Masks

Personality as such is false. The word "personality" has to be understood. It comes from persona;
persona means mask. In ancient drama the actors used to wear masks.
Those masks were called personae - personae because the sound was
coming from behind the mask. Sona means sound. The masks were
apparent to the audience and from behind the mask the sound was coming.
From that word persona has come the word "personality."

All
personality is false. Good personality, bad personality, the
personality of a sinner and the personality of a saint - all are false.
You can wear a beautiful mask or an ugly mask, it doesn't make a
difference.

The real thing is your essence.

Personality
is also a necessary part of growth. It is like if you catch hold of a
fish in the sea and you throw it on the shore; the fish jumps back into
the sea. Now for the first time it will know that it has always lived
in the sea; for the first time it will know that, "The sea is my life."
Up to now, before it was caught and thrown on the shore, it may not
ever have thought of the sea at all; it may have been utterly oblivious
of the sea.

To know something, first you have to lose it.

To be aware of paradise, first you have to lose it. Unless it is lost and regained you will not understand the beauty of it.

Spiritual Awareness

Spiritual Awareness by Evette Gardner It does not take a great effort (or any effort at all actually) to grow in spiritual awareness. Just be aware, that's all. Spiritual awareness is simply about being mindful of spiritual Truths. You don't have to go around obsessing about these Truths to be aware of them. Nor is there really any need to constantly immerse yourself in deep thought in order to break through and "see the (spiritual) light." Spiritual awareness is not something that you can gain by force. You cannot compel yourself to become more spiritually aware, you merely have to be open to what is already within you. Are you aware that the sky is blue? Or that sugar tastes sweet? These truths, in general, are universally elementary. Realizing them does not take any degree of deep thought or obsessive contemplation. They are just things that you are aware of. You don't have to go around constantly reminding yourself that the sky is blue or that sugar ta...

Today’s Key to Spiritual Growth

  Today’s Key to Spiritual Growth by Owen Waters The heart-centered consciousness of the New Reality includes an expanded viewpoint of the world; one which encourages service to others. The emerging theme today is about more than social responsibility or supporting the general good. It’s about how much you can help others through your efforts. When it comes to spiritual growth, the same expanded viewpoint applies. The key to spiritual progress today is not retreating into a cave to find enlightenment, but giving active spiritual service. Today, spiritual progress is to be found in the noise and clatter of a world caught up in the turmoil of rapid change. Your greatest opportunity for spiritual growth occurs, paradoxically, when catastrophe strikes. No matter where it strikes, you can send positive energy to change the energy of the situation and bring relief and healing. If you are a spiritual healer, you already know how to do this. If you are a person...

As the World Rises

As the World Rises Heavenletters Someone has to step out of the mold, and I think that someone is you. Step out of the established patterns without fanfare. It is not that you give up the world. It is just that you start following your heart. Sometimes you haven't heard your heart. You haven't consulted it. You may not have even considered it. Many times you have simply followed along on a march that many follow along on and yet where your heart is not. Nevertheless, your heart is beating, and now you begin to listen to it. For how long can you neglect your heart? For how long can you follow a march that isn't your heart's beat? When you listen to your heart, your life may not seem so different on the outside, yet the path you have stepped out of is the well-beaten past. The past no longer holds you in its thrall. Love your heart, and love what it tells you. You are not, beloved, meant to be a marionette nor are you to pretend to yourself that you are. And,...
