punctuation. This is a 'growingly' exciting time for me.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683318922990064067.post-53775968554133203022013-10-18T04:43:58.183+02:002013-10-18T04:43:58.183+02:00I think you are wise in your effort of delineating...I think you are wise in your effort of delineating the deeper parts of your psyche to see that as the work itself. Using the struggle as raw material for fueling the process of self exploration you are gaining ground in an honest self-assessment and, hopefully, that transcendence you seek. Of course, I'm not entirely sure transcendence is the right word but for now I'll use it as the term that comes closest to that old admonition, 'Know thyself'.<br /><br />I feel odd writing about this subject since I found myself in great difficulty doing the kind of self-searching you describe. I'm still searching too but in recent years I've turned toward simply quieting my mind during meditation, and praying for a return to quietude when I wander off track. <br /><br />I'm glad you're back to writing when the mood strikes you. I find it very helpful to read your thoughts on this vitally important subject.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.com
