TwoYou for Dummies

[judge45]

Okay, you probably already know this, so if you do, just bear with me, while I try to explain it to those of you who don't get it or are just discovering it.

We all know that the real power of LoA, IM, 'The Secret' lies in the essence that has nothing to do with physicality. By that I mean to truly grasp and control the very awesome power that you have over your existance, you essentially have to understand the 'twoyou' concept.

There are essentially two parts to the thing that is you.There is the physical and the spiritual. The true you, the real you I believe is actually the part that is not physical.

It's the part that really is the creator of everything. Call it your divinity, you godliness, whatever, it's the essence where all the true power resides.

The proof is in the thoughts. Answers come from thoughts which are very not physical. In fact all the important things like thought and emotion and not physical, they just represent themsleves in a physical manner after they come into existance..

The problem is that most of us can't see past the physical. That's all there seems to be, yet the real power, the IM power, the LoA power is really the connection of the true you and the you that's your physical reality. People who get what they want from life, either know this and use this or are doing it without knowing.

It's very hard to see the truth, especially when you seem so very real physically. I can see why people get frustrated, because we're all dealing with present moment physical reality and it is very persistant and real.

But it's the physical version of you.

Steve's TTNoR is an excellent podcast to delve down into this. Once you can truly understand the concept of a physical you and a true you, then I think the power is enhanced. They are one, but they're not.

It's like knowing that ultimately nothing matters, because we are all connected outside of reality (even religion is based on this) and that our bodies, our very lives are just a means to have an experience.

The more I think about that the true me, the true essence of me is not just about this one life or this body I have, the more I can let go of things that ultimately don't matter.

The idea of consciousness is so foreign to many people, because all they see is with their eyes, but eyes are just organs that filter what's visible physically.
I look at dreams and dead bodies (gross!!) as a a proof mechanism of the truth about there being two you's.

In dreams our consciousness is free to roam (sometimes I don't think we even need sleep, our consciousness gets bored with the real world and goes on a short vacation) so we can enjoy another environment of consciousness.
I'm still me in my dreams, I've just discarded my physicality for a bit of different freedom.

Dead bodies are another example. If you've ever seen a dead body up close, it's amazing to realise that the thing that made that person alive wasn't really that body, it was the essence/energy/spirit/consciousness, that was lving/using that body.

I watched my mother die, but I got a sense of the real part of her had just left, leaving the body behind, I know she's out there somewhere. It will be cool to see her again, but I don't worry or feel remorse, we'll meet again.

We're discarding our bodies in enormous numbers everyday (150,000 today, that's about 1000 people gone in the time I've been writing this) and if you really think about it, it's not really anything to fear or worry about. The thing that makes you, you, is not your body, it may seem that way, but it's not or at least I don't think so.

I want to thank Steve (yes I know I'm really thanking myself from a subjective POV) for TTNoR padcast, I listen to it everyday and it's still so empowering even if you don't believe it all.

Forgive me if you already know all this, but I find this forum is a great place to help me figure stuff out. By writing about it I find it helps understand it better. I suppose that it's all just one consciousness, but that isn't that helpful when you have to wake up everyday and be a physical body, for me assigning a concept of there being two versions of me that are linked by reality(spirit/physical) helps me gain control more.

I suppose the body version of me, is an empty shell without the real part of me, but it's still a collective version of me, definable by two.

Thanks for reading and I hope this may help someone, if not, sorry no refunds

PS I think I'm really trying to fully grasp the difference between my physical body and my consciousness. Maybe the twoyou angle is flawed because I'm trying to separate them, which they do at night and when I die, but is that really helpful.........hmmmm.
