The false self is the idea that you are merely the person you appear to be in the Fourth Principle of God, manifestation. Believing that idea is a mistake. It’s more correct to see you—especially your way of being—as the creative process, the Third Principle of God. Awakening to unity consciousness is realizing that you are the Second Principle of God, witness of both the creative principle and manifestation. Ultimate awakening is realizing that you are beyond consciousness; you are life-awareness, the source of everything, the First Principle of God.
One that is the source of everything is everything, including each and every temporary manifestation, because each and every temporary manifestation is made from the reality of that one.
In NTI, the First Principle of God is called Life. The Second Principle of God is called spirit. The Third Principle of God is called creation. The Fourth Principle of God is called form. You are all of them, because you are Life, which is the source and the essence of them all.
NTI Philemon is written to you as spirit, the Second Principle of God. Spirit is the first evolution that transpired out of source. The creative principle and manifestation emerge from spirit (consciousness).
Spirit is brilliance and freedom.
Life-awareness (love) is absolute openness and unlimited potentiality.
To see everything in manifestation as the effect of brilliance, created in freedom, manifest through and as love is truth realization.

Thoughts of Awakening # 234
When one realizes
that he is not the one
he previously thought he was,
he is ready to attain
a permanent sense of Self.
He is ready to awaken to Self.
But when one believes fully
that he is what he is not,
he has no true interest
in Self-realization.
Ask yourself, “What am I?”
and let the belief in self
be washed away
through seeing that its limits
cannot be You.
