Higher Self Identity: Becoming the Version Who Already Has It

Introduction

In this blog post, I am going to be talking about the Higher Self, exploring the nature of the higher self from a metaphysical point of view, rather than the spiritual New Age conception of the higher self. We are going to explore the higher self as a version of your current self that exists on a different timestamp of reality. Stay tuned.

What is the Higher Self?

The higher self, according to a quick look up, is the spiritual part of a person, usually being used as an integral part of many manifestation techniques, as opposed to focusing on the physical body or the breath. This is nice and all, but it always seemed vague to me. Now, I am not saying it's nonsense; all I am saying is that it is a bit too anchored for me. So if you know me, then you know that I was not going to settle for that. I will seek and find something much more contextual. Stick around, you are going to really like this one.

Ever since I learned that manifestation is not about getting what you want, but becoming the person who already has what it is that you want. It's not about attracting external experiences and objects but about internal shifts that modify the state of being that then shift external factors. See, it all boils down to who I believed myself to be.

The Law of Assumption is not just wishful thinking; it says that what you assume, i.e believe and consent to being true, determines what happens within your waking human experience. The outer world is a reflection of the inner world. So if I see myself as a person who "wants" then I remain the "wanting" state of being in a loop.

However, if I see myself as a person who already has what I want, then my outer world will have to compensate for the mismatch between the within and without by shifting and aligning with a version of reality from infinite possibilities where you are the person who already has what you want. You need not lift a finger to make this work, and I will be showing you how in a bit.

At this point, the mystery of the Higher Self is not about your Super Saiyan - God Mode self, but a version of me that already exists in fullness, beyond your current timeline, into the immediate or probable future. It was never about creating this version of yourself but seeking and aligning with them.

Notes On The True Nature of the Higher Self

The Higher Self was never a distant, divine and omnipotent being — it is the optimal expression of me. Ever seen those social media posts that say if you could send your 16-year-old self a letter, what would you say to them?

That's kind of how this is, except you in the current moment are the higher self and the 16-year-old actually receives the letter, and it contains all the details of what happened during the gap between you now and your 16-year-old self. All the mistakes you made that can be avoided, all the heads up you wish you had and all that.

How is this possible?

See, time is not linear, nor is it constant. It is a popular concept that creation is already finished; all that you could want already exists out there waiting to be reeled in by your desires and conception of self. This means that a version of you who aced an exam a week from one can be your higher self if they have the info that you need to pass the exam. A person who is either psychic or has a high sense of self-awareness can tune in to this version of themselves and subconsiously study the exact chapter they need to ace the paper.

The same goes to a bunch of other things, the version of you who want to law school 5 years, the version of you who won the lotto, the version of you who moved to Bali 15 years from now are all your higher self, all you need to do is tune in, it's the same mind in a different time stamp all the intel you need is already uploaded in your psyche since birth you need just download and use it.

The trouble here is that we have been conditioned from day 1 to see it all as linear and that things that have not happened are yet to be decided. This way of thinking is what has limited the minds of many into thinking that visualization isn't just recalling memories from the future as opposed to the past, as we regularly do by default.

So every single time I operate from this POV instead of from fear and anxiety, I am channelling and merging more with that version of me who already is what I desire to become. And every single time I assume the feeling of “it is already done,” I am stepping into the consciousness of my Higher Self somewhere further down the timeline. Not a deity or divine being involved - just a bit of quantum mechanics and perhaps psychology.

Notes On Identity As The Root of All Manifestation

Let's say that thoughts create reality, if so, then identity sustains it. If the subconscious mind is the soil of creation, then the identity is the seed that is planted.

See, I can say all the affirmations that I want, but if my self-concept, what I believe and consent to be as true, be it conscious, subconscious or otherwise, contradicts my desire, the soil will remain divided in a sense. The subconscious mind will always express the truth of who I believe myself to be. It's that simple. If you are having trouble reeling it in, it is because you don't believe it yet and it's probably a subconscious or unconscious thing.

If my belief is that "I am unworthy" then that belief will quietly continue to sabotage my best efforts, every affirmation will flop. And if I believe the opposite, that "I am abundant," then abundance will flow in naturally regardless of what my physical senses say otherwise.

To fully embody the Higher Self, one is to assume a new inner posture, a new frequency and concept of self. This is not an act, pretending or forcing things, it is remembering.

I ran a few tests and here is what I learned works best for me:

• Clearly Define the Ideal Version: Right now, who am I being and what is it that I desire? In what manner do I think, speak, react and treat others? What am I doing that this ideal will or will not do, tolerate or chase?
• Observation Without Judgment: After the Ideal self has been defined, I now switch up my self-awareness so whenever I catch myself reacting as my old self, I do not resist it or tense up. I simply tell myself that was the old program trying to restart once more, I then gently shift my attention back to the new ideal self and try to react as they would.
• Stay Consistent to the New State Internally: Repetition is key here through visualization, inner dialogue and feelings, they inhabit the energy of that ideal version, and I begin to think like him, and I speak like him. I even start to make decisions from his perspective and whatnot.

When The Shift Happens, It Happens in Silence

For a while, it may feel like it is not working, but you need to adopt a fake it till you make it attitude. I don't know what else to tell you but to hang in there a little longer. This usually is only a problem for people new to the usage of the Laws. When it does happen, it tends to be subtle — the inner click happens and the identity shifts. It is rarely dramatic, heck, I usually only notice it happens in hindsight during moments of introspection and assessment; that being said, in a moment, I am trying to manifest something into my life and the next, I realize that I already have.

There seems to be this period of time where you completely forget about the intention until it has fully manifested, and then you suddenly realize oh wow, it did happen. Those are the best if I do say so myself, in fact I had one this very morning before writing these very words.

I call it the draft of forgetfulness, which enables one to let go of the lower memory sometimes months or hours before the manifestation arrives. I don't really know how this bit works, but it does every time.

The manifestation I mentioned a second ago that happened this morning? I was worrying about it all day yesterday, and this morning I got the call after my walk in nature, all thoughts forgotten momentarily.

At this point, all I can do is tell you about it; you will have to test it out and see for yourself.

Best of luck, you won't need it tho, since you found this, you know you are amongst the luckiest people alive.

Summary

• The Higher Self is the version of you who already lives the reality you desire.
• Manifestation isn’t about forcing outcomes but assuming a new identity.
• The subconscious expresses whatever identity you hold most consistently.
• Embody the new self through inner dialogue, visualization, and calm repetition.
• Reality rearranges itself to match who you’ve become, not what you’re wanting.
