The Overself never Changes
… Everything in the universe is liable to changes, because it was born and must die. We venerate God because He is not liable to change, being ever-existent and self-subsisting, birthless and deathless.

In a world of constantly changing scenes, fortunes, health, and relationships, a precious possession is the knowledge that there is the unseen Unchanging Real. Still more precious is awareness within oneself of ITS ever-presence.

There is no permanency anywhere except in ourselves. And even there it is so deep down, and so hard to find, that most people accept the mistaken idea that their ego’s ever-changing existence is the only real existence.

The Overself does not evolve and does not progress. These are activities which belong to time and space. It is nowhere in time and nowhere in space. It is Here, in this deep beautiful and all-pervading calm, that a man finds his real identity.

His higher self is not polluted by his own pollutions any more than sunlight is affected by the foul places in which it often shines.
14.22.3.3512013-05-11
The Overself is not only the best part of himself but also the unalterable part.

… The Overself never descends or climbs, never loses its own sublime consciousness. What really does this is something that emanates from it and that consequently holds its capacity and power in latency, something which is finited out of the Overself’s infinitude and becomes first, the simple unit of life and later, the complex human ego…

That which always remains the same, never changes, that is reality.
16.28.1.1032016-06-11
The Overself remains always the same and never changes in any way. It is the hunger for this quality, thought of as “peace of mind,” which drives men to seek the Overself amid the vicissitudes of health or fortune which they experience.

Not Descartes’ formula I think, therefore I am but the mystic’s The Soul is within me, therefore I am. For Descartes’ I is relative and changeful, whereas the mystic’s is absolute and permanent.

… Outwardly all differ but in the deepest root of consciousness all are the same.
6.8.1.156, Excerpt2013-07-16
Whereas every human personality is different in its characteristics from every other one, no human Overself is different in its characteristics from any other one. The seekers of all times and all places have always found one and the same divine being when they found the Overself.

It is a strange fact to which science as well as philosophy, experience as well as intuition, can testify, that thought from one mind can be brought into another mind, that the feeling of one man may affect the feeling of another without the use of written message or spoken word. If there were no common mind among all men, this could never happen, could never have been possible. If they were not all rooted in a universal consciousness, however secret and hidden it be, such silent transmission between their individual consciousnesses could never have been possible.

There is only one Overself for the whole race, but the point of contact with it is special and unique, and constitutes man’s higher individuality.
14.22.3.3812014-09-15
This is the paradox, that the Overself is at once universal and individual. It is the first because it overshadows all men as a single power. It is the second because it is found by each man within himself. It is both space and the point in space. It is infinite Spirit and yet it is also the holy presence in everyone’s heart.

… The deeper layers of the mind in which one man abides are indissolubly the same as the deeper layers of the mind in which his neighbour abides…

When a man discovers that the same Overself dwells in his enemy as in his own heart, how can he ever again bring himself to hate or injure another?
5.6.2.1262012-10-24
When insight arises, the passions become subdued and the problems which beset man become solved of their own accord. We may quarrel and kill whilst we remain in ignorance, but we must needs feel for and with each other when we comprehend at long last that in the Overself we are one.
5.6.4.1672013-01-07
The same Overself is behind us all, contains us all.
