Spiritual Physics and Self Esteem

As I have mentioned before, we are spiritual living beings. This is crucial for our personal development and the enhancement of our self esteem. We are momentarily covered by the superfluous concept of competition. Our mind is the storage place for our strategies to survive in a competitive world. Our intelligence discriminates – bases on our past experiences – which strategy is suitable for a certain situation.

Different Bodies of Different Density

So far we have spoken about...

• the eternal self (that is us!)
• the first covering called the false ego
• the intelligence
• the mind
• the gross body

The gross body can be divided into five more categories of different density. For our subject of self esteem this is not very important, but it is nevertheless interesting, as modern science is able to verify more and more of these ancient concepts.

Some spiritual and esoteric schools will mention even more bodily coverings of our true spiritual self, but these five will suffice. At the present moment we can only see the grossest manifestation of our bodies. That is the reason why so many person take it as the one and all and all their efforts for a better life are soley directed toward this ponderous and time devouring plane.

The subtler the platform we decide to work upon for positive change, the easier, more elegant and more pleasureable it will be.

The most subtle of our gross bodily coverings is the ethereal body. The next plane is the energetic body. Many of you will have heard of chakras, energetic vortexes in the body that govern all the functions of our gross bodies. This is the plane where you can find them. Beyond them is the magnetic body, the body of liquids and the solid body.

Where Do We Find Self Esteem?

As we have already mentioned: One will find self esteem in the superiority of his intelligence, another will find self esteem in the power of his mind, again another in his vibrant health, beauty, strength, skills and so on. This are all transient sources of self esteem.

Real and authentic self esteem can only be found in your original self, beyond the coverings of the different material bodies. It is alright to live in them, but it is very limiting to identify oneself with them. You are an eternal and perfect being, endowed with wisdom, beauty, power, freedom, honor and wealth. This is your eternal gift from life itself and simultaneously it is the real source of substantial self esteem, which is devoid of false pride and the desire to be better than others. You are so great, so content in yourself that it will absolutely make no sense for you to compete with others. That is the meaning of real sovereignty.
