The mysterious nature of time

[kycahi]

I think the Higher Self gives to us a "human" feel to our universe. Our LOO says that the One is the super-super intelligent creator of everything, too magnificent to comprehend in its totality. Anyone who was brought up in a religion where "God" listens to our thoughts and prayers might feel a loss of that closeness to the Creator. The HS is absolutely the right substitute for that because not only is it close and intimate, it actually IS each of us. I can feel that intimacy when I need to, and I have no difficulty calling upon it for a little help.

In other words, the HS is our personal and feeling window into what may seem to be an impersonal vista of the infinity and obdurateness of the ONE! Isn't it, kycahi?

Just so, Confused. I tend to "leave the HS out of it" unless I feel stuck with doing something or strongly depressed or unhappy. Then I'll think my email like, "HS, am I supposed to be this bad off now, or can you give me a nudge?"

Another person may want to have nearly a running dialogue with HS, or at least a monologue, to have that feeling of closeness with the divine. I would just warn against this latter approach lest it end up being an opening to an undesired STS entity or a weakening toward schizophrenia.

In any event, I think you will get nice results from your HS if you try hard first and don't ask for much. Then be grateful.
