Is the Self an Other-Self?

[native]

There are times when speaking about the higher-self providing catalyst to the current self, they refer to that current self as other-self from the higher-self's perspective. It does seem that the various aspects of the self is the other-self.

This idea is tied into karma as Ankh points out, because if you can't look backwards (which is what the higher-self does), and forgive that 'other-self', further learning is needed. But you really have to make yourself conscious of who you are, what possibly contributed to the action or the development of that trait, and then accept/forgive.
