Inner-Self:
Also referred to as the 'Sub-Conscious' by western Psychologists.

Webster's Dictionary defines the sub-conscious as:-

'Occurring without the possibility or the fact of an attendant consciousness; said of states of the soul'.

I use the term Inner-Self so as to not identify with any particular form of psychology or religious belief. It is not the 'soul' as understood by most religious beliefs, but an 'intelligence' that connects to the Higher-Self.

The Inner-Self does not have the ability to reason and discriminate like the Conscious or Ego mind. You make the decisions that the Inner-Self must follow. It is not like an 'adult', more like a 'child', sometimes the Inner-Self is referred to as the Inner Child.

The Inner-Self is often believed to be the opposite gender to our body e.g. if you are male the Inner-Self is female in orientation, this allows for as certain amount of balance within our conscious levels of being. It believes what you tell it, your beliefs, thoughts, words and actions all impress upon the Inner-Self. The Inner-Self then communicates with the Higher-Self using symbols and imagery, which allows the Higher-Self to create your reality. The Inner-Self makes no judgments upon the information supplied by your conscious mind. If you keep repeating an action or thought that is making your life miserable, the Inner-Self has no control over this, it cannot take action or create a reality that has not been provided by yourself, even if another course of action would make your life more pleasant. You have 'freewill', the choices in life are always yours, no matter what circumstances you have found yourself in, you have chosen that experience. But the upside is that you have the ability to change your circumstances for the better. You create your reality. You can create a world far removed from your present circumstances. The choice is yours.

Higher-Self:
Also referred to as the 'Super-Conscious' by western Psychologists or Soul by religious groups. I make no claims for this part of our being only to say that it is the part that helps to look after us, to care and love us. It helps to create our reality as we have specified and designed it. It never interferes with our life because we have 'freewill'. But we can ask that the Higher-Self come into our life to help and guide us, but we need to ASK.

As individuals we don’t always feel our connection to other human beings. But the Higher-Self is consciously connected to each other Higher-Self from the human and animal kingdoms. The Higher-Self can ask help from other Higher Selves in creating your reality as long as it does not interfere with their duty to their own human host.
