It’s been an interesting couple of days for me. As a psychic I often have spiritual growth spurts when new information drops in whether I like it or not. Sometimes this is challenging because it makes me see things a different way. My boundaries are pushed and the Universe asks me to go further into my awareness and expand myself and my capacity. Quite frankly, it can turn my world upside down and inside out as realisations challenge everything that has gone before.
The last few days have been like that. In one instance, I walked past someone and, although I know them well and felt their energy in every part of me, my eyes didn’t recognise them because I saw only the mask they were showing the rest of the world. I knew the person underneath but I didn’t recognise the person they were showing to the outside world.
That was a shock for me, but I shouldn’t have been surprised. When we try to play a role we believe is expected of us, we all put on a mask. It’s how we cope. ‘Maybe if I act like everything is okay and act like this role fits me, it will,’ we think.
But it doesn’t work.
Most people will be taken in by the mask because we can be very convincing. We will even convince ourselves that it fits for a while. But eventually our mask will slip, usually when we find ourselves with time on our hands and no one is around to distract us, and that’s when the realisations really start. Our mask falls to the floor and we realise we can’t and don’t want to play that role anymore. We don’t want to be that person we’re ‘supposed’ to be. We have to look at ourselves, go deep and face the truth within.
We want something different. We want to be the person we are on the inside. And often that person, our authentic self, is not the person we’ve been raised to be or who our culture expects us to be.
Some of us, maybe even you, will still try to wear the mask. And you may succeed for a while. But it will never really fit properly because the Universe will be asking you to go in another direction. It’s asking you to follow your heart and be who you truly are. And it’s asking you to listen to your inner voice to help you get where you need to be.
I know the person I saw the other day will have to remove their mask eventually and their outside will match their inside again. I’m looking forward to that day because that person on the inside is amazing.
In the meantime I know I can help other people who have already felt their mask slip.
I’m running a course that will help them find their way back to their authentic selves and empower them to chart their own path forward in a way that fits them.
If you’d like to know more and it feels right for you, I’d encourage you to visit the information on this website about my Nights for Spiritual Beginners – Introductory Course (see http://wp.me/Pirqj-g1) which begins this Wednesday in Brisbane. I’d love to see you there.
I think personal empowerment is a sorely under taught practice in any craft. I’ve been asked to teach, and so I am, but not on the usual manner. I’m training these women to empower themselves, or take their power back as it were. I can’t stress enough how important empowerment is, but also, how much much more Important Personal Empowerment is. I’m glad I’m not the only one seeing the disparity between ‘visualize your world’ and, ‘no! Not like that! Like this stupid!’……grrrr, just that alone is ridiculous. I’m used to the jumps anymore, and I admit, I get excited when I feel one coming. It used to catch me by surprise, a total, ‘coulda had a v8’ forehead thunk LOL, but as I stopped robbing myself of my own personal power, something fanfriggintabulous happened: I wasn’t as surprised, because I already knew, and my readings went through the roof.
I think it’s great you’re doing classes! That will be wonderful for anyone who does need support and who would also like to show there’s. Have fun!! ?☀
Thanks so much for your support oddgirltnextdoor 🙂 I too believe that our path is to know ourselves first and then we can help others to do the same. To live as we’ve been raised or expected to be is unlikely to bring anyone lasting happiness. We must choose to live the life we are meant to live; the life our soul is born to live. x
The life we choose ^_^
Sorry, haven’t been on much, but I very much appreciate the reply so soon…mobile problems, figures don’t it? Hehehe ^_~
