James-2November 12, 2004 The first step in self-enlightenment is to be yourself – your true self. Do not emulate others in their thinking or life style, be yourself.Yes, you may wish to study how others think and act out their earthly experience, but it is YOUR earthly experience that should concern you the most. Self-enlightenment is knowing your soul, your mind, and your body.Your soul is unique. There is no other soul exactly like your soul in the entire universe. Even souls from multiple births are different. Know and accept the fact that your soul is unique and that it wishes to remain unique – it is not interested in being like any other soul. The soul is not interested in peer-pressure. The soul is only interested in experiencing earthly life in its own, unique way. Your mind is also unique, but in a slightly different way. Your mind desires to experience earthly life with the soul and the body, but it is most interested in stretching itself so that it can experience earthly life in its own unique way. If allowed by the soul and the body, the mind thinks outside of the box and so it opens new doors for both the soul and the body. Know and accept the fact that the mind will lead your soul and your body into new, strange, and exciting territory. But also know that the soul needs to have strong reins less the mind, in its enthusiastic approach to experience life in a unique way, leads the soul and body into danger.Your body is unique also. Even the bodies of those of multiple births are unique – they may look identical and act in identical ways, but they are indeed unique. Know and accept the fact that the body is unique and that, for the most part, the body is only needed so that the soul and the mind can experience earthly life. The body cannot function without the soul and the mind, and the soul and the mind cannot experience earthly life without the body. Know and understand the functions of YOUR unique soul, mind and body and work towards their functioning as one – as one team – as one unique creation of God. Know and fully understand this and become self-enlightened. James |
