"I AM HE AS YOU ARE HE AS YOU ARE ME AND WE ARE ALL TOGETHER" BEATLES' EXPRESSION OF ONENESS. ("I AM THE WALRUS")
COMING TO BE YOUR ESSENTIAL SELF
At this point in the journey you KNOW the distinction, Ego self and Essential Self. The purpose of the journey is for you to know this distinction well enough to choose who you want to be BEING. (The definition of Becoming: the process of coming to be something or passing into a state.) Becoming your Essential Self is a process. With practice you will be able to let go of the Ego self and "come to be" your Essential Self. It is a process of moving from "knowing" to "BEING." Practice begins in the section, (Transformational Tools).
Who you would be BEING as your Essential Self is derived from the context of Oneness in the transcendent energy field of the World Beyond Ego. In this journey, we are looking at the Essential Self functioning at the energy level of LOVE.
(This is a concept presented by David Hawkins in his book, TRANSCENDING THE LEVELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS. Hawkins writes about LOVE as an energy field at level 500 (based on his model of energy levels, page 247). "The 500 level is characterized by the development of an energy field that is progressively unconditional, unchanging, and permanent. It does not fluctuate because its source within the person who LOVES is not dependent on external factors. LOVINGNESS is a way of being and relating to the world and is forgiving, nurturing, and supportive. LOVE is not intellectual and does not proceed from the mind; LOVE emanates from the heart."
Remember!!!! The purpose of this journey is to enable you to see the world in a different way, not the truth, NO, not the truth--but rather, a different window to look through.
To reiterate, a paraphrased statement by David Hawkins: the energy state experienced by the Essential Self is not the result of thinking ABOUT reality, but rather, the state of BEING from which REALITY IS PERCEIVED.
The following is a partial list of the Ways of Being of the Essential Self distinct from the Ego.
Unconditional Love has many facets. All of the facets make up the whole. Or you could say, Unconditional Love has many frequencies, like radio stations on a frequency band. (described below)

Coming to BE your Essential Self involves shifting out of the Ego domain and stepping into the energy field of the World Beyond Ego. Following are Ways of Being of the Essential Self.
