The entirety of the self
(The egoic self, the soul self, and the no-self).
The self consists of the face/front, referred to as the egoic self. The authentic defines the soul self, and the peace describes the state of the no-self. All three have a purpose and, with awareness, are utilized to guard, perform and rest as the egoic face can protect one from the ego in others by the stillness of the unbothered front that guards one from reacting to the ego and surrenders to the law of balanced karma. The authenticity of the soul performs in the experience of existence, interactions, and purposeful production. The no-self is the pure shared space of the Divine Source's consciousness described as the blissful sensation of being.
The egoic face is the ignorance displayed to ignore the ego in others, and the soul is the purity of one's character that developed alongside or to those who do not awaken to the soul's recognition beneath the ego carrying the noble qualities and skills gained from all circumstances endured. The no-self is the innocent nothingness of consciousness one is born with and exudes until the ego mistakenly identified with clouds the knowing of pure nothingness, which is why we know everything exists, as without nothing, one cannot recall something.
The ego develops to protect one from hurt or painful experiences or circumstances; however, the discovery of the soul-self reveals the illusion and enlightens the truth of the ego-guarding purpose. It is merely a face, not a character, to adopt. It is a front to deliver the poker face required to guard the vulnerable soul from sharing purity with the evil of the ego within others used as the character and performed with. When the ego serves, inaccuracy and deception develop the character. In contrast, when the soul performs, the Divine Source evolves the character through the intended ascribed circumstances delivered to build the character the Divine wanted to subject the soul to so the purposeful work that the soul's creation is for can be born inspired and characterized by the soul.
They ensure well-deserved rest in the no-self-consciousness with a higher understanding that the soul is not one's essence. It is the character utilized to perform, as the truth of one's being is the no-self-consciousness. Knowing what is and always will be without words to define the reality of nothing, like the trees understanding that there is no one without articulating it.
The dissolving of the ego is ego death. Everything that dies returns to the Divine Source known to be God, which means the dissolution of an ego can be tamed to behave in stillness when facing the ego within others to deceive the ego within others that it is not dealing with a vulnerable soul of the Divine Source that is ultimately guarded and protected by the Divine with the utilisation of the ego instead of guarded by the true essence of an undissolved ego which is a weak and limited mind programmed from previous pain and hurt. That suggests the Source is the power the egoic face is energised with when dissolved to be brought out only when one is facing the ego within others and controlled with stillness and calculated response that is the knowing of the no-self in control of a dissolved ego.
After returning to the Source with the dissolution, the true purpose of the egoic face is to fool with a guarded front during stillness with the calculative response, not an impulsive reaction that comes from the submission to the Divine Source. The egoic face can guard one from the ego in others by the stillness of the unbothered front that protects one from reacting to the ego and surrenders to the law of balanced karma. The difference between being the ego and wearing the face during stillness that disguises the vulnerability of the soul is the underlining awareness of detachment with the face and returning to the soul when delivering, and resting in the no-self whilst not delivering and guarding.
Although the ego’s original purpose was to confuse human beings with an identity that divides one from the oneness of all that the Divine Source supervises and to prevent one from recognising the soul that is the character to perform within submission to the Divine, the ego develops from painful experiences and abusive encounters that the vulnerable soul without the knowledge of the Divine Source and its guardianship falls prey to by allowing the ego to attach to the pain of suffering and take up space in the human psyche that leaves the soul unconscious and imprisoned to the ego’s identity to run amuck and take charge of one’s life. The need for protection that derives from trauma, which frightens the soul and ends up induced by the egos within others, is the reason the soul hides behind the ego. The protection the ego provides is an illusion as it is deceptive, justifying its weakness and hiding behind lies and delusion. That means if one identifies with the ego, the character that develops will be performed by the ego, consisting of inaccuracy and deception; therefore, the ego is a face, a front, not a character at its core.
(A profound understanding of the ego, its development and the dissolution process elaborated and thoroughly explained in the Returning 2 Source book).
The reveal of the soul self is evident after recognising the egoic self and realising the need to dissolve the egoic self to rescue the character beneath that lacked the understanding of the Divine Source's supervision. The soul is the child of the Divine; it is a piece of the Source's energy, an extension of its grace, and seeks to understand what stimulates its curiosity of its existence.
The soul is ascribed a life of detailed events that mark a significant urge within to deliver purposeful expression inspired by the Divine Source through the trials and tribulations that form the character that is needed for the Divine to utilise as a vessel to provide the cure to boredom that allowed the soul to become subjugated by the ego.
The soul under the ego's thumb is asleep and unaware of the purpose of its circumstances, and the noble, vulnerable character beneath that has a purpose. Instead, the ego blinds the soul to be faithless, hopeless, and unaware of answers to why it hurts, why it exists, and why anything matters.
The state of the no-self is the submission to the Divine Source as the governor of one's existence, the complete surrender to the acceptance of the nothingness one is without the Divine Source's power to back it up and illuminate its existence that is creation.
The no-self produces the space and clear mind to receive instructions on how to conduct with everyone faced. Stillness and calculative responses whilst interacting with the ego within others conclude the ego's dissolution and transformative tool for the Divine Source to utilise through the soul's vessel to dodge the ego.
The state of the no-self is the clear mind that makes way for the Divine Source's instructions to find space and coach. The state of the no-self assists in receiving the training by the Source for people to be able to recognise souls within others to behave with authentic caring expression and respected attention, whilst guarding the soul within from the ego within others by accessing the ego within after guiding to the ego dissolution that lifts the soul from under the egos thumb to the forefront of occupancy.
Overall, the complexity of the self, when broken down and dissected, we come to find three selves: the egoic self, the soul self, and the no-self within all human beings. The egoic self is the mask, and when utilized under the Divine Sources' supervision, it guards one from the egos within others. The soul self is the purity of one's noble character, defined as the child of the Divine and the extension of its mercy. The no-self is the pure consciousness of nothing that is everything and shares space with the Divine Source, receiving instructions to guide along one's journey of life.
The egoic self births during traumatic experiences in which one identifies with the pain and neglects to release emotional hurt that the ego attaches to and subjugates the soul under its thumb, imprisoning the soul in the body and taking charge of direction, cultivating an inaccurate and deceitful front to perform with.
The soul self is the character ascribed by the Divine Source that collects the noble qualities needed through circumstantial events that play a significant role in delivering the purposeful antidote to the curious mind that tames the ego, fulfils the soul and ignites understanding that boredom lacks hosted by the Divine Source.
The no-self-consciousness is the space that holds room for instructions, guidance, and connection to the Divine Source. The awareness of nothing and the detachment of the self is the employment of the soul as a tool for interaction and deliverance and the egoic face as a guard to keep the ego within others at bay.
It is crucial to understand the entirety of the self not to fall prey to the ego, find purpose in the soul, and assert peace within that peals the layers of illusion and connects with the energy of the Divine Source that refurbishes the internal state and exudes outwardly a shine of Divinity.
*** Nothing is the creation of everything; without nothing is the inability to identify everything; therefore, the no-self is the all-self, the oneness with everything.***
