When this happens,
then the Seer is revealed,
resting in its own essential nature,
and one realizes
the True
Self.
---
Within us, we all have two selves. One is the Actor and one is the Seer.
Our Actor self is:
The risk taker. The mistake maker. The winner. The judger. The lover. The cool kid. The loather. The chameleon. The big shot. The doctor. The criminal. The slut. The hero.
This is the self that gets tangled up in the drama of life.
Our actor self is our ego:
That thing that makes us feel like special snowflakes or sore-thumbs.
Our Seer self is:
The True Self that watches as the actor takes risks, assumes personas, has emotional outbursts, laughs, cries, gets angry, gets hurt.
This Self is non-plussed, except for always loving the actor self, no matter how many messes the actor gets into.
The True Self has always been there from the beginning and is what is mirrored in all human beings, underneath whatever costumes, titles, armor, or stories of battle they've collected. Our True Self is as pure as the day we were born. And it's still very much alive in all of us.
The True Self is safety...light...love...connection to the universe.
When the Seer can differentiate between the drama and emotional gymnastics of the Actor, the True Self is realized.
