We often refer to the totally awakened inner-self that is pure spirit as the Real Self. It is also known as the Higher Self. These terms can confuse anyone who is trying to navigate their spiritual path. Most often, these aspects of our-self are not known to us. They reside within a spiritual world that lays hidden until we choose to take the time to connect in various spiritual ways, and there are many different ways.
Our life on earth is composed of thinking and acting from the mind and the intellect to our surroundings at any given time. We grow up thinking that this is it, so we try to fit as much living into our days as we can. In our present world it has been about the material acquisitions that get placed right in front of our faces wherever we turn. It is classified by some as the "normal way of living," at least to the majority anyway, as many folks choose a more natural way of life and have shunned the materialistic way that has taken over today's society.
Every soul who incarnates on earth is at a different stage of spiritual development. Many, many souls who have come before us have become enlightened, or one with their higher-self. They choose to incarnate to assist the world with their energies which are quite expanded and have a positive effect on those around them. Some are in the public eye for the purpose of teaching about spiritual awakening, and some live among their communities and quietly do service-to-others through their Divine love for all mankind. People on earth right now have that opportunity to become enlightened by working with the downloads of 'ascension' energies. The earth self, commonly called the Ego self, is the part of us that has the choice to let-go of the attachment to the material world and embrace these energies and ascend into a lighter spiritual world on earth.
When one decides to accept these energies, the spiritual part of our-self will come forward. It is a conscious intention by the physical self that has to happen first. The intention has to be there, or nothing will happen. No person is forced to ascend to a higher way of life. It is all a very personal journey for each soul, as we all have had previous incarnations and some have already awakened during those times. If a soul has already done that journey in a past life, it makes it easier to connect within and recognize the awakening process. Then the person is aware of the "other self."
Of course, there really is no other self as our physical self is the 'doer' of the different experiences in our lifetime. The spirit part of us, the soul and the higher-self, uses the physical self as a vehicle to experience all that earth life has to offer. If a soul never incarnated into the physical world, it would not know it's strengths and weaknesses. Hence, the creation of the physical earth society for souls to experience a slower energy and how they would handle themselves in many various situations. It is called the evolution of the soul. Source/God and all its sparks of Essence that created many souls in the beginning, is allowing these souls (us) to expand each Divine Essence through these earth incarnations. We are all doing our bit for the one Source/God. Hence the term "we are all one."
In conclusion, our Real Self is that Divine Essence that is part of Source/God (and Creator as some like to call it), and also the Higher-Self. The HS is the director of our life once we connect with it. The earth ego needs to "give-over" first. There needs to be a letting-go and awareness that we are the instruments for the Divine. Our earth self is still part of the Real Self, but not awakened to that higher aspect as yet. In order to ascend to a higher way of life on earth, every soul needs to make that conscious decision first to loosen their grip on the attachments to physicality. Physicality is a tool for our learning, it is not our true state of being, which is Divinity and recognizing Oneness with the All.
