What Is The Higher Self?
"Throughout the ages, Ancient Wisdom has taught the existence of something that transcends everything we know, and yet is an integral part of our very being. It has been referred to with many titles: Guardian Angel, Inner Genius, Higher Self.”What Is The Higher Self?

If our own brain is beyond our understanding, how much more mysterious and incredible is this strange being we call the"Higher Self.” What can it be? What"self"can possibly be higher than the one you are already familiar with? If this"self"Is truly higher than what we are normally aware of, how can it be truly called"self"? Let us attempt a definition:
The Higher Self is that part of you that connects you directly to the spiritual realms. It is eternal, infinitely wise and transcends your everyday consciousness. It is in touch with the Divine because it is part of it. Attaining knowledge of the Higher Self, and its depths of inner wisdom, is the goal of the Spiritual Quest in all its many guises throughout the world, and throughout history.
Thus, you are not simply the total of your conscious and subconscious. There is a part of you that transcends both. It exceeds anything you know with your present awareness. It is beyond anything you can possibly know through normal rational thought. You are connected to the Divine, and this is where it manifests.
To most people, this concept may seem highly unlikely, or even absurd. However, a growing body of scientific evidence also suggests that there IS a source of superior intelligence within
all of us. There is an inner capacity that most us are unaware of, and are largely unable to access.
In the Indian philosophy of Samkhya, the term for this higher consciousness, which pervades the entire universe, is Purusa. It is believed to be free of the limitations of space and time,
and is also uncaused by anything external to itself. It is free of both pleasure and pain. It is above thought.”
