Skillnaden mellan "hjärtat" (4D) och "Det högre hjärtat" (5D)

The Ordinary Heart (Anahata) – the emotional center, often caught in samsaric cycles

The True Self (Higher Heart / Thymus) – the soul-level self, connected to divine love

The Transcendent Self (Above the Crown) – the absolute, beyond identity, Self beyond self

These are different strata of consciousness, and they represent stages of awakening and spiritual identity. Let’s go into deep comparative detail across function, spiritual psychology, metaphysics, and liberation.

🟢 1. The "Ordinary Heart" – Anahata Chakra

Samsaric Emotional Self / Ego-Emotional Center

🧠 Identity:

Personal emotional self

Related to your identity in this lifetime: your attachments, relationships, likes/dislikes

Operates within karma and emotional patterns inherited and developed over lifetimes

💔 Subject to:

Samsara – the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth

Emotional suffering, trauma, codependency

Attachment and aversion

Conditional love: “I love you if...”

🌀 Level of Consciousness:

4th-dimensional (astral)

Often dually-bound: love and loss, joy and heartbreak

Interpersonal and collective emotional fields

🔗 Energetic Characteristics:

Air element

Bridge between lower (body, identity) and higher (mind, spirit) chakras

Seat of emotional healing

🌍 Spiritual Function:

Teaches compassion through suffering

Develops empathy, forgiveness, and human love

But still operates within ego, even if "spiritualized ego"

💗 2. The "True Self" – Higher Heart / Thymus Chakra

Soul Self / Christic Consciousness / Seat of Divine Love

💎 Identity:

The Soul or Higher Self in active form

Embodies the eternal individual spark of divinity, operating within creation

Not caught in ego or time, but still individualized

💗 Not Subject to Samsara:

It chooses incarnation out of love and purpose (dharma), not karma

It is the witness and guide to the personality/ego-self

Associated with the “I AM Presence” – the true spiritual identity

🕊️ Level of Consciousness:

5th-dimensional and above (Causal Plane, Christ Grid)

Vibration of Divine Compassion, Unity-in-diversity

Selfless service and universal love

🔗 Energetic Characteristics:

Center of the light body activation

Connected to the thymus gland, which fades in physical adulthood but remains active spiritually

Feels like divine presence in the heart space – non-attached, all-encompassing love

🌌 Spiritual Function:

Brings soul-purpose, divine mission, and sacred service

Helps resolve karma by infusing divine love into the lower self

Begins the transcendence of duality – acts out of unity, not reaction

👑 3. The "Transcendent Self" – Above the Crown Chakra (8D and beyond)

The Absolute / Atman / Paramatman / Brahman / Pure Awareness

☀️ Identity:

No identity – this is the formless, non-dual, eternal Self

Not the soul, not the ego – but pure awareness, sat-chit-ananda (being-consciousness-bliss)

Known in Vedanta as Atman (Self), and ultimately identical with Brahman

🚫 Beyond Samsara:

Not in time or form

Not born, not dying, not incarnated

It is consciousness itself – the experiencer behind all experience

✨ Level of Consciousness:

8D to 12D+ (in dimensional models)

Infinite intelligence, pure light, void-like awareness

Buddhic, Atmic, and Monad levels in theosophy

💠 Energetic Characteristics:

Located above the crown, or even infinitely beyond form

Connected via antahkarana or silver cord to the lower vehicles

Feels like void stillness, infinite space, or a sense of being everything and nothing

🔥 Spiritual Function:

Realization of the non-dual truth: “I am That”

Liberation (moksha, nirvana) occurs when one realizes oneself as this pure awareness

Dissolves ego, soul identity, form identity

🧭 Analogy for Integration

Anahata is the boat in the ocean – it carries you emotionally.

Higher Heart is the sail – catching the wind of soul purpose, propelling you forward.

Transcendent Self is the ocean itself – never moves, always present, the source.
