The Swabhava - Our real selves

"Swabhava is a concept and term frequently encountered in Dharmic traditions.  It means essential nature or, simply, one’s essence .  In metaphysics, the essence of something is composed by the immutable characteristics of the “matter”. The opposite of essence would be the accidental change that can occur upon them, giving it a mutable and changeable nature. Swabhava is what is inherent of the individual, the primeval function that does not depend on causal, temporal or spatial circumstances to exist: the true nature does not have an appearance.
The pure immutable Self is not touched by these changeable movements.  It witnesses without judgment and supports, by its intangible eternity, the human mutable nature in its vicissitudes. The real soul of the individual, the central being in us or who we truly are, is greater than these things, but accepts them in its outward evolution as a natural process in Nature. Swabhava means one thing in the highest spiritual nature and takes quite another form and significance in the lower nature of the three dimensions."  from Humanity Healing
Life is a lively process of becoming.

Basically, this is our life purpose.  To get back to our nature, our pure selves by experience, observation and learning. This is what Michael meant when he spoke about LOVE. We came from love, are love and will go back to love.  It is never ending, yet changeable through our vehicles.


**I have found more evidence on Michael's death and I'll be posting that information soon.  I'm checking out a few more details**
