It is always a positive thing to look for your real self, because even when you do it more than once, you still have the feeling that you are not wasting your time, besides, it is one of the few times that you feel that you are doing something useful.
However, the search for one’s true self is not always successful.
Why?
Because too often, the way the individual tends to see himself is based on the perceptions of others, so when he gets closer to seeing his real essence, it frightens him, so he moves away. He finds it too demanding to live totally in line with how he really is.
Nevertheless, this takes nothing away from the beauty of the search, because anyway, the desire to do it is there.
When you begin the search for your real self, you must be aware that if you stop, if you are afraid and tired, and you let yourselves be conditioned, you are harming yourselves.
It is different for the person who has no interest in self knowledge and finding his true self: this person can do whatever he likes, he obliges others to accept him for what he thinks he is, often he is unsatisfied, sad, even angry, but does not think that through self knowledge he could improve his emotional state.
This is a special case.
On the other hand, the person who wishes to know himself better, begins a path of studying his inner self, his thought and feelings, but if he stops, the consequence will greatly harm him.
Let me put it in a better way, he would commit an injustice towards his Energy which is urging him to understand himself: it is his Energy that is encouraging him to enter into contact with his true self, so that he will be able then to give the best of himself.
If you disregard all this, you are damaging the part of you that is most elevated.
To leave a task half way through out of Fear, conditioning or laziness, is something that must not happen, because the damage caused by this behavior is very great.
Many illnesses occur exactly when a person who has already begun this process, but through Fear, refuses to continue his search. The illness does not leave him until he reaches his self again, and is prepared to question himself.
It is wise to begin this search for self knowledge, and continue with serenity, tranquility, joy and trust in Life, who will allow you to discover marvelous aspects of your selves.
