The Inner Core ‘I’ Consciousness Model emphasizes the transformative power of aligning individual dharma with absolute dharma. This alignment is not merely a conceptual exercise but a practical and spiritual awakening, where every thought, virtue, and action becomes naturally attuned to the flow of universal truth.

The model outlines how individuals can first become aware of their unique dharma—personal purpose and responsibilities—and then transcend to absolute dharma, the universal flow of pure being, where the Inner ‘I’ that says “I Am” emerges as the foundation of all thought and action.

Core Principles of the Inner Core ‘I’ Model

1. Absolute Dharma as the Source of All Virtue

Absolute dharma is the underlying intelligence of the universe. It is the silent foundation of natural law that governs and sustains all existence. By enlivening pure being through practices like meditation and self-inquiry, individuals access this source.

From this state, virtues such as compassion, integrity, and wisdom arise spontaneously. Actions become effortless, guided by the universal flow, free from egoic desires or conflicts.

2. Awareness of Individual Dharma

Individual dharma is the specific role or purpose one is meant to fulfill in life. It is unique to each person, shaped by circumstances, talents, and inner calling.

• Reflection: To discover individual dharma, one must reflect on their natural inclinations, responsibilities, and inner voice.

• Alignment: Living individual dharma means acting in harmony with one’s deepest truth while remaining flexible and open to the greater whole.

3. The Bridge Between Individual and Absolute Dharma

• The Inner Core ‘I’ acts as the bridge between individual dharma and absolute dharma.

• When individuals live from the Inner ‘I’, their actions naturally align with universal truth.

• This alignment empowers decision-making, fosters harmony, and dissolves inner and outer conflict.

How the Inner Core ‘I’ Model Supports Dharma

1. Thoughts

• Thoughts originating from the Inner ‘I’ are clear, intuitive, and aligned with dharma.

• By quieting the mind through meditation, we reduce reactive or ego-driven thoughts, allowing wisdom from pure consciousness to emerge.

2. Virtues

• Virtues such as humility, courage, and empathy are not forced but flow naturally when connected to absolute dharma.

• The Inner Core ‘I’ ensures that virtues are not situational but consistent, rooted in universal principles.

3. Actions

• Actions taken from the state of pure being are effective and non-destructive.

• They are free from attachment to outcomes, as described in the Bhagavad Gita: “Established in being, perform action without desire for its fruit.”

Steps to Enliven and Maintain the Inner ‘I’ Link

1. Self-Inquiry

• Regularly ask reflective questions like:

• “What is my unique role in this moment?”

• “How can I align my actions with the greater good?”

2. Meditation on the Inner ‘I’

• Practice a daily 20-minute meditation focused on the mantra “I Am.”

• Gently bring your attention to the center of your forehead (third eye) and allow thoughts to settle into silence.

3. Action Guided by Stillness

• Before acting, pause to center yourself in the silent awareness of your Inner ‘I.’

• Ask: “Does this action reflect my dharma?”

Benefits of the Inner Core ‘I’ Model

1. Clarity in Decision-Making:

• By accessing absolute dharma, individuals make choices that benefit both themselves and the larger whole.

2. Empowerment of Virtues:

• Virtues become a natural expression of being, rather than an effortful pursuit.

3. Global Harmony:

• When individuals live in alignment with absolute dharma, collective consciousness rises, fostering peace and cooperation.

Contemplations

To live dharma—individually and globally—we must first turn inward. The Inner Core ‘I’ Consciousness Model provides a framework for awakening to pure being, where every thought, virtue, and action is supported and empowered by the silent intelligence of absolute dharma.

First, I must know myself as “That I Am.” Only then can I act from the eternal foundation of truth, creating a life and world in harmony with the divine.
