The Higher Self
Another topic that is never discussed in traditional religious education is the concept of the Higher Self. You think there is just you, the face you
see in the mirror, and that you are alone in the world. You assume that the ego, the part of you that tenaciously clings to life, that jockeys for
position and power, that propels you to seek physical gratification, that tempts you to dominate others, and causes you to respond to life's
tribulations with anxiety and fear is the very core of your being, but it is not so.
There is much more to you than you might imagine. The face you see in the mirror is but one aspect, in physical form, of your soul, but your soul is
yet part of a larger concept called the Oversoul. The Higher Self is the 'director', in a manner of speaking, of the Oversoul and is directly
connected to the Universal Cosmic Mind which in turn is connected to the core of all creation, God. All knowledge, all truths, and all possibilities
exists within the Universal Cosmic Mind. If you can gain access to this "Above Top Secret" cosmic computer room, you can find out anything you want
and manipulate reality to satisfy your wishes.
As it turns out, you already have an inside contact. It's your own agent/representative inside the "Big Room with the Big Board" (borrowed from the
movie Dr. Strangelove-one of the funniest satires of all times on the foolishness of the military mind and the immature egotism that animates it) and
we call that representative our Higher Self.

Or is it really that simple? A guy once told me that Abel's sacrifice was unclean and that this
was the reason Cain slew Abel. But if Abel's offering was unclean, wouldn't that also make Cain's blood offering unclean since the sacrifice of
Abel thereby couldn't clean him? The first sin of Cain was jealousy the story goes. His second sin was that he slew his own brother. But these two,
came as a result of love, and a feeling of not being loved. His third and possibly irrepentable sin was that he drank his blood if we believe hidden
scripture. Greed. And greed seems to be the sin that has followed Cain's sons ever since. But what if he repents? What if he started forgiving
instead of killing? What if he left his judgement to God. Wouldn't Cain then become atleast as rightious as his brothers? (end of edit)
