My Human Revolution

Have you ever thought, What is your true self? The Real self theory in politics and philosophy proposes that people often have a private “real will” (or real self), that is different from their public “expressed will”. We live in a social set up and most of the times in our life we are reacting. There are very few times when we really act.

What so ever our ambitions are we are governed by our conviction which is a combination of our brain and heart in other words our thoughts and our desires. Desires have no end and all of us have so many desires but the real desires are the ones which we see getting executed in our lives.

When we are at work or with our fellows our real desires gets diluted and when we come back to our super consciousness we again realize them. The point lies in that our z The mystical heart of the world’s religions is the identity of the true Self. The understanding of the Self is the most important insight that any individual can have in life.

When the person has to comply with external rules, such as being polite or otherwise following social codes, then a false self is used. The false self constantly seeks to anticipate demands of others in order to maintain the relationship. There is true self that has a sense of integrity, of connected wholeness that harks to the early stage.

In early development, the false self is split off as an adaptation to a mother who reflects her own defenses onto the infant rather than reflecting the infant’s actual moods. When the false self is functional both for the person and for society then it is considered healthy. The healthy false self feels that that it is still being true to the true self. It can be compliant but without feeling that it has betrayed its true self. When the situation becomes difficult, the true self can still override the true self and so acts as an effective conscience or super-ego. A self that fits in but through a feeling of forced compliance rather than loving adaptation is unhealthy.

When the false self wins debates against the true self, the person finds that they are unable to be guided by their true self and so has to adapt to the social situation rather than assert its self.

It happened in the life of Jesus. As he matures from birth to manhood, he walks more and more in the stature of his Real Self, his Christ Self. He was found in the temple discoursing with the doctors at the age of twelve. This is a sign that the Christ Presence, or the Christ Self, is overshadowing him and he is speaking the word of that Christ. At the age of thirty we find him in the full presence of the Christ so that his disciples recognize him as their master. He calls them away from their nets to become fishers of men. He begins to heal, to cast out demons —all this because the man Jesus has merged with the Real Self, the Christ. He walks the earth for three years performing not miracles but the functions of cosmic law. In the same manner, Buddha, as Siddhartha, the child who was born a prince into wealth and the surroundings of opportunity, becomes the soul who must mature and discover the Real Self. Prince Siddhartha left home to find the cause of suffering but also discovered the Real Self, which he defined as the Buddha. This is because his meditation was upon God through the crown chakra or the sacred energy center in our body.

Gautama Buddha demonstrated the way of self-mastery that was the dispensation for the evolutions of the East. Jesus Christ showed it for the evolutions of the West. We’ve reached a period now where there’s an exchange between East and West, and we who live in the West must also pursue the type of mastery that Buddha demonstrated.

The Self begins with the permanent atom of being, the cause out of which the effect proceeds. When you are all alone, this is your pure time and true self.
