Never assume, be proud of, when you realise a certain truth, that you alone had arrived at a unique spiritual insight. The Truth is not patented. There is only one reality and there are countless Buddhas who had realised it already.
Be glad that you are one step closer and continue stepping forward. Do not think that you are one step ahead of others-that is your ego playing tricks-you are not out to win others in attaining Enlightenment first. Your Enlightenment is for the others-we are all one body. Your one big step to your personal Enlightenment might be just a small step to the Enlightenment of all.

Part san
The entity is the overall identity of which his personality is one manifestation – an independent and eternally valid portion.
There is within his psyche what amounts to a transparent dimensional warp that serves almost like an open window through which other realities can be perceived, a multidimensional opening that has to some extent escaped being clouded over by the shade of physical focus.
The physical senses usually blind you to these open channels, for they perceive reality only in their own image.
There is not just one dimension in which nonphysical consciousness resides, any more than there is only one country on your planet or planet within your solar system.
All systems of reality are not physically oriented.
This ability to change form is an inherent characteristic of any consciousness.
Your physical form can lie sleeping and inert upon the bed while your consciousness travels in a dream form to places quite distant. So consciousness is not limited as to the forms it can create at any given time.
Your feelings can best be described as the three dimensional materializations of far greater psychological events and experiences that are related to the inner senses.
There are no real barriers to separate the systems. The only separation is brought about by the varying abilities of personalities and manipulate. You exist in the midst of many other systems of reality, for example, but you do not perceive them.

Part er
You observe the outside aspects of objects. Your physical senses permit you to perceive the exterior forms to which you then react, but your physical senses to some extent force you to perceive reality in this manner, and the inside vitality within matter and form is not so apparent.
Nothing exists – neither rock, mineral, plant, animal, or air – that is not filled with consciousness of its own kind. So you stand amid a constant vitality commotion, a gestalt of aware energy, and you are yourselves physically composed of conscious cells that carry within themselves the realization of their own identity, that cooperate willingly to form the corporeal structure that is your physical body.
You are to some extent a portion of other consciousness. There are no limitations to the self. There are no limitations to the potentials.
The ego is a jealous god, and it wants its interest served. It does not want to admit the reality of any dimensions except those within which it feels comfortable and can understand. It was meant to be an aid, but it has been allowed to become a tyrant. Even so, it is much more resilient and eager to learn than is generally supposed. Its curiosity can be of great value.
If you have a limited conception of reality, then your ego will do its best to keep you in the small enclosed area of your accepted reality.

Part yi
Consciousness is a way of perceiving the various dimensions of reality. The physical senses allow you to perceive the three dimensional world, and yet by their very nature they can inhibit the perception of other equally valid dimensions.
You prefer to identify with the part of you who watches television or cooks or works -- the part you think knows what it is doing.
It is you, so focused in physical reality, who does not listen to its voice. (inner ego)
All necessary information is given to you through these inner channels, and unbelievable inner activities take place before you can so much as lift a finger, flicker an eyelid, or read this sentence.
There is however a portion of you, the deeper identity who forms both the inner and outer ego, who decided that you would be a physical being in this place and in this time. This is the core of your identity, the psychic seed from which you sprang, the multidimensional personality of which you are part.
The self is but one fragment of your entire identity. These fragments selves are nut strung together, however, like beads of a string. They are more like the various skins of an onion, or segments of an orange, all connected through the one vitality and growing out into various realities while springing from the same source.

Not Sure........
If you believe that a given situation should make you happy, then it will.
Within you is the ability to change your ideas about reality and about yourself, to create a personal living experience that is fulfilling to your self and others.
Your conscious beliefs direct the functioning of your body
Your ideas and beliefs form the structure of your experience.
You are responsible for your success and your joys. You can change those areas of your life with which you are less than pleased, but you must take the responsibility for your being.
Your spirit joined itself with flesh, and in flesh, to experience a world of incredible richness, to help create a dimension of reality of colors and of form.
Your spirit was born in flesh to enrich a marvelous area of sense awareness, to feel energy made into corporeal form.
You are here to use, enjoy, and express yourself through the body. You are here to aid in the great expansion of consciousness.
You are not here to cry about the miseries of the human condition, but to change them when you find them not to your liking through the joy, strength and vitality that is within you; to create the spirit as faithfully and beautifully as you can in flesh.
Many false beliefs therefore are indiscriminately accepted because you have not examined them.
Divisions, illusionary ones, appear in the self.
You change your experience or any portion of it, then you must change your ideas.
You are not your ideas, nor even your thoughts.
You had a hand in the development of your childhood environment. You chose the circumstances. This does not mean that you are at the mercy of those circumstances. This does not mean that you are at the mercy of those circumstances. It means that you set challenges to be overcome, set goals to be reached, set up frameworks of experience through which you could develop, understand and fulfill certain abilities.

Tendencies
We are all nothing but a bunch of shifting tendencies. Tendencies are shaped by the force of habit. None of us have to definitely have a certain thing (or do a certain thing) even though we might feel the urge to do so to be strong. Our tendencies are often our desires without Wisdom or evaluation. Not following may leave us hollow in a certain sense. This feeling of hollowness is caused by our attachment to that tendency as being part of our illusionary self.
The recognition of our tendencies lead us to the dissolution of our false self. Not following our tendencies blindly is spiritual cultivation. The next time you feel like having or doing something, be it a neutral or ill thing, resist for a while, and let your Wisdom evaluate its worth before following it-Does the tendency lead towards Enlightenment or to more suffering?
