THE MISNOMER

So before we embark upon our journey of “self integration” let us understand that in the absolute sense there is no destination “self integration”!!!!!!!!!
“Self integration” is actually a misnomer in true sense. Consider an idol which out of sheer neglect has been thrown into mud pit. Years after years layers after layers of mud accumulate and harden over it. What then needs to be done if we wanted to retrieve the idol from this seemingly unsightly, randomly shaped, huge and layered mass of hardened mud?
Hammering or chiseling out of all the layers of mud accumulated around it, that’s all!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Similarly we also due to our consistent neglect have accumulated innumerable layers of conditioning around our true self or innate intelligence. We seem so fractured, so disintegrated, so fragmented within our present selves because these conditioning's (mud) within our system (or rather over the beautiful idol of our true, innate self)) are layered. They are arranged in layers of time, layers of intensity of experience, layers of importance etc etc..... so we do not actually need to rearrange and integrate all this mud of conditioning over our system our true self. We just need to hammer and chisel them away!!!!!!!!!!!
The beautiful and innately integrated idol of our being would automatically come out, it would automatically shine through. Please understand all our hammering and chiseling has done nothing to create the idol it always was there as it is. The hammering and chiseling has just removed the innumerable layers of mud and dirt accumulated around the idol, that’s all.
A word of caution though, the end result is amazing, miraculous even. It’s like a person indiscriminately pounding with a hammer and a chisel on a seemingly unsightly, randomly shaped, huge and layered mass of hardened mud and suddenly an intricately “carved to perfection” idol, a wondrous and marvelous piece of art appears from within it.
But let us also remember that the idol has resurfaced from that unsightly block of mud only after taking the blows of hammer and the cuts of the chisel. So we must understand that there is nothing to integrate; only consistent disintegration needs to be done to attain the automatically integrated and innately beautiful and wondrous state that we already have within ourselves but are unable to relate to due to the innumerable layers of social conditioning's around us.

SO NEAR & YET SO FAR

So now that it’s amply clear and the root cause of all our problems and sufferings has been found, “Forgetting our true self our INNATE INTELLIGENCE (/nature/self) and believing ourselves to be mere SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE”, the obvious solution is at hand, “REMEMBERING OUR TRUE INNATE SELF”................................................................................................................
Sadly though this simple solution is not such a simplicity anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to our consistent, persistent and sole identification with our SOCIAL INTELLIGENCE we have totally incapacitated ourselves from being able to relate to or associate with our own INNATE INTELLIGENCE. INNATE INTELLIGENCE to us seems like a distant philosophical entity possessed by sages in Himalayas something that neither exists nor concerns us. And it is due to this handicap of ours we are being forced to take a long detour “so near & yet so far” seems so apt to this situation. We are at a grasps distance to finding the panacea to all the ailments of our lives and yet we are no where even close to getting it due our complete lack of ability to associate with our innate intelligence or so to say our imprisonment within our social intelligence.
It is our inability to be without our social intelligence even for a second that is forcing us to take such a long detour to find the final solution to a perfect living.
For those of us in whom the word INNATE intelligence strikes a chord, this scenario of being able to step out of our SOCIAL intelligence and live with our true innate self is a reality; the journey has come to an end for them. From here on these writings would have nothing more, nothing worthwhile to add unto you. You have dropped back to your source, just like the person realizing that he is not just his virtual self (INTERNET AVATAR) but a physical body and a mind of which the virtual self is just a psychological extension, and now you automatically will have the intelligence to do what is to be done, to know what is to be known and live the way you are supposed to live.
But for those of us to whom the words such as INNATE INTELLIGENCE, TRUE SELF etc are as alien as extraterrestrial life forms themselves (if they exist at all?) the journey is just about to begin!!!!!!!!!
We are at the brink of beginning a journey. A journey back to ourselves, our true selves. The self integration process is about to begin.............
