Self Is The Real You Me And Us

Self is Your Core

The Self is our core, the essence of each one of us. It is where we go to be ourselves. A place we would never leave on our own. Our power and strength come from there. If your mind and the ways of life have kept you away, it is a choice to go back. It is not easy to do. That is unless it is what you want. And you must want to above all else. To be self-aware is what you need to be to know who you are.

How we think, feel, and act comes after we are born. It is not born with us. It is not the Self. These are things that make up our personality. It is the way we show the world who we think we are. In other words, what we feel about ourselves. Though not always true. It is how we act, and may change as we change how we think. The Self will not change. It is the you that was created for you. Your Self is your own, given to each one of us. None is the same.

Life evolves, but the Self does not change, it does not shrink, it does not grow. It can be smothered. Then, of course, you will not be able to express yourself. The way we think is what smothers the Self. It will not let the real one surface. The self is there for all of us to be. It is not about how one behaves. That has more to do with your personality.

Unlike the Self, personality is a group of character traits that help define who we are. This grouping is the most affected by the seeds of doubt. Doubt is the root cause of disordered thinking. Our thoughts, feelings, and how we act change, but we do not. Of course, that is if there is no conflict, which would be with the Self. One of the ways that the things we believe in are shown is through our character. It is how others view us. As well, it is a part of us that tells what we think about ourselves. It will vary at times. However, it will only be the real you when it matches your Self.

We are born with a map of who we are. It makes up the person that is you. The person we were meant to be. It is the core of the human being and does not change. As with all things, our physical side changes with time. Our genes, of course, determine how we will look. We have no say in this. It is part of our creation. We do have a say in the life we create. As we do with whom we create our offspring with. And this would be the other parent, the co-creator of this new life.

You cannot be who you are not and will tire out trying. Yet, many do try.

Some will say that a person has changed and does not act the same. They may have changed how they act, though they are not different. Not a thing has changed about who they are. They are still who they have always been. What has changed is how the person thinks, feels, and acts. The core of their being, which is the soul, has not changed. You cannot sell it, and you will not lose it. It is the real you. You cannot be who you are not and will tire out trying. Yet, many do try.
