The Different Versions Of You
How do you find signs your higher self is talking to you?
There are very clear signals when it happens.
We are born as individuals.
But the possibilities within us divide us into three versions of ourselves.
These are the lower self, the present self, and the higher self.
These three versions of us constantly interact among themselves to give us an average version of ourselves.
The lower self represents your past and the things you were or the ones you do not want to be anymore.
Your current self is who you are at this moment.
Your current self can also be seen as the average version of yourself as the former is the closest to the latter.
You may like it or not, you are what you are in this moment.
Many people let their lower selves define it, others live in constant denial of it, while the remaining use the power of belief to change their present selves to their liking.
Your highest self is the self that you want to be.
You set goals and objectives in pursuance of your highest self.
Thus, everything you do is in accordance with achieving your higher self.
We can work in the present to improve our present self and take it towards our higher self.
But the path to do this is full of stress and challenges.
It becomes a lot simpler and straightforward if your higher self guides you to achieve it.
But the question is how to make our higher self guide us to itself when we do not have any access to it.
You may not have full access to your higher self right now but it’s still within you and a lively part of you.
What you need to do is to invigorate it within yourself so that it can start guiding you.
So, you need to constantly remind yourself of the person you want to become and all the things you want to have in life.
When the effort and time are just right, the spirit of your higher self will get activated within you.
It will then start guiding you towards it.
But how will you know that it’s started happening for you?
What are the signs your higher self is talking to you or guiding you towards itself?
