Your WISDOM Note for the week of: AUGUST 26th, 2012

 Sometimes even Notes of WISDOM take a quiet reprieve.  If you've missed us...we're back!


Removing your MASK... Revealing YOUR TRUE Self

We spend a lot of time hiding parts of our self from others... and simultaneously from ourself.  We hide the parts we judge negatively, and are less happy with; as well as our 'dark' side - the behaviours and life choices that we are not proud of, and don't want others to know.

TRUTH is what you reveal when you step outside of your ego - away from all that you tell yourself in order to be 'right'.  TRUTH is what you reveal when you are willing to examine yourself honestly.


Begin revealing your TRUTH by being willing to acknowledge the parts of you that you keep hidden from others; what you dislike or self-loathe.  

Start by admitting truth to yourself.  This requires you to be aware of your thoughts and what 'stories' you may be telling yourself in order to continue doing what you've always done.  Consider the perspective or opinion of someone you trust and get clarity.  Trusting someone who is willing to be completely truthful is like having a mirror held up to you - you see what is being reflected back rather than what you want to see. 

Acknowledge what is correct or 'right' especially when you don't act based on your truth.  When you stop lying to yourself, it becomes easier to say and do the right thing in any situation. 

For those of you who find it challenging to face your truth, consider first giving up the need to blame others, rationalizing your behaviours, and making excuses.   Realize that it was simply your choices that created the outcome you are unhappy with.


Removing your mask is about honouring your need to live congruently in the world; to feel good about who you are and to no longer hide fragmented parts of yourself. 
Removing your mask means becoming whole - revealing your true SELF with confidence. 


This is how you experience the confidence that comes with knowing you no longer have anything to hide; you are honest in all of your relationships - and particularly in your relationship with 'self'.

We are all born with the inherent ability to know and live in TRUTH.  Truth is experienced as an inner knowing that resonates through us as energy.  We always know the correct and 'right' decision to guide us and to live by simply by going within ourself.  Acknowledging your true self simply means a return to living by what you already know is right.

Namaste everyone!
