Higher self

[Zec]

Can someone explain the higher self. I notice I imagine the higher self to be some type of archetype for someone with lots of energy slaying away at life. 

I’m taking a radical honesty course by Brad Blanton. His instructor says how the higher self is kinda bullshit. I imagine according to rad honesty theory and application that it’s somewhat true. I see people in life in character structures according to Ryes Thomas. “Discover your life purpose” and I see how I’ve tried on exercises to reach some sort of higher self. I imagine I’m just stuck in some sort of self help theory masturbation of sorts.

Yeah there’s no higher self. There’s no lower self. There isn’t even a self. Nothing stands on its own without something else constructing it. Though really that’s just words. There is no other, but in a sense there is a self — THE Self. And it’s already perfect. The apparent imperfections are perfection appearing as that.

Your higher self is your intuition. Or it could also refer to the underlying awareness behind everything, the pure awareness that does not change.

i.e. the one thing that doesn’t change, doesn’t acknowledge the existence of a separate being, and of which nothing can be said. So... is it really there? It might be there, but what’s very obvious is that no one knows that.
