“Self-Concept” Your self-concept is that which you perceive yourself to be and it determines the world in which you live. If you are like most, your self-concept was put together in a haphazard fashion mostly as a defense mechanism to protect you in what is considered to be a hostile world. Thus, it is based on fear and not love; egoic constructed and not spiritual; aggressive and not passive. Your self-concept determines what it is that you desire, what it is that you feel you can do, and what it is you feel you are worthy of having, and who it is with whom you associate. Your self-concept is one with your “comfort zone,” a paradigm in which you feel comfortable and is constructed with mental bars that you believe to be real, but are not. The world accommodates itself to your self-concept, and thus, indirectly, assist you in maintaining it because they too, like yourself, believe that it is the “real you.” Both are wrong. Your self-concept is an illusion and has no more to do with the real you than a picture of ice cream has to do with the real McCoy. This is the reason that happiness cannot be found through a self-concept because it is deception, a farce, an actor playing a part. Happiness only comes when “you” decides to be You, the Self that God created and knows as the Real McCoy. Deception is not the road to happiness. Selah. ~PA~.
