The Role of the Higher Self, the Brain, and the Physical Mind

Photo by Marc Adamus

If we look carefully at our human mind, we see that it has NO capacity for creation. It only has the ability to look at the past and figure out what happened and how it happened to the best of its ability.

It has no capability to discern or create future, nor is that its job.

All creative ideas, every single idea that just *popped* into your awareness came in from a Source beyond the physical mind.

It came into you from you, from your higher self. The source of all creation in the river of life is the infinite light that comes from above.

How You’re Designed To Operate:

  • The higher self conceives.
  • The physical brain receives.
  • The personality/mind perceives.

The higher self has a much higher vantage point than the lower self. It can see the big picture and all the obstacles that lie ahead.

It communicates to you through your intuition, your sixth sense. Your brain receives signals from the physical world through your five physical senses. It receives signals from your higher self, which is all-knowing and forever guiding you towards higher and higher states of Love if you would only allow it, through your sixth sense, the non-physical intuitive sense. This is how it communicates. It’s a FEELING, a tug, an internal knowingness, a premonition, a gut feeling, a sense of lightness and ease.

It is your physical mind’s job ONLY to focus your awareness in physical reality so that you can perceive and experience what you conceived from your higher self which you say to be representative of your truths and joys.

You see, when the physical mind thinks it’s in charge, that it is the one who has to do all the heavy lifting, creation, problem solving, and solution finding, the mind will get caught up in looking at the past to figure out how something happened in the past, looping its mental memory bank, and thinking that what it perceived in the past MUST be a way that you will solve this problem this time around.

This is NOT true.

It believes that the way something happened in the past MUST be how it’s solved again in the future and thus it closes you off from ANY new sources of creation.

Let go of the how the mind thinks it needs to happen and allow your higher self to SHOW you how it can happen. Then allow the physical mind to receive/perceive these incoming solutions.

Suffering Is Not Necessary.

None of life’s suffering is necessary. Life offers challenges, but those are exciting. Life offers an abundant array of activities as part of the unfoldment of creation.

All suffering is due to ignorance.

The ignorance is that we don’t know who we truly are. We don’t know our roles in life, realize our true creative powers, or are aware of the tools we have at our disposal.

Suffering is a direct result of using the physical mind to work out both how to make something happen and to then actually create it, neither of which it was ever designed to do!

When you overburden the physical mind, physical manifestation doesn’t occur the way it was intended. You’re not using the tools properly and thus you suffer. Remember, the mind’s role is not to control external reality.

Some people will say, “The Law of Attraction isn’t working for me! The universe isn’t responding and my choices aren’t manifesting.”

No… YOU aren’t working properly. The universe is working EXACTLY the way it’s supposed to. The Law of Attraction always works. Every time. It is universal law.

You were never intended to carry the entire burden of your life on the shoulders of your physical mind. No no no, that was never the plan. However, when you don’t use your WHOLE Self, you suffer. You experience this suffering in the form of feeling alone, cut off, separate, fearful, self-loathing, hate, sadness, and so on.

How To Live The Way You Were Designed:

Your job is to simply become PASSIONATE about what you do want and to let go of all attachment to it or its opposite. Allow the flow of Life’s energy to flow through you without restriction.

You, as your higher self, are designed to continuously guide your WHOLE self towards what you want as a physical representation of who you now say you are and to thus experience that, without resistance from the lower self.

It’s meant to be a team effort, where all parts of yourself are working together, mind, body, and soul.

It is when you “have it all together” and you put your full enthusiasm and passion into life that you find your life EXPLODES with synchronicities and creations that are truly miraculous.

What you are capable of in this world is STAGGERING!

Allow yourself to spend time deliberately going within and connecting with the various aspects of yourself.

Open up and allow the higher portions of yourself to come into physical reality and help you out. You were designed to work this way from the very start. Allow yourself to become whole, “holy.”

Allow yourself to continually ride this wave of being on the leading edge of your joy, the continual unfoldment of your highest excitement, to feel passionate about who you are and what you want, and to even be passionate about being PASSIONATE! Then watch your life TAKE OFF!

Whew!

Feel ALIVE!! :clapping

    Interesting post.

    I’m trying to explore how those ‘ideas’ pop into mind too. I’m wondering if there is an understanding that occurs before the thought that makes the thought unnecessary. Because I find every other thought that appears (most of the others don’t seem to ‘pop’ though…) seems to be mostly irrelevant and just serves to take me away from now.

    I know what you mean. It seems that divine insights are somehow different than the typical mental chatter we experience. In fact, they more often come in the form of an intuitive feeling, a hunch, or just a sort of knowingness that doesn’t need to be translated into words. The ideas that seem to ‘pop’ into your awareness are prior to thought and prior to any verbalization.

    Ariel, I soooo resonate with this! I’ve been talking to a few people on the same points but you sure had it all summed up very nicely in writing. :)

    Deep respect. Was looking at the sentence “The source of all creation in the river of life is the infinite light that comes from above.” - and asking is infinite light coming from above? IS the the Absolute above (all through and One) ? Just didn’t have a personal experience of an ‘above’, but maybe there is that experience. Grateful to have surrender from any direction :-)

    Perhaps you can share some more on the question when you get a chance.

    Hey Psiplex,

    The Absolute is not above in the relative sense for it is beyond relativity. There is no dualistic below for the above to be counter to. It is all literally right here, beyond time and space.

    In the context of this post, “above” is simply referring to the nonphysical Unmanifest.

    It is traditionally thought of as “up” when we start exploring the chakra system, consider the idea of raising our vibration, of traveling “up” the tunnel towards the white light, and so on. It’s simply a helpful manner of speaking. :)
