The perceiver and the perceived.
What observes and what is observed.
Your consciousness and lower centers.
Self-remembering is a blend of both,
where you are both the perceiver and the perceived,
the creator and the created.
Separation is united by Self-remembering with love.
[This article is written for myself as a rescue note, how to regain I AM when I cannot exist definitely. The article will be updated regularly]
You might notice your energy is stuck in your head, and not grounded in your body. You need to find ways to lower your energy and ground yourself and fully back into your body.
Stop the cause. Perhaps you have done things too much in sleep, too much inner considering, wrong work of centers (too much momentum in moving center, etc.)
You need to do something to activate your heart center. So that energy will come down from your head to your heart.
– Watch emotional Youtube videos. Something that makes your heart move.
– Look at pictures that make you feel sweet. Lovely animals pics, beautiful nature, etc.
– Listen music which makes you emotional. Powerful classical music.
– Collect your energy
– Massage your hands and feet.
– Lower your energy using open hand sweeping down motion, drain energy to earth.
– Listen delta wave music, and relieve tension in your head
– Electric massager
– Imagine that you are in a dream. You are living in a dream. You are in a dream. Things you see around and everything is a dream. You are safe and can move freely.
– Feel the divine light shinning from a higher dimension. You are surrounded by light.
– Meditation for grounding.
– Know that you will regain your I AM.
– Take fine impressions. Art, music.
Remember yourself always and everywhere, and do not lose yourself. Affirm your I AM always.
As mentioned in other posts, with enlightenment my visual perception became very much enhanced. My eyes now perceive everything far more vivid, rich, and with high contrast, as if they are Photoshopped. And ecstatic, enchanting feeling accompanies my visual perceptions. The world became so pretty and ecstatic.
An issue was that I used to get so fascinated by the beauty around me and often lost myself in it. In the state of fascination I was forgetting to remember myself. I was lost in the experience, and thus I was in sleep.
The same was true when experiencing a higher states of consciousness. I often lost myself in the beautiful experience of it and forgot to remember myself.
Even when we are experiencing extraordinary spiritual experiences, we need to be aware that there is something in you observing all these experiences, and this, what is observing, is the real you. The experience itself is not you. You are what observes and not what is observed.
It seems that a goal of many spiritual practitioners is to ‘experience’ higher state of consciousness, Samadhi, enlightenment, universal love, oneness, whatever they call. But many people are not aware that these are experiences outside yourself, and that the real you is what is observing these experiences. Even in Samadhi, you need to keep your self-remembering with you. Because that self is you, not the experience, even it might be extraordinary.
Enlightenment is not about reaching and experiencing these extraordinary states of consciousness, but it is a discovery, nurturing, and crystallization of real you, establishment of a permanent ‘I’, a permanent I AM awareness. And all extraordinary experiences will come along with it.
We tend to make things complicated, even for enlightenment.
I have come to see more and more clearly that things are actually very simple: There is only “You” and your personality self—the observer and the observed. And the entity that observes is You. That is all.
The personality self is your familiar self. It encompasses what you generally perceive as “you”: your body, emotions, thoughts, feelings, beliefs, opinions, etc. and the whole spectrum of your experiences— happiness, difficulties, worrying, hope…, anything and everything that arises from your physical, emotional, and mental construct. While these aspects feel undeniably real, they are not You. They are your personality self.
On the opposite end, there is an entity that observes all these activities of personality self. This entity, the observer, is You.
In spiritual community it is often said that there are two selves within you: your lower self, and the higher or true divine self. The trouble with this description is that upon hearing it, you will likely to attempt to identify these two separate selves within you, and you will inevitably fail. While you might find your lower self, the “true self” eludes discovery because the very “you” attempting to locate the true self is the true self itself. You can’t observe the “true self” since it is the one doing the observing.
Most people only know their personality self. This is simply because nobody taught you how to recognize the true self and what you really are. You are the true self as you are, but simply you have not realized and identified yourself as the true self yet.
You are aware that you are aware. This awareness is an entity, and it is you. This unnamable existence, the sense of “I exist”, that awareness, is you.
When you are feeling beauty,
you are heart centered,
and you are present.
Your thinking brain is for a moment, still.
Beauty brings you back to this now moment.
So pause a moment, and satiate yourself with beauty in this moment, and the next moment, and the next moment…
It is much easier to remember yourself when you are in a state of beauty.
What is beauty?
It is light.
It is your perception of higher worlds.
