For many years, I have been on a quest to understand who I truly am. Am I simply the name and identity I was given at birth, or is there a deeper essence within me that I have yet to uncover? This question has lingered in my mind for years until I began to seek answers from various sources. One day, while at the supermarket, I heard someone call out the name “Nathan,” and I instinctively responded. It was an automatic reaction that left me puzzled, as I couldn’t comprehend why I had reacted that way. I was born in India, grew up in India, and eventually moved away, with no connection to the name Nathan. So why did I respond without any forethought? This incident made me ponder even more deeply: Who am I? Am I truly Nadia, or is there something greater within me that holds memories tied to the name Nathan?
This burning desire to uncover my true self propelled me on a journey of self-exploration. Over the years, my diverse practices began revealing a hidden aspect of myself, often referred to as the Higher Self. To me, the Higher Self is an eternal, omnipotent, conscious, and intelligent being—my real essence. It embodies a level of consciousness that transcends my usual self-identity and everyday experiences.
The Higher Self exists beyond my physical form, yet it is an integral part of me. It perceives life without the layers of conditioning I have accumulated throughout this lifetime. It transcends both Nadia and Nathan, as well as my ego. This essence guides, comforts, and inspires me in countless ways. It is not reliant on my awareness; rather, it represents an elevated form of consciousness.
My Higher Self has always been present—whether I was aware of it or not, whether I believed in it or not, and regardless of my feelings about it. It exists simply because it is me. Those bursts of inspiration and flashes of intuition I was getting at times? That was my higher self ! I was able to access that more and more through my meditation and practice, aligning with it guided me to new opportunities and to the feeling of fulfilment I was seeking. Today I am closer to my essence than what I was years ago.
