How Does Self-Transcendence Relate to Being?

Posted on February 13, 2007

The other day (February 8, 2007) I received an email from a person asking me how Self-Transcendence Relates to Being. So this page is in reply to that email.

The Answer:

Being

The page I wrote about Being is only part of what Being is and it's a good start for a person to begin the path of Being. Which is being in the moment, because when you are being in the moment you are able to internalize what you are doing. Such as if you were reading a book and your mind was wondering on other things, you would not be able to keep your attention on what your reading, and that would cause for you to possibly miss an important piece of information that your Higher Self or your Christself was trying to give you.

So, if you were unable to keep your attention on just reading what you were reading, then you would want to stop reading and take care of what you were thinking about, and then go back to reading when your able to keep your attention on what you're reading.

Self-Transcendence

Self-Transcendence can be best explained this way. Lets say you were raised in a Christian home where you learned about God and you grew up having a strong Love for God. All throughout your life, you always set time out every day to read the Bible and pray to God and Thank God for giving you life, for his blessings, and you finish by asking God to Bless all your loved ones.

But even though your dedicated and you Love God, you find yourself thinking about what more there is to God then what you have learned about Him from the Bible. And these thoughts keep building up in your mind and you start to have these inner pulling feelings, like something is tugging at you too really wanting to know more about God. So, you pray to God and say God if you're trying to direct me to something or to do something, show me the way.

Two weeks go by, and you decide to see what new books is at your local bookstore and you see a religious section so you decide to check out the books they have and there's a book that catches your eye. You pick the book up and after skimming through a few of the pages, you set it down and start to walk away. That tugging feeling starts up and you think that's weird, and you remember that prayer you gave a couple weeks before about that same feeling your having now. You choose to ignore it and think its got to be something else. But the further away you become from that book the stronger the tugging feeling gets.

So, you have thoughts that maybe God is trying to give you a sign. So, you give in and buy the book. You take it home and start reading it. And to your surprise you become hooked on the book and your having these Ah Ha moments from just about every page you read.

You know that what you're reading is the Truth and you feel more closer to God then you ever had in your life. The Love and Joy in your Being is just over flowing and you want to know if there are more books like that one. So, you go back to the bookstore and you find another book that catches your attention, you buy it and go home and read it. And as you read, you find that you're getting more of those Ah Ha moments and you're soaking in all this information you're reading.

You find that these books have changed your entire outlook on life and you have a higher understanding about God and you feel more closer to God then you ever have, you also have a higher understanding of the Bible and about Life, and so you find that these books have completely changed your life and you feel a 100 times more Love for God, for people and for Life. And this change in you causes for you to want to learn more truths that give you a more higher understanding about everything your heart desires.

This would have been the beginning of the path of Self-Transcendence for you, which it started by you having the conscious thoughts that there has to be more, which led to you being open minded and being able to get those signals from your Higher Self, which eventually led you to the first book you read that grabbed your attention and then changed your life.

Now, if you were not being while you were reading, you would have missed the important information you got from those books that caused for you to get a higher understanding, but since you were being, you were able to Internalize and then you became what you Internalized so you are now living from a higher state of consciousness. And if you look to where you were at before reading those two books, and see the changes it did for you, you will see that you don't live your life at that old state of consciousness you had before.

The Path of Self-Transcendence and Being

It's important to work on staying in Being as your working on Self-Transcendence, because people in general take the same approach to the path of Self-Transcendence as they do in all other areas of their lives. Such as people seem to always be in a rush, and on the go no matter what they are doing.

And even though Self-Transcendence begins with an awakening, and that can give you the feeling of instant gratification in feeling that you achieved your goal in a very short amount of time. It can cause for you to have expectations of having more quick awakenings at times you feel it should happen. But every time you have a new higher understanding, it will take time to be able to Internalize it and then become what you Internalize.

So, as you are transcending your consciousness you are doing so in a gradual way so that you are still Being every step of the way. When you are Being you are also opening yourself up to receiving signs from God, your Higher Self and from your Christ Self that will lead you to what you need that will help you take that next step of Self-Transcendence.

A higher understanding about Self-Transcendence is it's never ending, because life is about transcending itself to Be More, and so the path of Self-Transcendence becomes your life where you don't even think about transcending, because that's who you are, who is always moving higher in consciousness and by that you are Being in every moment.
