Evolution of Consciusness(Post 27)-Multiple 'I'

In the last post, an assumed ‘I’ (I not to be I), is introduced to act as an observer of

Multiple ‘I’s or ‘Personalities’.

This ‘I’ make ‘Self-Remembering’ or detached observation possible.

Now, one can identify and separate personalities.

-         Controllable and uncontrollable

-         Conducive to the ‘work’ and resisting the work

-         Imaginary needs, images etc.

Added to this, one can ask for other’s opinion.

Because, life is relationship, it is through relationship, one can really see what one is.

Especially, others can easily identify the chief feature of one’s personality.

Note:

Here, one should remember, it is not analysis of one’s personality but knowing the

personality.

For instance, if one is disappointed.

Analysis is looking at causes ( EXTERNAL)  of disappointment.

By Knowing, we mean to look at that particular ‘I’ (INTERNAL) that is disappointed – its

features such as likes, dislikes etc could be  responsible for the disappointment.

 

Back to observation,

Though in the beginning, it takes effort to ‘Self-Remember’.

The more one remember oneself, the more one will understand the personality.

It works both ways,

The more one understand the personality, the more one remember one self,

because what prevents ‘Self-Remembering’ is the mechanical nature of the personality.

Over time,

the observing ‘I’ grow stronger and the mechanical nature of Personalities  become

Weaker (Very observation weakens the mechanical aspect)

The uncontrollable and mechanical (not conscious) ‘I’s become controllable and

Conscious.

Having control does not mean,

We can eliminate a Personality altogether; because we know it is part of our survival

Strategy and also they are interconnected.

It is about being aware and controlling them like a tool.

As we gain control over more and more ‘I’s , finally we will have control over

the Ego itself.

Because, Ego-Self is the repository of all the ‘I’s and Personalities.

The Ego-Self, which controlled us for so long like a Master, is now under our control.

That is, it is no longer the Master but a Servant.

Consequence is,

‘Ego-Self’, a derived and cultivated entity from the EXTERNAL world,

That controlled one’s life with its ‘Personal’ EXTERNAL VALUES no longer

occupies its place.

This makes way for so long suppressed ‘Universal’ INNATE ESSENCE to take the place

and influence life, leading to emergence of True Self .

That is,

Internal values of ESSENCE can appear only at the expense of external values of Ego.

True-Self can appear only at the expense of Ego-Self.
