Your True Self

James introduces Season 2 the next 10 episodes that focus on Self-coaching. The pain and hurt or happiness and peace that comes from different ways of coaching yourself. 

We sometimes still hold old beliefs and evaluation that result in us being unkind to others. James shares how he was shocked this week to become aware he was judging someone based on old beliefs. Listen to see how he learned to be kind. 

James is open about the difference between seeing other falsely and as who they really are. We have learned to see others as a separate consciousness. Seeing who others are in truth is a miracle. Are you ready to live a miracle? Below is a blog post inspired by the blog.

Seeing Others Truly

I have learned to see others falsely: as separate consciousness, hiding somewhere behind those eyes, those balls of jelly.

I sometimes try to wrap up this separate view in nice ways: romantically when I gaze into my partner’s eyes, spiritually during an eye gazing exercise or simply going along with the idea ‘eyes are the windows of the soul’.

A miracle is needed to see others truly.

A Course of Love and quantum physics looks at the relationship between the observer and the observed and questions the false learning ‘the idea that what was observable was “other than” he who did the observing.’

The truth is that you are notother than me!

I remember being uncomfortable after an exercise, working in pairs to see the other person with the vision of my true self. During the feedback people said they experienced ‘you are me’ or ‘I am you.’ I thought this all was a bit much and I spoke up and said: ‘I would not use those words to describe my experience.’

I struggled for years to understand terms such as ‘unity’ and ‘unity and relationship’ in A Course of Love. They seemed like nice ideas, but their significance remained a mystery to me.

Now, in this moment writing these words to you. I know you are separate from me in time and space but at the same time you are not. I know you have a separate physical expression than me, a body that is unique, a world view that is yours. And at the same time, I know you share the same Self as me.

The deeper I look within the more you become me. There is a Self ‘inside’ that when I pay attention to it, we are the same. I have a choice about what to do with this truth. I can go on as normal and behave as if it is something that doesn’t make a difference to the way I live or I can let the truth inform my whole life and my goal naturally becomes to live this true Self in my everyday life.

‘Your observance of the truth of your brothers and sisters is the miracle.’
