The Term ‘Higher Self’ Is A Misnomer

There is no ‘higher self’, but there is a lower self – the one we walk around with.
The term ‘higher self’ is used by those who think our true reality is a mystery, up in heaven. 🙂

There is consciousness; that is what we are. It’s here right now, and quite ordinary. It’s so ordinary that we give it no credibility, no value, ignoring it as we’re too busy trying to impress others’ self.

What is self? Self is a figment of imagination. Self is an attachment to ideas to which consciousness mistakenly clings. Self is lower, because it downgrades consciousness to mere concepts. When we stop the inner and outer chatter of identifying with a self – our routine act – we are just consciousness.

Sit in silence and see.

Is there a higher consciousness? No, not really. When we (consciousness) come to a complete stand still, silent in mind and just aware, consciousness is revealed as pure, empty cognisance. That is our normal.

This thing we call ‘me/myself/I’ is a figment of imagination. In fact, it’s a contrivance of others’ imagination that we have adopted 🙂 This is observable in every chattering conversation.

Vagueness is irrational confusion in the mind.
Pure consciousness is practical as it sees clearly.
