The higher self

[nickel]

Hey guys
a few of you have written about "your higher self" - I haven't really heard that term before - What do you mean?
Thanx stax

To me (though i haven't talked about it) my higher self is the non-animal part of me. The animal me is the baby-haver, the eater, the pooper. The higher self is where my thinking comes from, where my Ideals live and what to some extent controls my animal self.

My higher self thinks, my animal self does.

To me, my higher self is my spirit essence, the bit that's connected to God/Universe/Source. The bit that remembers what I came into this life for. The bit that whispers wisdom to me when i need it.

When I talk of the higher self, I think of the part of me that is connected to God and the universe around me. This is the spiritual, intuitive self. I have a tendancy to think in four - the emotional, physical/sensual/sexual, mental and spiritual.

Gargy - I have never thought in four before!
It's usually three - physcial /mental /spiritual.
I tend to think of a human being's virtuality as a venn diagram with perhaps emotional being the overlapped bits of physcial, mental and spiritual, but I like the idea of emotinal being more than just a physical, evolutionary response.. hmm...
