Now what is the lower self, what is known as the lower self is the "state" you carry around, everywhere you go. Simply put, it is you, yourself, your temple, the body in which you are in and can make things, have choices, as cleaning, talking, having conversations, driving a car, meeting people, going into situations for work, working for an income so you can live if needed, going to parties, interacting with nature, thinking and thoughts that come about from the ego and other people telepathy etc... lighter thoughts and ways of thinking are forms of ego in transmutation to a higher consciousness (Interacting with nature as example)... basically the two brain hemispheres are the driving force between how are lives are being conveyed Lightly or with pressure and disorganization up to our lives being lived in and out, in body and out. The Lower self has an awareness a consciousness a view point. To sum it up the lower self is you (Being).
