Depending on your lens, practice, or tradition, the word self can imply separation or can imply union and interdependence. In this episode, I will speak about the self and the journey of self-mastery as a return to God and reunion with all of life.  On this journey, I have come to define three pillars that I use as guiding principles: self devotion, self fulfillment, and self transcendence. With these principles, I am learning to orient myself towards knowing myself as I am, filling myself with unconditional love, and becoming more than I have been before.
