What is the higher self and how can we improve communication and understanding, and how does “free will” fit in to the picture?
<quote>
The higher self is you. It wants to become whole and integrated. Therefore, it is bound to help you in every possible way that you are willing to accept. The higher self's foremost concern is for your highest good.
Higher self communicates in a subtle fashion in most cases and resorts to drastic forms of communication or even silence when there is no other choice. Many times we have used the gifts of our human potential without recognizing them and in so doing have taken them for granted. The voice of the higher self is one of those gifts we have taken for granted. It is our soft and subtle voice that comes to alert us to potential dangers or calmly helps us find our keys after we have madly searched the house.
Higher self is also the voice of our higher reason and our creative inspiration. When we hear our own subtle voice of inspiration, it becomes our choice to listen and follow through with the message or deny it. Denying it usually produces the consequence of us regretting the outcome, knowing we could have altered it by taking the suggested prudent action.
If you receive a message that would have you harm yourself or another person, you did not receive a communiqué from higher self! Higher self may have you do things that make you feel uncomfortable, such as asking you to take steps to overcome your fears in creative ways. Or, it may have you do things that you resist.
But higher self will never have you harm yourself or another being. Higher self has the task of evolving our trust and belief systems as well as working with our fears in order to get us to the edge of the known and step off into the unknown.
Higher self will also teach us to release our need to control each other, our surroundings, or life in general and loosen our attachment on how we think life should be. This may include painful lessons, depending upon how strong or tenacious is our need to control. (Lessons don't have to be painful. The painful ones usually occur when we ignore the higher self or resist change.)
