The human self and the Divine self

So far, we have had only certainty to be our minds and our personalities. It could not be
different, because we were not awake. People talked to us about our Spirits, our Souls,
but none of that could mean anything, as we were not capable of feeling this presence.
Soul and Spirit are abstract concepts and, without the perception of this presence, very
little can be done, unless faith is put into use.

However, our Spirit, Soul, and Conscience are our true self: the conscience of God
individualized. This conscience is made to the image and similitude of God, not to the
mortal human being. Our body and our personality are just the carnal manifestation of
this conscience on Earth. What you see on the mirror is your condensed cosmic mind;
your history in this life; your personality constructed according to your culture and
education.

Our egos and personalities have acted on their own, without the leadership of the Spirit
and lives and bodies are the results of this separation. They reflect the maximum our
human minds were capable of doing by itself.

Poor mind! It is not its function to govern our lives, but as there was nothing else in-
charge, it started taking over and it could not have done differently.

However, as brilliant as our human mind may be, it is only a tool of God’s Conscience,
of the Being that we really are.

We have to understand who we really are and who we refer to, when we say I AM. Our
human mind, which has bravely fought up to here, must open space for the true Self to
assume and this is what we call Illumination, Salvation.

If we were born with all the powers of the Spirit, we would never have acquired the
awareness of our individual Self. We would be just a unique mind: the perfect and
divine mind which is God. But, I think that this was not the plan of God. In my humble
reasoning, God creates and, in doing so, He expands himself. Nevertheless, each one
of his children is autonomous, and so it should, because He has created them to HIS
own image and similitude. Therefore, He, patiently, expects all and each one to wake
up to whatever they truly are. There is no hurry… Eternity is all there is!

On this search for Illumination, being born again is a must: Dieing for the mortal human
being and being born for the Immortal and Divine Spirit.

In this process of awareness of the Divine Self, there will be many times when you will
become aware of your personality, your ego, fighting each other for the control of your
life. This is often motivated by fear. It is natural. Do not think that your human mind,
which had control over everything, feels at ease in delivering the command of an
“existence” about which it, the mind, knows very little, has never seen and does not
know if it truly exists.

Daily meditations are, therefore, fundamental to this process of delegating the authority
to our Higher Self. Only by feeling the presence of God in your meditations will you
acquire the conviction of our true potential. Thence, there comes the confidence and
the realization of the harmonious action of His divine conscience on your carnal
subjects: love, health, work, family, safety.

God does not expect you to deliver yourself to a blind belief. He is available here and
now, so that you may have the experience of His presence. He knows that, the
moment you feel this Presence, you will not be able to, ever, doubt that He exists and
you will be able to say with plain conviction that “God and I are One”.
