# The Self >[!info] >The Self is a fragment of the [[The One Infinite Creator|One Infinite Creator]] that experiences things in a limited way. > >It has come down into the [[Dimensions]], identifying with one being at a time, to be able to experience things from a specific perspective - that is, without knowing everything. > >It is the cursor, or the perspective view, that can move between all dimensions of reality, not home in any one. > >It is your deepest level of being before the Creator itself. The ultimate experiencer. --- This [video](https://youtu.be/JYHp8LwBUzo?si=hIPygUsCoya2k1Tt) is a perfect visual example of the Self concept. All the layers of reality always exist. The beings that inhabit them too. But you have to take one perspective at a time to have an experience. To be able to move around and take actions at that level. The "player" in this video is the Self as it moves through different beings at the different scales of 3D reality. >[!warning]- >As amazing as this video is, it is important to note it is only shifting between various **SCALES** within the physical universe (the [[3D - Space|3rd Dimension]]) - from cells to animals to planets to galaxies etc. > >You can tell you are in 3D because everything is still happening in linear time, which means it never enters the [[4D - Time|4th Dimension]], where things are seen as their entire lifecycle instantaneously, like if a [long exposure shot of a person](https://youtu.be/65nfbW-27ps?si=IbspSp688KZzVvEv) was comprehended all at once. The common occurrence of one's "life flashing before your eyes" is a quick dip into a 4D perspective. > >So, the perspective in the video is never shifting between the [[Dimensions]], but rather scales of material phenomena within 3D. However, it is a simple and intuitive metaphor for shifting perspective, and until I have a more accurate visual example, this will do. --- The Creator in its final form is everything, everywhere, all at once. No timeline is prioritized over another, no one being in one [[Dimensions|Dimension]], no scale of the material world from atoms to galaxies, is more crucial than another. The Creator is all these things equally, so a star may explode, a child may be born, a universe may collapse, and yet awareness persists. So everything is perfect, just as it is. (This is why [[7D Enlightenment]] destroys all desire for action in the 3D world.) The experience of the Creator is like when we watch a movie: you can enjoy the show because you know that whatever happens on the screen, you yourself will survive the showing, and so the whole wild spectacle — with its drama, ecstasy, and horror — is all just for your benefit as the viewer. However, for any show to occur, the characters have to have limited perspectives. They have to not know what's going to happen next, and make choices in despite of uncertainty. This is what creates the drama that captivates us. Who will win the match? The war? Will she make the jump? Will he get the girl? Will she overcome her past? Will he finally challenge his father, and when he does, what will happen? The universe is a school. It is a playground for evolution. The Creator forgets everything for the pleasure of learning it again. Loses themselves in the dream to give weight to waking up. [[2D - Polarity|Splits itself in two]] to have someone to play with, for something to happen at all. And so the mechanism of this intentional limitation is the Self, a tiny ray of the sun-like Creator that splits and refracts through the prisms of the dimensions to to identify with a certain being there, and play that part with complete seriousness. It is not that being fundamentally, it is not even confined to that entire dimension as it is the Creator itself, but it identifies with that being and that realm to play its part convincingly. The bee needs to genuinely want to pollinate the flower, the lizard needs to genuinely want to defend its territory. It is these desires - which can only emerge from a smaller identification than with everything - that animate the entire [[Universe]], from the smallest quark to the largest [[6D Directors|Archangel]]. If every being was to be totally stabilized in its identification with the Creator, the show would stop right then. All polarity would collapse into unity, all oppositional forces would cease. There would be no light and no dark, no contrast, and without this foundation there would be no [[3D Bodies|individual Bodies]] that could host [[4D Souls|awarenesses]], which means no lifetimes to aggregate into [[5D Guides|karmic patterns]], which means no [[6D Directors|possibility of other choices]], which means no resolution in the [[7D Nothing|emptiness of the void]]. And so, the Self loses itself in its role, each and every one, to animate the play of the universe. As we — Souls centered in [[4D - Time|4D]], experiencing the [[3D - Space|3D]] world through bodies — learn to raise our [[Dimensions|State]] of consciousness, we learn that we are more accurately the Self than the 3D body, or even the 4D Soul, 5D Guide, 6D Director...and are in fact the Creator ourselves, returning home. --- --- `SCRAPS` ``` >[!info]+ >Also called the personal soul.
