Every person is born into the world with the concept and capability to realize and access the Infinite Energy within them. No matter what you call it, the fact remains that the experience of that Infinite Energy is a critical facet of human existence, and to tap that Energy gives us strength, knowledge, and contentment.
Every human has three aspects.
The higher self is the aspect of our existence which separates us from other forms of animal life. The higher self is the experience of the subtle and meditative reality for which we are all born. When you give the mind the regular experience of an Infinite horizon, you are maintaining the higher self and experiencing the level and caliber of a basic human being. When you further develop the facets of the higher self and become a God-conscious individual, it means you have the power of mental infinity. It is a great help and a special treat if you find some teacher who can stand by you and let you go through the experience of the higher self.
