Talk:Higher self

message: A description of the group putting forward these ideas and its history would be useful to place them in context. --pfh
The NPOV page says:
::* If a viewpoint is in the majority, then it should be easy to substantiate it with reference to commonly accepted reference texts;
::* If a viewpoint is held by a significant minority, then it should be easy to name prominent adherents;
::* If a viewpoint is held by an extremely small (or vastly limited) minority, it doesn't belong in Wikipedia (except perhaps in some ancillary article) regardless of whether it's true or not; and regardless of whether you can prove it or not.
Surely this page falls into the last category?

You need to learn what wikipedia is, and study policies and guidelines immediately, in order to be able to continue editing/contributing wikipedia. If you don't follow, you can be blocked in no time.

thread_title:  Quotes? 

message: I removed the cleanup tag and tried to give the article a more encyclopedic tone. Unfortunately, I don't know much about the subject, and, as it has already been stated, it seems that this article represents only one view point. More insight is needed by those who know the subject (either specific to one area, or on a broad level). -Barkeep 14:19, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Expert Verification

message: I've added Max Freedom Long's version of the huna model. I stipulate MFL because not all modern huna agree with him either. There's also a transpersonal model so when I get time I'll put that in too. These ideas also seem to come from Indian buddhism, so more research there as well probably.

thread_title:  Another model 

message: The intro is nice and wiki, but on second thoughts the middle of this article needs wikified language and is only one model of the higher self. It has origins in the Atman of Hinduism and Buddhism appearing in mysticism as well, as an ultimate self. It could be a good article with more models of the hs, and if the middle section (with all its third, fourth and fifth densities) could be identified as one kind of belief – does anyone know what that is? On its own it's an unnamed unsupported (yet fascinating) construct. Julia Rossi 12:41, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Second thoughts

message: It is possible to open a dialogue of communication with the Higher Self, as well as directly channeling the Higher Self into the earth-incarnate body.  Since the Higher Self is a high dimensional being with a much greater consciousness and energy, the clarity of the communication and channeling is determined by the spiritual development of the earth incarnation.  A more developed earth incarnation can remain in communication with the Higher Self at all times.  Since the Higher Self is the source of the incarnated awareness, the benefits to the earth incarnation are many.
In Rachel Creager's summary of the book "Edgar Cayce on Channeling your Higher Self":
One of the important theses in this book is that the common idea of channeling, as an experience in which one completely loses oneself to a separate entity being channeled (aka "trance channeling"), is not the only, nor even the ideal, form of channeling. Trance channeling bypasses the individual, thus limiting the individual's opportunity to learn and grow through the experience. Cayce often emphasized the importance of attuning to the higher self, while remaining conscious.
In this way, any person can channel the higher self, and, at the same time, access your own individual creativity, and heightened experience of connection with the universe, while remaining an individual. In its broadest sense, channeling includes any act of transmission, whether of love (as in giving someone a hug); an idea (as in sharing it with someone); creative effort; and many other forms.http://www.intuitive-connections.net/2003/book-channeling.htm
In addition, since all Higher Selves are One, being part of Universal Consciousness; it is possible for a spiritually developed person to communicate with and channel the Higher Selves of other people, to communicate guidance from another person's Higher Self to their earth incarnation.  The authenticity of this type of communication has been verified by people receiving the Higher Self communication from the channel medium.http://www.channellinghigherself.com/  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.121.91.117 (talk) 16:51, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Communicating with your Higher Self 

message: This article fails to satisfy very basic criterias; has no references, no NPOV, no clarity. Additionally, it can be one of the best example to original research. Logos5557 (talk) 10:54, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
