SOUL = individual consciousness or self-aware medium of experience. Not a fixed entity but a never-ending flow.
Impressionable, the soul is shaped by all experience and can be structured by the conditioning of the personality/ego or by its true nature/being.

The inner journey of awakening is a journey from conditioned, restricting patterns to the realization of the soul& #39;s true nature.
The true nature of a ***person*** can be referred to as Essence.

Essence is the unconditioned nature of who we truly are.
Essence is not a self-image or a thought. Self-image - the collection of concepts one has of oneself is one of the barriers to recognizing AND developing essence.

Essence is the "truth within forms and experiences of our lives" - the more in touch with it, the more real and whole one feels
Much poetry is written when in touch with essence either consciously or unconsciously.

Essence differentiates as the very source of Love, Peace, Strength, Power, Compassion, etc.
Many beautiful and revolutionary ideas/visions are echoes of essence itself, one degree removed from the ontological ground of reality

The inner work of freeing the soul/spirit is to
"open, clarity, and purify itself in order to experience Essence more directly, more completely, and with fewer obscurations or blocks. "

"When this same true nature is recognized as the true nature of everything, it is referred to as Being"
Being manifest in the personal realm as the ego and Essence. (many other realms)
There is an intimate sense that it is yours. "This my ego or my Essence"

We want to actualize and fulfill our potential. When we don& #39;t, we suffer.
All spiritual schools and religions at their core exist to orient one to return to their true nature. Often misunderstood since words are only pointers (hi rationalist nerds)

Below are some of the ingredients to accelerate your journey back to the fullness of you who are and the consequent actualization of your infinite potential.
Discipline Ingredient
The false personality (a structural lense on the soul) acts in erratic ways and constantly tries to avoid the truth.
Discipline forces confrontation of unpleasant truths + development of capacities to penetrate reality/oneself deeper

Service Ingredient
True service is NOT about doing a morally good action (hi self-gratifying bs)
True service is NOT about serving somebody else.
True service is serving ESSENCE (be selfish)
Serving ESSENCE serves the essence of everybody else.

Love Ingredient
If you do not care or love yourself, you will never embark on the arduous, endless journey of developing Essence (your true self)
You have to love being REAL and only you knows. Save yourself.

Psychoative Hack
Die to what is. Drop everything you& #39;re holding on to and you& #39;ll realize "YOU" are still there. So what died? The false personality.
That& #39;s why flow feels good. More immediate real contact with Essence/Life.
Less conditioned personality.

Psychoactive Hack 2
Everything your personality wants is a hollow imitation from Essence.
If you lack love and want others to give to you. Stop. Don& #39;t fill your hole compulsively from the outside.
Instead FEEL IT FULLY. Essence will fill it.
