Learning to Identify With Self

It's amazing how when we find beings to truly love, that truly love us back, it calls to the surface everything about our selves, true selves and false selves, to the surface. The power of being loved, and loving back, causes such a shift that usually we do not know how to handle it. The foundations of our world are so dearly rocked, and yet at the same time new ones are being formed, more solidly and strongly than the last. The shift is so sudden and so easy that it comes to most of us as such a surprise. It's like one moment you're there, happy and content on your own, doing your own thing, you blink, and next thing you know there is this beautiful creation standing right in front of you. You follow with no hesitation for you have never seen anything so lovely, so gorgeous, so right, and slowly you realize without judgement that before was only the shell of happy, before was only the shell of contentment. You do not care where it leads you, so long as you can follow beside it where ever it goes.  At some point you are bound to look away from it, for even a second, and it's then that your false self realizes that this beautiful creature is creating power for your true self, your false self tries to slam on the breaks. It feeds you lies, and as it is so good at doing, creates for you doubt. Doubt in whatever this is. Doubt that you can find this, that you deserve this, doubt that you have earned this. The interesting thing is that your True Self knows that in true love, there is no entitlement, there is no deserving, there is no earning. True love simply is True Love. It has no chains, no attachments, You love and you are loved. It will fill you up and overflow from you in the purest, most amazing form, and every life that you touch will see it and be inspiried by it.
True love, as I've said, causes a shift in the sense of self. Instantly we begin to relate to our true selves on such an intimate level that our false self panics. The process begins with sorting through all the messages that our selves are showing us. Our true selves will offer to us happiness and understanding, quietly content to sit by and let us discover the path for ourselves. Our false selves throw things at us. bashing and crashing until most of us over look our True selves in favour of the louder, more demanding, needy identity of our False Selves. We become so programed to listening to this loud pushy force that we slowly being to forget that our true selves exist. The more attention we feed to the False self the bigger and more powerful it gets. When we begin to realize that we are unhappy, that something always feels off, wrong or twisted no matter what we do, our false self flares up like the dictator that we have allowed it to become. It tells us that we are horrible, unworthy, of course we feel this way, look at what pitiful creatures we are. Who are WE to question? Who are WE to deserve better than this? Look at us now, whimpering and shivering, unhappy and alone. Of course you stand alone, for WHO would stand with you? Our false self tells us all these things. It denies us and brings us down, keeping us teathered and chained to our programed ideas of what should be. It stuffs us with its ideologies, and like so many before us, we accept them, take them as inevitable and right. WE DO NOT QUESTION. And there our true self sits, shining in the corner of our being. A quiet revolution simply waiting for us to be ready, for us to see, for us to QUESTION. Only then will it rise up, rise up and show each of us a  higher version of ourselves. A passive resistance to all things of the False self.
