Sometimes when people refer to their 'higher selves' they think of them as a floating spirit over their own body and say "I" as in THE "I" of themselves. So they may use "I" in that way. That is where I was responding to what Lifeforce and you were discussing. Ie, saying "I" may just be easier.
I don't think I can explain this better.
As for the "you should" crap... I too believe it is best to be avoided while "I have" gives off a better, teaching feeling. People hate "you should"s as it comes off as very pushy. And people hate being told what to do. It's like it's born in us to resist anything we can. That drive is also what got us here today as beings however.  |
Heh too true.
For the higher selves I think of that as just being me. I am made of my entirety. My soul, spirit, ego, body, mind, heart, and purpose. I also don't quite buy into the "Everything is one" deal but thats the beauty of being human. We can have all sorts of varied opinions.
