Chapter Two
The Significant Self
Oh how we have forgotten our Significant Self. You have kept it hidden in the body ignoring the subtle prods to remember who you are. Some of you only start remembering when sickness or death is upon you. What is the Significant Self? It is the connection we have to everything. It is our multidimensional self continually expanding and contracting. Drop the cloaks of separation. It is time to become familiar with your Significant Self again. For too long you have been living with the Insignificant Self limiting your view of life and being tossed from one experience to another riding on the waves of limiting thoughts, emotions and projections. When you are the Significant Self there is no duality. What we perceive to be good or bad does not exist. The world we create is what we perceive. The mass consciousness of today denies the Significant Self because the world of separation would cease to exist if the Significant Self became mass consciousness.
Within this lifetime each one of you may have an experience of your Significant Self, which you ignore because the experience scares you. It may feel so overwhelming that you brush it aside as insignificant and continue on the treadmill of life. Mass consciousness does not recognise the oneness of life. It only takes a few people to swim the other way and the Significant Self is birthed. Where each one is connected and the light of their being is extended to touch all things. You have forgotten how powerful your Significant Self is and as you step into absolute consciousness a knowing occurs triggering your heart to open and embrace all your parts. When you love all of your self the heart experiences love everywhere. Your love is not limited to one person or situation but encompasses everything and this is the birthing of absolute love, which leads to absolute consciousness.
The Significant Self is your omnipresent or Buddha self. As you extend from the body different energetic layers awaken and strengthen your true nature. These layers are your multidimensional self. Your multidimensional self is formless, eternal and unlimited birthed from the six elements. Each element makes up the parts of the body, Mother Earth and spirit and this is our Significant Self. To be aware of each element is important to understanding the Significant Self as multidimensional. As you experience each element within your body the connection to Mother Earth and spirit are experienced. Connected to each of the elements are emotions of the Insignificant Self, which can dominate and hide the emotions of being significant. Each of the six elements when balanced allows the Significant Self to emerge and fly again into the limitlessness of being. These elements are experienced in life and death as the cycle of form and formlessness.
The first element you are going to look at is earth, which is experienced at the sole of the feet and the base chakra. These parts of the body allow you to be anchored to Mother Earth grounded into her embrace and subtle energy. The emotion that connects us to the Insignificant Self is anger at the feet and avarice at the base chakra. The desire for possessions and objects secure you to being separate and basking in the wants of the Insignificant Self. When desires are not achieved the emotion of anger surfaces as we stamp our feet likened to a temper tantrum. The element of water is experienced in the stomach. When water is taken into the body it ends up in the stomach. The emotion of the Insignificant Self is ignorance a lack of awareness to your true self and being responsible for emotions. The third element is fire, which is the human realm of the heart. Fire is our passion for being and opening the heart to allow the fire to spread and connect to everything. The emotion of the insignificant self is the doubt the uncertainty about the truth. When you are uncertain and doubt yourself the heart is closed off and love is limited to certain people and situations. Doubt is a strong emotion that creates uncertainty about life and death.
The fourth element is air, which is experienced at the throat and sacral chakras. The air goes into your lungs and back out through the passage of your throat. The fertility and abundance of life are connected to your sacral chakra. Air enables us to sing and speak truth. The emotion of the Insignificant Self is jealousy and scarcity. These emotions are feelings of resentment, bitterness or hostility because they have something you don’t. Jealousy and scarcity cause a feeling of separation towards others and situations. The fifth element is God’s Breath, which is experienced at the third eye a point just between the eyebrows. This is where the body experiences the space between form and that no thing is separate. The emotion of the Insignificant Self is disconnection a feeling of being separate from something or someone else. There is a lack of connection because of the differences in form whether people or situations. The sixth element is I am that I am, which is experienced at the crown chakra at the top of the head. This is the body’s connection to all that is and you are formless and limitless. This closes after birth and may open when you exit your body depending on what entry your light exits from. The emotion of the Insignificant Self is pride and is experienced at the crown chakra it’s where you experience a high opinion of ones own dignity, importance, merit or superiority.
In this third dimensional space of duality you have the Significant Self (multidimensional) and the Insignificant Self (limited to the physical presence of the body). When the emotions of the Insignificant Self arise the Significant Self is less able to be experienced.
