Revealing Your True Self

A perspective on truth from a spiritualist point of view.

What would happen if at the count of three everyone in the world’s mask fell off. Simple, everyone would see each other’s core. All the accumulated layers like paper mache, which went into the construction of your mask, would be gone.

What’s left is your authentic self. Imagine the abundance of energy you would have, not having to decipher, decode and interpret what the other person is wanting us to see. The pure intent and integrity of each person is revealed. How liberating it would be to look in the mirror and be the first person to see your own intent and integrity, on every thought and action you’ve taken in the past and what choices you will make now and in the future.

What if the intention and integrity reflected in the mirror does not resonate with the authentic you? What if by simply changing your thoughts, you could move back to being authentic? Now that you like and approve of who you see in the mirror, you have all the energy you need to attract and have fulfilling relationships with a mate, children, employers who in turn love and approve of you just the way you are.

We’ve all heard the expression the truth will set you free. This is a misnomer, free implies no cost. However, for one to reach truth and reveal truth demands an investment. The X files would have you believe the truth is out there… When in fact anyone who has signed on and traveled the journey to truth, knows the truth lies inside each of us.

In our fast paced, quick fix lives, even if one were interested in the journey, they’re looking for “Can we do this over the lunch hour, does health insurance cover it, is there a script to pop two truth pills and be on time to catch my morning flight. Better still, can I leave my body with you and I’ll be back to pick it up after my business meeting?"

Why can’t we look in the mirror and see the truth? Better still, where does this truth that’s inside our body, live, or more to the point, hide? I don’t remember making this mask, and have no clue where the layers of paper mache came from.

The only question you have to ask is “Am I ready to see the truth and deal with it?” Ask with all your heart and the Universe will bridge you to a facilitator (or facilitation) to help you help yourself. The help could come in the form of a therapist, healer, book, chance meeting or the bag lady begging on the street. Be on the alert and see each person you meet as a potential bridge to insights of truth.

Just as possibly, you might have insights to others’ truths. That is the purest intention of the spirituality. Your spirit is here to offer, knowingly or not, help with another’s journey to truth, as their spirit is for you. The mystery is never quite revealed who is the giver and who is the receiver at any given moment. Therefore, see each interaction as no coincidence, but an opportunity to fulfill a spirit’s potential.

Today, I hope to be a bridge for those who have serendipitously glanced at this article.

As a practicing Chakra Balance therapist since 1985, I have seen my fair share of skeptics and have always maintained that skepticism with an open mind is just plain smart. However, skepticism with a closed mind will never even allow for the possibility of what might be learned.

Getting back to where does this truth live in your body: it resides in your cells. Each cell has the genetic blueprint to reproduce a whole person. Therefore, each cell has a brain of its own and is capable of sending messages to different parts of the body. Not every message comes from the brain. Each cell that holds truths cannot always be easily accessed and therefore like a computer with a glitch in it, the body’s computer cannot always call up and discern the files’ messages.

What is in the files is the guts of truth. During the nine months of living in our mother’s womb, we’re forced to begin opening files and storing mother’s energy. Unfortunately, if mom has stress, and it’s not dealt with, the residual negative energy that she stores in her cells is also transmitted to our cells, just as the nutrients or drugs she ingests are transmitted to the baby.

Many believe the soul enters the body at inception and brings files of unresolved past lives (referred to as negative karmic patterns) that will need addressing during that body’s lifetime. Before birth, the cells are already holding stress in the form of negative energy, and at birth there is one more ingredient of stress to start the newborn on its journey and provide the layers to hold the mask firmly in place.

At birth we are not only physically naked but we are all born with low self-esteem, which is also visible to all who see us. The low self-esteem is a gift and a curse. We cover our naked body with a blanket and our naked esteem with a mask. It is also a gift because if we were all born with a high self esteem, every day would be like ground hog day, perfect, serene, with no need to ask why were are here on earth? What is our purpose? Nothing to learn, nowhere to grow.

The manifestation of our collective masks is seen in wars, hate, fears, divorce, abuse, prejudice and all that ails our society.

Now, imagine you could take a probe deep into the cells and scoop out the negative energy (your hidden karmic pattern).

Bring it out to your conscious mind and peel layer after layer off until you reach your authentic self. (See below.)

There are many gifted counselors, healers and helpers out there to help you. When looking for someone, make sure his or her intention is never to take your power away. Make sure their goals are to help you self-help, always acknowledging you are in control of your journey. There are many wonderful books on self-help, intuitive healing, spirituality, past lives, soul’s purpose and even on scientific proof that the brain is in every cell (Candice Pert and Dr. Bruce Lipton, The Biology of Belief). Go to your local library or bookstore and see what you are attracted to.

If you haven’t been able to find someone to help you as of yet, here are some questions you can examine yourself. Make a list of all your stress symptoms. These include physical and emotional. On another piece of paper list all your hopes, dreams and aspirations. Here is a simple way to ask yourself questions that can lead to the truth and reveal your mask.

Symptoms

1. Sore throat – what am I not saying that is stuck in my throat?
2. Stomach ache – poor digestion – when it’s not the peanut you ate. What stories am I pushing down that keep accumulating, that my stomach cannot digest?
3. Overeating to the point of vomiting – an emptiness that food will not fill.
4. What negative pattern (Karma) do I always seem to attract in my life? It feels like a craving for sweets that has to be filled.

Goals

1. Loving relationships
2. Good health
3. Financial security
4. Joy and peace

Find a quiet place where you have ten uninterrupted minutes and focus by asking the questions (to yourself or out loud). Ask with a mediation or a prayer of your choice. How you do it is not as important as your intention for doing it.

Keep searching for the truth. You may not get what you want; you will get what you need.

Love and Light,
