Many of us talk about 'my' Higher Self or True Self. So my question to you is what does your Higher Self look like? This question was put to me some 3 months ago and at the time I could not answer it but it did bring me to another level of consciousness (might be down )..... And for myself I know the answer now. And it was quite shocking and liberating...

I highly recommend to only take on beliefs that are self experiential. I.e. only take on something if you feel / know this is your truth. But then, every one is free to do whatever they want so long as they do not cause harm to anyone.
So... what does my Higher Self of True Self look like? I have used that term so much, especially on this forum. In ignorance I now think. The lessons in our walk of life are probably never ending. There is no end to the development of our consciousness.
I must give credit and gratitude to my friend and business partner who asked the question. He already knew what my HS looks like but he is wise and let me experience it for myself rather then giving me the answer. Maybe I should do the same for those that have followed this thread but I feel guided to share this for discernment of others. The other credit and gratitude goes to Howdie McKoski who wrote a wonderful book about his own awakening journey called "Falling for Truth". He also has a YT channel with lots of wisdom. In the book he describes his personal journey an describes how he conquered / destroyed his Ego. There is no true awakening without destruction of Ego. His book led to the realisation that the answer is very obvious. Maybe that was the last of my Ego destroyed. The Hopi have lots of ancient wisdom. What you say you are, you are surely not. It is not up to me to say who or what I am. So you will not hear me say that I lost my Ego nor what I am. It is up to others to say that. Many do not realise how persistent Ego can be. It will do anything to stay alive. It is extremely deceiving, even for people who consider themselves very 'awake' or conscious. That I realise now....
My answer, and again it is MY answer, is....... There is NO Higher Self or True Self..... Once I looked past HS I found ... NOTHING. Once I really looked I found absolutely NOTHING. It is actually very logical. As long as I, the identity, thinks I have a Higher Self, I am still seeing myself as separate from the Divine. It is like the middle finger of a body thinking itself separate from the body. So anything to do with I or myself has to do with EGO... HS is EGO... As far as I am concerned all human beings, and for that matter everything on Earth or in other dimensions IS the DIVINE. Separation is just illusion. It was initially really shocking to realise there is no HS. As Howdie explains in his book; Once you get to the stage of Ego destruction some people can temporarily loose all will to do something in this life. Simply because Ego has disappeared. That can even last several years for some. A friend of mine came to the realisation and indeed felt no more emotions, had no personal drive. He just WAS for a while. Doing absolutely nothing. Until I explained what was happening to him and that it was very good news. To me it makes perfect sense. We all are each other, we all are the Divine. The analogy of the body is useful. Middle finger and big toe may look separate but they are just the body. Mironlang and I appear separate but we are just different expressions of the ONE. So we are NOTHING and simultaneously ALL / ONE.
Hope this answers the question. Of course this is just my humble experience and I respect anyone who thinks differently. You see the world how you are and not how the world is....
Love and Gratitude to ALL.

I don’t know Howdie’s channel or his works. I do agree with your experience of seeing nothing when looking for/at your HS, but that is because I have known you here for a while and can see where you are coming from.
When a person loses their ego there is a large shift in perspective. It is exactly like losing oneself. This disappearance of self through awareness, continues into a fullness of being and total loss of fear, loss of individual concerns, etc. Your HS does not disappear, but the need/importance to see it is gone, since we no longer search for what most call our other half (turned into some sort of romantic notion, since most can and do sense HS, without any understanding of it).
We are not parts of the body in the sense that one is a finger and another is a toe, but we are all one family. The correlation of the body is that you partake of a specialty function and none is greater or less in the work. One person might be a spokesperson/mouth, and another person might be hidden as a researcher, or a caregiver, or all of the above at different times. Since we are unique with free will, only you know where and what you are meant to be doing, whatever gives you joy and contentment.
I saw the one eye symbolism as relative to this “ego” attachment, since one eye is completely focused on this reality and on “finding” oneself in a world of egos. Builders of big personalities, and creators of leaving a mark, being unforgettable and famous (those below you only bricks in your existance).
Everything else is “ghosted”, to be forgotten in this search. So where you find yourself here, the real you is lost and taken over (for battery usage I suppose). In such an inverse and flipped around concept, for most to not see HS means you are no longer in existance (or individually you), which is the complete opposite of reality, since you are more you with real freedom, real sovereign wholeness, and no lack of anything. As usual how things appear, really are not what it seems (and never will be here).
I guess to answer the question of the thread is, it doesn't matter what your HS looks like, since to be looking for it, is to look for ego and where the "self here now" is, to feel a need to be, when we already are.

“When a person loses their ego there is a large shift in perspective. It is exactly like losing oneself.”
Well said. I think one hitch is developing a personal perspective on where said ego begins and ends. A bit like layers of an onion, peel off one thinking you got somewhere only to find yet many more waiting. Same with the ego. It is deep and cunning. We do not want to be the ego that thinks it got rid of itself. Like you, Henrik and Hans I believe we should be spending as much time looking inside as out and “looking” is not “going” inside as much as it is true self examination which to me is far more valuable than wondering when Nibiru shows up again. We are all we got kids.

I wanted to add for Miron that it is very possible that your HS looks like the sun. If we are from and connected to Source, then it isn't far fetched to call yourself a son and exist as a sun in some galaxy. Maybe this seems so weird and crazy, but nothing is impossible.
How would this at all help Miron in this 3d existence to see this and "know" this as his HS? What wisdom there is to see nothing, while we have work to do in the place we are at.
Referring to Myka, yes ego can be cunning and deceitful, but losing the ego is like crossing a stream only to find out it is a raging river. It would take a lot of effort and carelessness to fall backwards (to where we were with ego) after a lifetime search for truth. This is why it feels so liberating when we understand how weighty it was to carry that ego everywhere and to see HS as absolutely nothing! Not even the weight of a feather to carry around.
<3
p.s. what is in the middle of an onion anyways? isn't it nothing? lool

And it was quite shocking and liberating... What did it look like? My OBE or what some may say higher self but I believe this is the spirit from the Source.
My OBE experience occurred after meditation with some breathing techniques that I read from a book clear back in my early twenties and I was wanting to meet Jesus. The night after I went to sleep, I ended up in front of my bathroom mirror, seeing a light being in the form of a human body and out of fear I did command it in Jesus's name to get behind me satan and I instantly woke up in bed! Over the years, I've come to realize that I was seeing His Spirit in me and not satan. In other words, my spirit had come out of my body and I was seeing my own spirit that the True Creator had given me. I've never tried that again, for I feel that there is no need to.
This is about what I saw.
Please note, if you have Dark Reader on your browser it comes even closer to what I did see.

"HOWEVER much a portrait is inferior to an actual face, just so is the world worse than the living realm. Now, what is the cause of the (effectiveness of the) portrait? It is the majesty of the face that has furnished to the painter a prototype so that the portrait might be honored by his name. For the form was not reproduced with perfect fidelity, yet the name completed the lack within the act of modeling. And also god’s invisible cooperates with what has been modeled to lend it credence."
by Valentinus/ Fragment D /ADAM’S NAME
From: The Gnostic Scriptures: A New Translation with Annotations and Introductions by Bentley Layton
This quote really rang true within me and I was moved to share it in reference to what I saw in the mirror that night a long time ago.

As far as I am concerned there is no higher self. There are aspects of the self which are more subtle and not percieved so easily. Deeper aspects perhaps. And it is important to look within. But there is no higher or lower seperate self.
Ofc I think of all sorts of characters in terms of my creative expression. But any actual physical avatar for it does suggest "Astral trickery" going on. I don't think any visual symbolism is helpful in any case as i've seen it's best to focus on intent. Otherwise you are led away.
