— “Life is made up of relationships, and each relationship is a mirror of your Self.”
What kind of masks have you been wearing to survive?
Until now, you haven’t really seen your masks because you were looking out at life, warding off triggers, defending against outside threats. As you begin to look inward, you will see your masks and understand why they’ve become part of your life. The prisoners in Plato’s cave didn’t want to abandon the life they’d grown accustomed to because they felt naked, vulnerable, and were terrified about leaving. And it’s OK that they felt that way. Likewise, we don’t need to shun our survival tactics, call our egos bad, or feel ashamed about our masks. We just need to embrace who we are and build our paths from this new, deeper understanding. We need to accept all of our faults and shortcomings and move into a higher consciousness, which will then allow us to view our past experiences as gifts contributing to a future, higher life—a life we all deserve to live.
