The Deeper Self

Fear, doubt, the feeling of being uncertain, anger, hatred and sickness those are the inner life of the person who are not at home in their own body. And one of the important reason behind it because people are only learning from outside. In this age, very few of people who want to learn from the inside.

Let's see the lessons that are taught in public schools. Almost all of them are learning only from outside. The same thing happen in family and society. Excessive competition among people makes them following the others. As a result, many people live like living in someone else's body.

The end result is predictable, too many people in this age feel unsafe and uncomfortable in their own bodies. The longer they live like this, the more seeds of illness that they plant inside. World Health Organization (WHO) predicted that mental illness will be very disturbing start from the year of 2020.




Under this light of understanding, it is wise to start learning from the inside. Quoting from a mystic ” to dig within is like peeling onions”. On the surface it looks brown and dirty. When it is peeled, it appears to be white. The more we peel the onion, the whiter the color. When there is nothing to peel, nothing left except tear drops.

To make it concrete, on the surface soul appears to be dirty because of sins and guilty feelings. The deeper one dig within, the whiter (by which read: grateful) the color of life. As soon as souls arrive home, there is only tear drops. Not because of sadness or pain, but because of deep inner joy and deep inner harmony.

Among so many hidden teachers which are available within and can lead spiritual seekers to dig deep within is pain and sickness. Mainly because of pain and sickness leaves no other option but to look deep inside.

For that reason, whatever the form of pain and sickness, both physical and emotional pain, learn to find spiritual guidance behind the pain and sickness. Louise L. Hay in her book titled “You Can Heal Your Life” is one of the spiritual seekers who found deep spiritual messages behind pain and sickness.

Just as examples, those friends who have heart problems are being invited to perfect the quality of their love. Seekers who have problem with liver are suggested to heal their anger. Inner travelers who have digestive disorders are advised to be more flowing in life.

Just in case you have respiratory problems, it is a symbolic sign that the inner soul is knocking your door telling that you need spiritual connectedness. Anyone who have problem with their feet, it is a clear input to be more careful in choosing the path of life. Spiritual seekers who are often have problem with mouth and throat, they are suggested to be more careful in delivering their words.

In this approach, spiritual travelers are continuously learn from within. A series of steps that lead someone to be totally at home within their own body. As soon as someone feel at home in the body, one will have direct experience of life as a poetry of peace.
