My understanding is fourfold really.
Firstly the understanding of four parts of non physical self. For the sake of words I will divide these up into soul, spirit, heart and true self.
Then I look at the various functions, qualities of each. Then I apply those qualities to life and thus learn more and more. Actions of the no self, the non physical, both the actions and potentials of and the capacity of.
Thus love (heart), center (self) kindness (spirit) peacefulness (soul)
Soul wise I can then ask if I am at peace with something. Spirit wise I then ask if I am calmly addressing and handling something. Self wise I ask is it good. Love wise I ask am I loving life regarding something. So this orientates me and shows where I need to increase my understanding, what I need to come to terms with and leads me towards how best to overcome it. A path of self development.
Another quality of love is welcoming so I can check if I am welcoming for example. Inviting on the other hand is a quality of soul. Giving non disturbance, non opposition, is a quality of spirit. Whilst admiring is a quality of true self or no self.
So these are a few ways I address things in daily life and I believe are of the no self rather than ego.
Peace.G.
