Our ego-personality is the 'Outer-Self'; while Consciousness/ Spirit is the 'Inner-Self'.......The Residing Deity!
When we use expressions like 'Higher'-self, we automatically condemn a part of our 'self' to be the 'Lower'-self! and since we humans dwell in duality and judgment; one part of our 'self' becomes better (holier) than the other.
So much so, that we begin to (and continue to) 'glorify/ deify' one part at the cost of the other; and conversely, 'vilify' (make villain out of) the other part!
Can you imagine the plight of the part being vilified? Can you imagine the 'holier-than-thou' attitude of the one being glorified?
Do you see this game being played in all areas of our life? We glorify/ vilify professions/ inclinations/ institutions/ talents/ tendencies/ opinions/ complexions/ looks/ races/sexes/ animals/ flowers/ plants/ people/ parts of our own personality etc. etc. etc.
What if we stop playing this game? What if we start treating everyone as equal?
Can we begin with ourselves? Can we stop vilifying our ego-personality? Can we stop glorifying our Higher Self? Can we accord them equal status?
If we can do that, we can create Heaven on Earth...........♥
