Hello

In this edition, DZAR talks about the difference between the Expanded Self and our limited or Contracted Self in an extract from an upcoming article in the June Living Now magazine.

And remember...The Path of DZAR is the Path of YOU...the true, expansive and connected YOU who experiences a life filled with joy, compassion and abundance! And if this doesn't quite sound like your life at the moment...then join us at one of our coming events to clear the frequencies that are holding you back.

Love

Message from DZAR...

The Expanded Self

"Take the time to sit and think about this next question. Think about the current you that exists, think about your hopes and your dreams, think about the future that you wish to create. Now ask yourself “What is my current expression of Self that is manifesting the reality that I wish to step into? Does it match the reality I want?” and because we are who we are we can give you the answer instantly…no!

For so many of you, the space that you are currently in is one in which the Contracted Self is creating your existence. The Contracted Self is the expression of just a small part of who you truly are which is the Expanded Self. The Expanded Self is the space where your happiness lives, it is the space in where peace resides and every now and again you have a glimpse, you taste these moments which are so sweet and then they leave and the bitterness and disappointment of the life that you have been living come back.

It may not all be so sour and in the same breath you are all searching for something more. Sometimes you achieve what it is you wish, the majority of times you do not. The struggle is present, the search for meaning and purpose is ongoing. All these aspects can only exist in a Being that is not fully expressed. in someone who has a Contracted Self which is the majority.

If the expression of Self you are now is not in alignment with your goals and dreams then they will always be out of reach. They will be unobtainable because the current Self does not resonate at a frequency that can manifest them. You cannot just pretend to be happy, you cannot just pretend to feel successful because then your very frequency is one that resonates in the realm of doubt, of fear.

You seek the space of the Expanded Self from the space of you wishing to be more of you truly know yourself to be and to be in sync with the world around you. The space of the Expanded Self is the space of awareness, it is the space of understanding there is no coincidence because how can there be coincidence when you create your own reality? If you did not see it coming you were not aware, you were out of sync with who you are in this moment. 

The Expanded Self is the path of flow, the Contracted Self is constrictive, choked, lacking direction, lacking meaning, missing the signs the universe sends. The Expanded Self exists within you now, the task for you is to uncover this hidden treasure, the path for you is to know that you are worthy, to feel and be this space and to allow your world to shift and change because of it."

One Message, Many Messengers

“[Hindu] scriptures talk about consciousness as an expanded state of awareness at all times. We talk about the limited self and the whole self or consciousness.

"So the transformation is going from being limited and small to being whole…We are born of the whole and so now, in our state of limited experience, we are still whole, still complete, but we are just not aware of that. When we become aware, we simply lose limitedness and become whole again.”
