The Higher Self…

Eileen often used to express the idea that over time we build countless layers of ‘selfhood’, our preferences, desires, aversions, attachments, all jostling for attention, the self-created egoic mind, that looks only to the self and self-interest – obstacle to peace – fighting any kind of awakening and awareness of the bigger picture.

Eileen spoke of the ‘higher’ self and how we needed to implement the will (intention) in order to direct our lives toward peace, goodwill, loving kindness, through some kind of a spiritual practice, turning within to our core, where dwells the divinity, the spark of the sacred.
