Self-Actualization

Accessing Your Higher Self

By  | 

When we talk about accessing your higher Self we’re not spouting spiritual mumbo jumbo but instead talking about the human process of self-actualization. This process is the unfolding of your unique potentialities through your chosen endeavors, it’s turning these potentialities into actualities that can themselves continue to be built upon as you move upon your personal continuum of growth and mastery.

In our philosophical construct of human existence people can’t be happy in their lives unless opportunities abound for them to access their higher Selves, to turn what is potentially there into something really there and become that which they know they are at the deepest levels of their being. This is creation in its purest human form, not the creation of this or that external entity but rather the creation of Self.

Most people want to be happy but the error most people make is in believing that happiness can be achieved through any other route than self-actualization. They focus all their energy and attention on an external object, on money, power, popularity, success, etc. and end up becoming slaves to that external object, machines whose only function is to bring the desired external circumstance about.

We can’t be separated from our external environments so of course we have to pay attention to them. But the central question should always be, “What are the specific conditions necessary for my becoming, for the unfolding of  that which is uniquely me?” When this question becomes the guiding force of life the final outcome is usually environmental conditions that would be considered suitable from anyone’s perspective, including those grasping for money, power, popularity, success, etc. But the money, power, popularity, and success are secondary outgrowths of self-actualization not the primary goals.

Internal Feeling Of Emptiness All of the external indicators of success in the world, indicators like wealth, power, popularity, and prestige, can’t make up for the internal feeling of emptiness. Actually it’s exactly this internal feeling of emptiness that compels many to chase after those external indicators in a desperate attempt to fill up the existential hole where Self should […]...
  2. Religion Everyone is religious, it’s just that not everyone is aware of it. When we define religion as a system of orientation with an object of devotion we avoid falling into the trap of only calling those systems of orientation religious that happen to have a deity as their object of devotion. Some consciously believe they […]...
  3. Become Aware Of Your Life Intentions We can think of life intentions as similar to setting intentions at the beginning of a yoga class. They might not exist in the forefront of conscious awareness all the time but they do set the tone, the tone over the next hour in the case of a yoga intention or the tone over the […]...
  4. Define What Success Is You might think the definition of success is self-evident but is it your definition or your culture’s definition? The answer to that question has profound ramifications for your life path since success is obviously the sought after entity while failure is avoided at all costs. In our individualistic, fiercely competitive culture, success is most commonly […]...
  5. Unhappiness And Existential Isolation It’s as easy to feel isolated in a crowded room as it is to feel isolated alone in a cave in the middle of the desert. When it comes to beating back painful existential isolation and the resulting deep unhappiness it’s not just about the frequency of interactions with other human beings, it’s also about […]...

Resistance To Authority “Human History began with an act of disobedience and it is not unlikely that it will be terminated by an act of obedience.” – Erich Fromm In our culture we find that resistance to authority is often classified as pathological, as a criteria for dysfunction.

  7. Hopelessness Is Internal There is a widespread fallacy that hopelessness has to do with external variables, that if this or that factor in the environment were different then everything would be okay. But hopelessness is primarily an internal phenomenon. What it comes down to at the deepest levels of being is giving up on personality integration, giving up […]...
  8. Power Have you ever wondered what kinds of lives people like Hitler, Stalin, or Idi Amin would have led if they had not risen to the highest seat of power and been given the opportunity to cause so much human suffering? The answer from a psychological point of view is pretty simple. They would have structured […]...
  9. Pick A Hobby And Go For It To Find Fulfillment If a sense of fulfillment has evaded you there is a readily apparent cultural reason why. We tend to equate fulfillment with financial success, or better said we believe achieving financial success will bring fulfillment in its wake. This means that we make career choices compelled not by what really moves us at the deeper […]...
  10. Boredom Boredom is a real problem in our modern world, which on the surface seems rather strange since never in the history of humanity have there been more available diversions to engage our attention. But the fact that people are still capable of being bored all the time despite all those outlets should clue you in […]...
  11. People Do Change It’s impossible to be someone you’re not but it is possible to become who you really are. Those who are absolutely certain that people don’t change are projecting; what they mean is that they themselves haven’t changed, even if they desperately wanted to. From their own subjective viewpoint it’s obvious that the same holds true […]...
  12. Choosing The Right Career Path It’s a fact that many people who choose their own career paths don’t have much passion for or even interest in what they do for a living. The most important psychological reason why is that societal forces are powerful, all too powerful. They usually have more say over conscious thought and intention than our own […]...
  13. Happiness Is A Byproduct Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.” – William S. Burroughs If you ask people what they want out of life the answer is almost always “To be happy.” That’s all well and good but the problem is their lack of insight about […]...
  14. Keeping At The Worthwhile Undertakings Any worthwhile undertaking is going to be a long, challenging road and you’ll probably be tempted to quit many, many times during the journey.

  16. Money And Happiness A documentary called ‘Happy’ explores some of the psychological factors in the search for and attainment of happiness. We will focus on one of the more interesting assertions made in the movie and then use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs to help explain it. It’s no secret that many people equate money with happiness. They structure […]...
  17. Faith Religionists often make the mistake of thinking that only believers in a higher power have access to or knowledge of faith. But from the existential point of view, where growth and self-actualization are the primary life tasks, faith is an absolutely essential element in the journey and those concerned with their self-actualization must cultivate it […]...
  18. All You Need To Do Is Give Your Best There are just as many people who take credit for accomplishments when many of the necessary components for a successful outcome were outside of their power to control or influence as there are people who wallow in failure even though many of the things that went wrong were outside of their power to control or […]...
  19. Follow Your Own Path Don’t let your important life decisions be determined by people with their own agendas or by those who only have a passing interest in what you have going on. It’s tempting to do because it frees you of the heavy burden of existential responsibility, but if you don’t follow your own path you will end […]...
  20. More Time Does Not Mean Higher Quality A cognitive bias most of share is that if it takes a long time to create then its quality must be high and if it takes a short time to create then its quality must be low. This is actually a pretty good rule of thumb in many cases since as creatures bounded by time […]...
