02. MY REFLECTIONS AND DISCOVERIES.

We've learned that the properties of our Higher Self influence its manifestations.
For example: our Higher Self is immortal, so we want to live and not die (as long as life doesn't bring more suffering than death). Perhaps because our Self is in an illusion, we are also attracted to virtuality, like reading a story or playing a computer game until we're done.

Can we draw the opposite conclusion: if a certain property is present in a manifestation, then it also exists in the Higher Self?
For example, it's pleasant to assume that we are inquisitive because our Self knows itself, and the Absolute knows itself through the Higher Selves.
But what about negative traits like greed, the choice to suffer, or a tendency toward violence?
Of course, this can be explained through karma: I once made a will, and now I've suffered the consequences. And I made a will out of ignorance; our enemy is ignorance, maya, and so on.
Or we can also explain it through the lust for life—dominate, humiliate, to stay alive, a vestige of life in animal bodies.

But one can also ask: if I'm greedy and made in someone else's image, does that mean that someone else is also greedy? If people harm other living beings for their own good, is that also in the image of the Higher Self? It's very convenient; it's not that I'm so bad, it's just in my nature. It's as natural for a wolf to eat a hare, and it's natural for me to create different things.

By the way, this explains why the Higher Selves exist in illusion, where they can interact without harming each other until they learn, through karma, to behave in a civilized manner.

But the most interesting thing is that you can try to know your Self by observing yourself, or rather, the manifestations of the Higher Self.
But don't forget about illusion.
