If we do not understand the difference between the Ego and the Higher Self, then the Ego can take over our thoughts and ruin the manifestation process entirely. The Higher Self is the Soul, or true self, and the Ego is an illusion, or false self. The Ego exists inside us all, and part of the Law of Attraction involves learning how to ignore the Ego and instead connect to the Higher Self.
Everything and everyone is a manifestation of the Universe. Therefore if we want to use the Law of Attraction to manifest, we need to align with the Universe so that we can co-create. The Higher Self is merged with the Universe, and for this reason aligning with the Higher Self is the doorway to the Universe and divine manifestation.
The Higher Self and the Ego
Your Higher Self is the purest part of you that is your divine essence, or soul. It is who you really are, and by aligning all your thoughts, words and actions with your Higher Self, you can break karmic patterns and find your true purpose in this world. When we are aligned with the Universe, we are embodying our Higher Self, because the Higher Self is part of the Universe. Karma and the illusion of third dimensional reality causes the ego to surface, and the ego is the part of us that we need to overcome in order to ascend.
Our lifelong mission is to shed the false ego self and become our Higher Self here on earth. The ego projects the illusion that we are all separate individuals but the truth is that we are all one. Each of us is an expression of the Universe, and so is everything that we experience with the senses. This is the reason that we are able to manifest by aligning our frequency with our desires, because all desires are a part of the Universe and everything is connected. When you manifest it is because you are aligned with your Higher Self, and your Higher Self is an extension of the Universe.
Well-known artists and humanitarians are an incredible example of people who are in alignment with their Higher Selves, and as a result are living out their destinies. Artists and humanitarians are channelling the Divine through their work, because the Universe speaks in a language of love, expressed in images and sounds. Although these individuals may not have reached enlightenment, they are certainly aligned with their soul path, which is part of the journey that leads to enlightenment. Many times in life we feel lost, and this is because we have wandered off from our soul path and been distracted by the ego.
Have you ever done or said something that you regret, and felt like you were not yourself at the time? Such experiences are a clear example of the false self, or ego, taking over and leading us astray. The ego resonates with all that is negative such as fear, hate, selfishness, materialism, jealousy, pride and denial. On the other hand, the Higher Self has the wisdom of the Universe and can serve as a compass that will guide us back onto our soul path. By listening to your heart and following your intuition you can align your actions with your Higher Self and fulfil your destiny.
Meditation to Connect with Your Higher Self
Before we are born our souls choose the circumstances into which we are born in order to learn the necessary lessons to overcome our karmic debts. When we are reincarnated into third dimensional reality, we face challenges that are attracted to us in alignment with either the frequency of Ego or Higher Self. These challenges are an opportunity for spiritual growth and we spend many lifetimes in pursuit of enlightenment, in order to ascend and rejoin with the Universe for all of eternity. If we are aligned with the Ego, we will make wrong decisions that lead us away from our soul path, gathering more karma. However, by learning to consciously connect with the Higher Self, we can ask for guidance and follow the signs to our spiritual destiny.
Begin by finding a quiet spot where you won’t be disturbed. You need to be completely relaxed and to use all of your focus as you listen for the whispers of your Higher Self. Try lighting some incense and playing some relaxing music to get the mood right. Close your eyes and breathe in and out deeply as you ask your Higher Self to appear. Visualize what your Higher Self looks like, and imagine their presence radiating Divine wisdom and love. Your Higher Self is the part of you that is closest to the Universe and so you are meeting with the essence of All That Is Good. Walk over to your Higher Self and take a seat next to them. When you are ready, ask your Higher Self for guidance regarding any decision or question you might have.
You can ask your Higher Self for help with anything whether you need inspiration, encouragement or advice. Your Higher Self is all-knowing, so be patient and listen carefully for them to speak. Focus on the deepest feelings within your heart and speak your truth to your Higher Self. If you feel lost and are not sure where to turn, your Higher Self can show you the way. Once you have reconnected with your Higher Self through meditation a few times, you will begin to align with them and will be able to hear their wisdom without meditation. Your Higher Self will begin to send you signs and whisper messages to you throughout the day. Your mood will be lifted and you will vibrate at a higher level of consciousness, taking your manifesting abilities to the next level and realigning you with your soul path.
