The Writ of Three: Three Selves, One Being


Parts of the Self:
 
We as humans hold an odd, yet useful distinction within the world of mortal creatures. We possess three subtle selves that vibrate harmonically with the primary Gishur (patterns) of the Melam (divine light). The lower self that vibrates in time with the living or mortal world; the middle self that vibrates to the elemental realm; and the higher self that vibrates with the eternal realm.

the seal of the three selves also called the seal of the true will

Middle-Self:

The lowerself takes in information through the five senses. The information is translated and sent to the conscious sense of awareness, the sense of "I". The middle self is our mental interface with the world around us. The lowerself takes it's basic level of Zi and transmutes it to the level of life force used by the sense of 'I' (the Zini). This middle Zi is the Zi that is used in waking daily communication with the world around us. It is the carrier of thought and emotion to others.

The sense of 'I' is composed of the left brain logical functions and the right brain intuitive functions; the middle self is centered in the head from a perceptional standpoint and is the center of the short-term memory. The lines of communication that are used to send perceptual information from the five senses also allow the sending of images and intuitive sensations from the subconscious to the left and right brain.

The middle self takes in and processes ideas via a system of polar opposition. When, for instance, the concept of height is encountered, the middle self seeks within its net of experience to find a polar opposite (in this case depth). The opposing pole that is encountered causes a more thorough understanding of the concept taken in. The middle self uses the opposing pole to make a comparative measurment of the phenomenon that is perceived.

The reconciliation of polar opposites brings knowledge, and it is the Zini that is used to reconcile opposites. The zini is released to the middle self via thought, emotion, and communication at a middle self level such as speech or sign language.

The bipolar perspective of the middle self causes a very subtle level of dissonance when we attempt to focus on a given task. We can take the task of trying to hold a single thought in the mind's eye. Initially the attempt to hold a single thought will in and of itself generate a thought of holding the single thought. This in turn will generate the polar opposite of failure to hold only the initial thought and that thought actually interfere with the process.

The saving grace for the adept is, "that the lower self has a single point perspective that can be utilized to create a one pointed drive towards a given task." Thus communication between the lower and middle selves facilitates the ability to turn a task over to the lowerself for completion--because the middleself is the root point of initiation for the Gishur, while the lowerself is the completer of the Gishur.
While the middle self can communicate to the lowerself, it cannot communicate to the higherself without difficulty. This is due to the tremendous effects of the higher self's level of Zi on the middle self. When the higher self sends a dose of Zimelam to the middle self, the middle self's faculties become impaired and subdued, and the lowerself and middleself in conjunction enter a state of rapture, a fit of spiritual ecstasy accompanied by physical sensations of an overwhelming nature. This state of gnosis (complete knowledge) with the higher self must be met slowly in a step by step fashion till one can attain this state safely. The primary method used by the adept to gain this knowledge of the guardian self is to learn increasingly potent forms of awareness that acclimate the middle self to the highest forms of inner communication.

Lowerself:

The lowerself is composed of the body, the subconscious, and the long term memories. The lowerself is responsible for all the autonomic functions such as breathing, pulse and metabolism; and is also responsible for all the Zi that is taken in by the body. The lowerself takes in the Melam in the form of Zi via breath, the digestion of food, and when we interact with others on a physical level. The Zi utilized by the lowerself, can be altered at the vibratory level by the lowerself, in order to vibrate at the levels of the other two selves.
 
The energy body that the lower self possesses overlaps the physical body and is perceivable via the exercises given above. This subtle body can extend it's self beyond the physical form in order to deliver Zi to the body of another either to heal or to cause harm as in our form of martial arts (Tibir).
Whenever we touch an object or perceive it through one of the other five senses, we make a permanent shadow connection to that thing; thus the more contact we have with something, the more powerful the connection is. This shadow level connection can be used to receive information, and also to transmit information to the object; and via this connection the subconscious reads much more from the environment than is consciously perceived. Some of this perception is transmitted to the right brain in the form of intuition and feelings.

The subconscious can communicate to both the conscious and the super conscious, and if this communication is engaged, nurtured, and strengthened it allows all the parts to evolve in unison.
When one person's lower self communicates with another person's lower self, it does so via the shadow connection; but it also communicates via subtle or extreme body language such as facial expression, posture, 'wordless sounds', and pheromones.

The lowerself functions much like a computer: in that it carries on the autonomic functions of the body, such as heart beat, respiration, the blink reflex, etc. It is the part of us that remains 'conscious' while our minds sleep. It is the seat of the somatic reflexes (pleasure, pain, elation, and depression).

The lower self acts as a universal recorder, filing away everything that we perceive both consciously and subconsciously.
All the emotions that we feel, originate in the body; and therefore, are part and parcel with the lowerself. The emotions act as a language for the lowerself. Sometimes the emotions are the lowerself's exspression of the middle self's state, but more often the emotions are due to the lowerself's condition.

The harmonic unison of the lowerself, gives it a uni-directional approach to the world around it. This single mindedness allows the lower self to relentlessly pursue it's goals without distraction or division.
