What is Self-Knowledge?

Everyone wishes to know, “Who Am I?” It is a very complex question because the body, mind and soul comprise the quantity of what you are. Since you can observe, read and know all three, and more so because you consider all the three-element as yours, you are more than the said three as one unit. Body as gross energy, mind being subtle and soul as the core. According to Spiritualism, self-knowledge is the end of all knowledge. Knowledge keeps evolving and in the end what is left is that truth, with no one left to deny.

Moreover, once you know the self, it is the knowledge of the ultimate. Why? Because it is the self which is responsible for discovering the universe from microcosm to macrocosm, and everything in it to explore, discover, create, reflect, and experience. To realise all that exists is temporary to appear and disappear back into the universe where it came from.

As you keep unpeeling yourself from what has been provided to you by others; name, gender, nationality, culture, religion, knowledge etc., from various media and beliefs or others’ experiences, finally maturing into a bundle of thoughts; What remains is your memory of the past, the baggage you carry for the intellect to choose, discern and experience for its body and mind.

In this game of life, the soul too enjoys being a spectator and an actor. Spectator, when it is purely watching and witnessing the mind. An actor, when it makes the mind aware and conscious to experience the world of duality to relate in opposites of divine and the devil going through different roles in life that of a child, youth, middle age and old to disappear back to start a new game of life after death. After all the peeling is done what remains is that emptiness of nothing, as if you have peeled an onion and in the end, you find nothing inside.

This nothing or zero is what the Hindus discovered and refer to as shunya, the substrate from which everything, from the stars to the subatomic particles superimpose to appear and disappear restricted to their respective space and time. What is left is nothing but Brahman or as Quantum Physics refer to the same as energy. The power which is indivisible cannot be created nor destroyed but has the ability to alter, change, expand and evolve within itself. The supreme ability of energy in making the mind aware of which we perceive and conceive through our senses. It is the intensity of aware individual energy, which makes a living creature know and understand existence. That spirit contained in the soul, the everlasting awareness, absolute and nondual, is the final truth of ‘who is the self’.

The unchanging intelligence, the aware energy, the only reality which empowers your mind to observe, perceive, discover and experience the universe; the purpose of life through our individual consciousness, which our awareness creates differently and uniquely for every living creature. Consciousness is that link or connection to the larger whole, that underlying substrate.

Spiritualism teaches and clarifies the separation between you, the noumenon as the divine awareness and the mind being that phenomenon, both representing the most fascinating element of life. Our scriptures say that the only person you do not know is yourself. You seem to know everything and everybody externally, but you are ignorant when it comes to your innate self. You are under an illusion, ‘Maya’ or deception. It is essential to understand your ‘self’.

They also said you are that divine because even the divine exists because of you. If you were not there, the divine would not be there. Divinity will not be there. Plants and animals cannot behave in divinity So, everything revolves around the self. How do you know anything about God when you do not even know the self? You came first, and God followed later.

What is the self? Is it the psychological image of what you think, feel and believe? No. Psychology is the mind, and to the mind, you say your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. You attach ‘your’ before everything which means that these are yours. That means it is something else; it is not you. It is your quantum. It is a part of what you are and not who you are.

The body, mind, and soul are individualised, whereas the subject of spiritualism speaks only of you, the universal self. It speaks only of that wholesomeness in you – omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. It comprises waves of energy in unity and continuity.

The self is universal, and the knowledge of the self has no beginning or end. It has no “I” to back it up. Knowing the self is not even an achievement. It gives you clarity about life. If there is clarity, you will understand clearly. You will be in full consciousness. Clarity is the highest form of understanding. Your intelligence provides you with clarity.

So, neither the psychological self nor the soul is who you are. You are not the ego, the lower consciousness, either. Because consciousness triggers the mind, it activates the mind. It goes beyond the mechanical mind. It is that wakefulness; it is not you.

You do not understand from your mind your actual self because the psychological self is not the self. It is that universal expanse of awareness, which is always there, not even aware of itself, but has the power to make your mind aware and, after that, conscious. It is that context within which you have the content of the physical and the thinking self with an identity. You simply need to be aware of its presence to enhance your intensity of aware energy, making your mind constantly alert, attentive, aware and conscious.

Self is in that “beingness”, not the being. It is that beingness/awareness which makes the mechanical mind aware and then conscious. That being-ness is who you are, and the rest is what you are. It is the quantum. For example, you see waves rise and fall in the ocean, but water is the essence of everything in the sea. It is the essence that matters. Beingness is the essence of who you are, and it is reflected in awareness. Once you become aware externally and internally, you start knowing what you are. Otherwise, you would not. You need to be aware either from your past awareness or present awareness in spontaneity. The past awareness in the memory is deciphered by the intellect, whereas the present awareness in spontaneity is considered intelligence.

In spontaneity, intelligence comes through intuition and instinct. Intuition and intelligence are your beingness. The soul, which many consider the ultimate, is not the ultimate because it is individualised. And once it is individualised, it is one step less than the universal spirit. It is not in its wholesomeness. It is in duality. It has a subject-object relationship with the cosmos. It is that divine within you because it contains the non-dual absolute spirit, but it is not the actual self; it connects to the cosmos and receives the divine aware energy.

So, who is that self? None of the three: witnesser, witnessing or witnessed. That witness, the flow of energy with the supreme ability, settled in the superconscious section of the mind called the soul, which has the power. Our spiritual sages of ancient times called this power: “Paramatma”, which means beyond consciousness, “Parameshwar” - beyond God, and “Parabrahma”, which means beyond the standard abilities of the energy. It is that supreme ability of energy which remains non-dual and absolute.

Similarly, in the case of an observer observing the observed, when they all become one, what remains is only observation occurring in spontaneity. When you are witnessing only the witness, who you are is the ultimate truth; not the apparent truth—one without a second. There is no second to it. This is how the subject of spiritualism has described the self. It is the essence of who you are.

It is that supreme ability and it is the understanding of the self. There is only one spirit as the essence of everything that we have discovered, everything that we know. The essence prevails and pervades the ocean of awareness, which activates the mechanical mind and forms the conscious principle. Without the conscious direction, the mind would be mechanical.

Therefore, the Self is nothing but waves of aware energy settled in the mind, in the soul, which has been individualised. It goes into the mind and provides that “thinking self” or “illusory self” functioning in duality. You cannot call your mind first ‘me’ and then refer to it as ‘my mind’. So, either you say I am the mind or the mind is yours. And according to the subject of spiritualism, this conflict can only be settled when you have self-knowledge in self-awareness.

In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.

This morning, I asked the cards "What part of myself do I focus on today?" I drew the King of Swords from The Somnia Tarot. 🔪 The King sits on his throne, able to offer wise counsel. He knows his own mind and yet uses his Swords gently to point out different pathways or different ways of thinking. Around him, sandbags that were filled with sand, with weight he was carrying around, have been punctured. The sand is slipping out of the bags. The weight is gone. 🔪 I have been carrying so many thoughts and they have been poking at my mind, keeping me from sleep. There is so much going on in my head right now. I need to focus on quieting my mind, on letting go of these thoughts, letting the sand flow out, so that I can find balance and peace. 🔪 I am the master of my mind, not the other way around. 🔪 #tarotreadersofinstagram #tarottribe #somniatarot #mind #mastetofmind #mindmagic #mindovermatter #letitgo #weight #peace #balance #quietthemind #LightintheDark #quietthemindandthesoulwillspeak #sparkleon #shinebright #likeadiamond #cardoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CU7PPiGLCLs/?utm_medium=tumblr

Stillness To Silence

Hundreds of times, I’ve talked about spiritualism, never mentioning religion or self-help factors like motivational, psychological, or inspirational. Pure spiritualism has always been my forte: spirit, spiritual, spirituality, and spiritualism, and how to become spiritual. Today I shall discuss how to quieten, still or silence your mind or, in another way, silence the mind for the soul to speak. From motion to rest, not to slow down but to make the mind dynamic by being focussed and centred not wandering here and there. Stilling, the mind’s chatter is crucial when it comes to the subject of spirituality. Three essential aspects are involved.

The first is to know yourself, or who you are outside of your body and thoughts. It refuses to believe that you are separate from your mind, thoughts, brain, or body. Everything is yours. They are always referred to as my mind, body, hand, eyes, and thoughts. In addition, you can read your mind and its thoughts. So you’re more than your body and thoughts. For this reason, the essence of the subject of spiritualism revolves around self-knowledge, self-discovery, self-experiencing, and self-awakening to self-realize who you are.

The present moment of ‘now’ is the second factor. How to live existentially from one moment to the next and not be overly concerned with the thoughts of the past and future. It is now where living organisms such as plants and animals dwell from one moment to another. The mind has a specific limitation, which spirituality attempts to correct. To choose between this and that in duality for its likes and dislikes in selfishness, the mind keeps going back to the past, projecting that into the future. It collects information from its memory, evaluates its intellect, and subsequently acts upon selfish thoughts that ignore the present. It means that thoughts originate and first relate to the past and, after that, connect to future thoughts in self-interest. The present moment is left for the spirit to consider in spontaneity.

The third factor is stillness, how to quieten the mind from its random, reckless and repetitive chattering thoughts multitasking into this or that. Like I said before, thoughts are always of the past. We are to still the mind to focus, centralize and concentrate on the subject at hand to make it more dynamic. Hence we need to silence that chattering mind and present it in the now. Single pointedly contemplating on the subject in the now, spontaneously through its intelligence rather than brood through its intellect primarily for its self-interest. As a result, you capture fresh awareness through your inert intelligence rather than depending upon past awareness from your memory and intellect.

The first component is that of knowing oneself. It is that context, the quality and the subject of who you are. After that, we come to the body, brain and mind; the content, quantity or the objective of what you are. All three magical words form the totality of who and what we are as body, mind and soul. Where soul contains that spirit of immediate awareness, which checks and guides the mind in the present moment, and the mind in turn checks, guides and influences the body from its material and spiritual functioning. The material operation relates to living in dualities of positive-negative, good-bad, truth-lie, divine-devil etc., in opposites of this and that, here and there for its likes and dislikes. The mind in such a manner chooses, identifies, accumulates, and attaches desirously and emotionally to form your personality.

On the other hand, the spiritual plays its role only if awakened by the mind spontaneously to provide insight into everything that gradually creates your uniqueness and individuality for all to remember even when your body and mind no longer exist. We are more concerned here with the quality of the spirit rather than the quantity of the mind’s random thoughts constantly flowing here and there.

The mind is conditioned for thousands of years of evolution from the past. Even your name, gender, knowledge etc., are obtained from others’ experiences through various channels. You gather everything supplied to you from the outside world and identify it as your knowledge. This knowledge improves your intellect but does not affect the actual self — the soul. The mind is simply storing information in its memory, adding and deleting it without your consent regularly. On the other hand, the soul provides fresh choiceless awareness for your mind to understand with clarity rather than blindly believing into this and storing that in your memory to gossip to others about the quantum of how much you know but do not understand with clarity

I reiterate the mind can only think about the past and future, ignoring the present. It takes time for the mind to think, assess, analyse, and infer. The mind gathers past information from the memory, extracts what it needs, and adds new knowledge gathered from here and there. As a result, it skips over the present and projects the past into the future. The mind can never catch the present because the present moment becomes the past by the time it analyses and infers

The present is vitally significant in the theme of spirituality to complete the triad of past, present and future, which in turn relies upon the mind’s quietness. Stillness is at the heart of the first two factors because it awakens your actual self to bring the mind to the spontaneity of that existential moment. Mind is yours and the thinking self is not you, but only a bundle of thoughts projecting desires in emotions. For this reason, it is incorrect referring to that as the self because it operates based on duality in relativity, constantly changing as per your whims and fancies. The soul awakens when the mind is silent in the presence of now, indicating you exist in that spiritual beingness, existentially going through a human experience in every present moment.

In Hinduism, every prayer ends with “OM, Shanti Shanti Shanti”. Each Shanti represents shant as silence. The first one denotes silence, the second denotes stillness, and the third convey moksha, or emancipation from the mind through silence. Ending with — Hari Om Tat Sat — the manifest and the unmanifest are the same.
