Unveiling the True Self: A Journey into Inner Peace with the Rune IS.


In the labyrinth of life, where roles intertwine and personas dance, there lies a hidden sanctuary, a sacred space where true nature resides. This is the domain of the Rune IS, the ninth rune of the ancient Futhorck alphabet, a beacon of inner strength and unity that guides us towards the essence of our being.

IS, with its unwavering presence, reminds us that we are not merely the sum of our roles, the masks we wear in the theater of life. Beneath these fleeting personas lies the true self, an eternal flame that burns brightly amidst the shifting currents of existence.

The true self, untainted by external storms, stands as a silent observer, witnessing the ebb and flow of emotions, thoughts, and actions. It is a sanctuary of tranquility, a reservoir of unwavering integrity and grace.

Today, heeding the call of IS, I embark on a journey into the depths of my true self. With each step, I delve deeper into the realm of pure being, where effortless action meets effortless perception.

The path to this inner sanctum is not one of strenuous effort or forced striving. Instead, it is a gentle surrender, a letting go of the masks and personas that hold us captive. It is a journey of self-discovery, of uncovering the hidden treasures that lie dormant within.

As I navigate this path, I am reminded of the Norse mindset, where war was a means of survival, but peace remained the ultimate goal. True strength, after all, resides not in external conquests but in the unwavering serenity of the true self.

In this pursuit of inner peace, I invite you to join me. Let us together embark on this exploration of the Rune IS, seeking the wisdom and guidance it offers. Together, we can unveil the true selves that lie dormant within, embracing the tranquility that awaits us in the depths of our being.

What is the true self?

The self without masks or pretense. Neither the doer, nor the thinker, the true self is found in the observer. The true self is not found in ordinary everyday memories but hidden in the memory of the astral field.
The true self is not defined by the many i’s we give expression to, in all the roles we play every day . The observer is the true self for the observer records every action and intent in meticulous detail. Not just every action, thought and emotion is captured but also the function of life within each cell within the body.
The true self has its own moral compass borrowed from the divine…. It is the authentic self within that never sleeps and which is always ready and present to guide forward from its own fount of wisdom. The true self manifests as the impulse before an action, the rhythm of breathing, the spark between synapses in the nervous system.
It cannot be lied to nor can it be deceived and yet it is that one part within that stands free from judgement, complete in perfection yet still clothing itself with new experiences. The true self judges every action and thought against the law of love. It collaborates with the Oversoul to manifest every thought into being so that conscious man can experience the result. Slowly it raises the integrity, clarity and coherence of being to a refined expression of a creative spirit driven by noble thoughts and constructive action.
The true self is without fear and beyond the space time limitation, without pain nor hurt. When the consequences of the doer’s actions or the thinker’s thoughts result in pain and suffering, then it is the authentic self that comes to bring the courage to persist, the consolation to hope and the creative inspiration to find new ways.
The true self is met and allowed to express itself when we strengthen our thoughts with concentration and visualization and when we find meaning in deep silent contemplation. Then thought can become still and the observer can speak with the voice of Intuition. Then the true self will bring an enriching illumination to our inner world so that we can perceive things as they are and as they are meant to be.
That is the awakening of the true self within, calling it to its rightful place to guide our thoughts and action to be the creative, inspired individuals we are, with the insight to contribute endlessly toward the expression of unity, perfection and beauty that beams a pervasive love outward and breaths within wisdom and understanding.
