AWAKENED BEINGS: Integrating the three aspects of the self

In spiritual and personal development circles, we are all very familiar with the concepts of the higher self and the inner child, and the need for a positive, introspective, grounded and effective personality.

Most self-help and metaphysical works of literature address only one of these concepts—rarely two or all of these. If someone asks me what spiritual awakening is, I simply answer "Heaven on Earth," or the ability to function in this physical dimension according to high spiritual principles.
