Dear list,
A member wrote the above privately to me.
Of course I wouldn't take offense to a very fair question! My response to Shankar was really a response to a series of what I felt were religious rather than "spiritual" posts. I'm sorry if anyone felt offended.
To answer your question of "self" with an extremely shorthand answer, my experiences have given me to understand that to believe or not to believe in a higher power is presumptuous. The energy is vast, all encompassing and everywhere, which of course means it is "us" as well as outside us. It is part of all just as we are part of All. It is intelligent in that we are intelligent. My experiences lead me to believe that "God" is hard wired into the human brain and that we all interpret that in many ways, including religious and scientific.
The voices I experienced "I AM THAT I AM" etc. seemed to me to come from a place in the consciousness that is not ordinarily accessible to our day to day brain. IMO to speak of God separates us from that very energy. It is dualistic rather than unitive. Others, of course, feel quite differently. It's a very old question! :))
I am surrendering to my Self.
Love, Hillary
