Love Your Self … Really

Self is a good story.

Our self is an illusion, a collection of incomplete ideas acquired in the mind which cause confusion. Self is a fantasy, a mistaken gross existence in which consciousness has been led to believe.

This is not what we are, but once it is recognised, self’s confusion can now become our path to show us (consciousness) our clinging to mistaken ideas.

The most profound secret is that this is our karmic self, our personal teacher. It holds all the clues to regaining sanity on the path to enlightenment. When we let go of the ingredients that hold self together, all that is left is empty cognisance which has the quality of understanding, and therefore, compassion.
