Masks and the Soul
There is a lot of talk these days about soul, which is another way of talking about an authentic self. When you are identified with your 'public' self and have lost touch with your true desires and passions, you are out of alignment with your soul. Your soul knows what is best for you and longs to bring you back to your true self. Your soul is your authentic self calling out to you, guiding you back home to the fullest expression of your true self.
The true you is unique in the universe and is, so, vitally important. When you stay behind a 'mask' you look and behave like a lot of other people who have donned similar masks, instead of the fresh, shining presence of your genuine self. Most of the world consists of masked people, busily relating to other masked people, taking their masks ever so seriously, fervently caught up in work that is someone else's work. They participate in relationships cluttered with defenses, unwittingly teaching their children to build the same masks they have worn all their lives. They never embark on a spiritual quest, going through an entire life without discovering who they truly are.
This, the difference between spiritual and non-spiritual people.
