“So,”
she says, “this 'higher self' thingy – it's like, well ... some
sort of separate aspect of your being?”
“Yes,” he says,
“that's right, a more spiritual part.”
“Then you must also
have a kind of... “ she pauses, “ a kind of 'lower
self'
part as well?”
“Well, yes – I suppose you could call it
that; the more ordinary, mundane, 'in-the-world', conscious part of
your being.”
“Hmm.” She frowns. “It all sounds a bit
'Dissociative Identity Disorder' to me...”
She pauses,
thoughtfully, then, “And you say this higher self thingy - it
always knows what's in your best interests?”
“Yes that's the
theory: that it knows what's for your Highest Good, at any given
moment in time.”
“Oh, right. Okay. And you say that when
you 'send energy' to someone, it may or may not be accepted,
depending on whether or not this higher self thing decides it's right
for them?”
He nods. “Yes, that's basically how I understand
it.”
“Ah! - so this is why you believe you don't need
bother consulting the person about whether or not they actually want
you to send energy to them? You don't see the
need,” she
continues, “to ask their conscious, lower self first – because
you believe there's a 'higher' part of them that will basically
overrule their conscious self, and accept what it decides is for
their Highest Good – whether their conscious self likes it or
not?”
“Well...” he says, seeming a little less sure, “Yes,
I suppose … you could look at it like that...”
“And
everything is 'energy', right?”
“Er, yes … Of
course.”
“Hmm... Right … O.K.” she says, thoughtfully.
“Good, so ...”
Suddenly, her hand flashes out and
delivers a painful, stinging slap across his cheek.
“Aah!
What the …?!” He yells, utterly bewildered, as he clutches and
gently rubs the side of his face.
“Oh, sorry,” she says
in all seriousness, “I was just testing your theory.”
“You
see,” she explains, “I 'sent' that slap with the intention that
if it wasn't for your Highest Good right now, your higher self thingy
wouldn't accept it. But now...” she says, with a
look of
puzzlement, “I can't quite decide... Does it mean that this
supposedly higher part of your being felt you actually deserved
a
slap in the face now? Or, does it perhaps mean ...”
