Realization of the Personal Essence is Essential Birth
Rebirth is a recurrent theme in the literature of inner
transformation. Inner transformation is primarily a
death and rebirth, the death of an old
identity and the birth of a new one, on a deeper level of
reality. While we can see the realization of each essential aspect as a process of death and rebirth, it is the discovery of the
Personal Essence which is actually felt by many students as the birth of who they are. It is the true birth of the
Human Being, and is recognized as such by the experiencer himself. If the
development of the separate
individuality of the
ego is the psychological birth of the individual, then the realization of the Personal Essence is his essential birth.
