In this Category, you are learning to look for,  read and interpret,  the guidance that is available to us all of the time,  from Spirit;  indeed, from the whole Spirit Realm  as we are  gently guided and drawn into Unity Consciousness.   

You have already been introduced to the idea -  more than once if you are a regular visitor to this site! -  that everything that you believe is “out there” in the world, is actually a manifestation of your psyche: your own inner world, or inner landscape. Yet, you need to see and experience this truth for yourself: that your outer and inner worlds are inextricably  linked. The overall aim of this Category, therefore, is  to assist you to see in a new way, so that you become  more spiritually awakened and aware. 

Unfortunately, until we attain Unity Consciousness (Enlightenment) we suffer  under the illusion that we are a separate being, separate and apart  from everyone and everything else in existence.  It  all seems a bit of a tangle, but I assure you, you can and will awaken from the dream of separation if you want to.  Think of it this way: at present you are probably, mostly,  seeing everything through a pair of dark glasses that have obscured your vision, but, you are starting to remove them.

 Dropping Our Masks.

You are quite right, we do burden ourselves and others when we try ”to please, impress and perfect, etc. others.”  One of our most significant spiritual leaps is when we decide to  drop the masks we wear, worn in part in order to conceal what we consider are our human frailties and shortcomings,  and to present what we believe is a better- self, or “face,” to the world. (My series, “Quest For the Soul,” examines how  and why we  manufacture these false-selves, or masks. ) Our task, as we journey towards wholeness and enlightenment, is to become aware of these masks,  and,  learn how to let them go.
