Connecting with and recognizing the higher self is a rather large subject and requires touching upon many areas within the subject in order to explore it with clarity. Whatever is written on this subject will never be enough to satisfy the human mind. The only time we feel true satisfaction is when we fully experience love and spirit for ourselves. Connecting with the higher self takes practice, refinement, dedication, and discipline. You will receive from this practice what you put into it. It is important to understand that there are no beings, planes, or dimensions outside of ourselves. All dimensions, beings, and planes of consciousness exists equally right here and now, within and around us. This requires that we as individuals open our senses sufficiently so we can participate with other beings, the higher self and/or with the other planes of reality. Sometimes experiencing another plane, dimension, or being can appear as though they are separate from us or that we have exited completely from this 3D plane and arrived at a totally different place.A single drop of water is a good example of ourselves in our separated singularity or individuality. Many drops can co-exist in addition to the single drop. It is possible to create an infinite multitude of seemingly separate drops. This is similar to our 3D reality of separation. There are a multitude of individuals existing in their own individual forms. These individuals are seemingly separated from our own self. However, when you take the drop and add it to a pond, the drop will meld and integrate into the pond. In the pond, the drops are so integrated with each other (like we are in the unified field) that the drops comprise the entirety of the pond or the pond's unified field. Together we comprise the whole reality or medium. There are no parts of the pond (or unified field) that are not an aspect of us. Therefore, there are no planes, dimensions, or beings with which we are not intimately integrated.
In trying to understand a perspective of the higher self in comparison to our ego self, higher self would be like being at a conference in a large hotel auditorium that was partitioned into several smaller rooms. Our greater whole being would occupy the entire floor as well as all the partitioned rooms. Our 3D ego consciousness would only be aware of the one room in which we were focused. Higher self, in comparison, would be fully aware and participating within all the rooms on the floor simultaneously. The higher self would have a much greater vision of the whole of our being and the many rooms or planes upon which we exist.
The higher self is you. It wants to become whole and integrated. Therefore, it is bound to help you in every possible way that you are willing to accept. The higher self's foremost concern is for your highest good. That highest good is observed through the eyes and vantage point of a much more expanded and intimate awareness and an understanding of not only yourself but the current reality you have created for yourself within that partitioned room. The higher self naturally wants to help you evolve to be able to access the many partitioned rooms that comprise our total self. Eventually, the higher self will teach you to remove the partitions completely.
Higher self is highly motivated to communicate with us at the first available moment of clarity or mental inactivity. This may not require us to adhere to a step-by-step protocol to reaching higher self. Higher self wants to be able to communicate with us at every given instant but generally finds itself in a challenge with our 3D selves because of our insistence on creating a barrier of resistance to the higher self. This barrier of resistance is, quite frankly, our preoccupation with a myriad of distractions.
Higher self may use any number of methods or tools to communicate. Unfortunately, not every communiqué or subtle message received is from the higher self. This makes it even more of an appreciable task to try to identify, clarify, and refine these communications. (The origin of these other communiqués is a subject for a later discussion).
Higher self communicates in a subtle fashion in most cases and resorts to drastic forms of communication or even silence when there is no other choice. Many times we have used the gifts of our human potential without recognizing them and in so doing have taken them for granted. The voice of the higher self is one of those gifts we have taken for granted. It is our soft and subtle voice that comes to alert us to potential dangers or calmly helps us find our keys after we have madly searched the house. Higher self is also the voice of our higher reason and our creative inspiration. When we hear our own subtle voice of inspiration, it becomes our choice to listen and follow through with the message or deny it. Denying it usually produces the consequence of us regretting the outcome, knowing we could have altered it by taking the suggested prudent action.
