I’ve noticed something lately: the moment I say “higher self,” some people flinch. That single word “higher” suddenly feels loaded - like I’m sneaking in hierarchy, superiority, or spiritual one-upmanship. And honestly? I get it.
In this episode of The Higher Self Dialogues, I dig into why “higher” triggers discomfort in so many of us right now, and why after wrestling with it myself I’ve decided not to ditch the term.
What You’ll Learn
- Understanding the Flinch: How I get how “higher” can rub the wrong way, and the cultural moment that’s making us allergic to anything that smells like power.
- Higher ≠ Better: Why I see it as expanded perspective and bandwidth, not rank, and why the ego hates that distinction.
- Discomfort Is the Door: The exact moment your higher self shows up, it exposes every bias you have about spirituality itself. That friction? It’s the point.
