Seven layers of existence...

-Body

-Breath

-Mind

-Intellect

-Memory

-Ego 'I'

-Soul or self

The seven layers of existence. What are they? The body, the breath — many times we are not even aware that we are breathing. And that's something, which keeps our body alive, we don't care to look into it. Our breath has great secrets to offer.

Then comes the mind. Mind is perception, observation and expression. Then is the intellect — the judgement, the arguments, the agreement or disagreement that happens within us is all part of our intellect. The memory — if you observe the memory, it stores the memory of unpleasant things much more than the pleasant. We take the insults and preserve it in our memory much more than the pleasant events. This is the nature of memory.

Then comes the ego — One should have a sense of belongingness with everybody, naturalness. Ego dampens one's personality. This ego of ''I know better'' takes away certain beautiful things from our life.

The seventh layer is the self. Self shines through when you have dealt with Breath-Mind-Intellect-Memory-Ego.

Habits come in the way of us to connect with our self.

A little bit of knowledge about these seven layers of existence makes a big, big difference in our lives. It brings cheer, freshness, and we become so alive and childlike. If you are cheerful, you will be creative. Otherwise you are so dull.

We need to bring in creative ideas — it brings in self-esteem. Without self-esteem there is no creativity.
