Holistic simply means wholeness, Holistic self has two components – the Outer self or superficial self is what we experience in this existence and inner self or deeper-self is what we are or real content.
Superficial self or outer self involves a peripheral component– physical self, psychological self, emotional self & ecological self – where time and space exist– Generally what we experience.
Deeper self or inner self has central component – atomic stuff of 99.9999999% empty like / pure being / Quantum essence/ inner self / devoid of time and space. This central component is what we really we are. Here we need to note it is deep sleep like state where the ego I disappears. Normally we are in this state during our intrauterine period of 9 months , during newborn period, when body &mind dies and we can be rooted in this state 24×7 if we minus our perception.
Self awareness means just knowing yourself. It can be considered as a User’s- Manual for life. Outer self is Truth outside; Inner self is Truth inside both constitutes Wholeness or Oneness. Understanding outer self and its care is a priority education. activities in the Outer self such as thinking, planning, imagining, seeing, listening, touching, tasting, hugging etc, which originates from body, mind and ecosystem are masking our inner self. Hence integrating truth of outside [outer-self] and truth inside [inner- self] give us wholeness & promotes holistic self-awareness.
More we know about wholeness of self, the better we can handle ourselves.To summarise we have 5 divisions in self awareness namely physical self, psychological self, emotional self & ecoself as outer self [periphery with time and space]. 5th is inner self or pure self which is atomic stuff or Quantum essence as central which has no time and space. This inner self is the center of us and is fundamental to all peripheral 4 self namely physical self, mental self, emotional self & ecoself.
