Believe

Call it Soul, Spirit, or the Authentic Self:

The part of you that accesses fresh ways of seeing and being can also marshall incredible resources. The most creative aspects of consciousness are the hardest to define and pin down. In trying to form a solid, predictable identity, you lose contact with the vital presence of your true self.

 

We can fall into the trap of identifying exclusively with images of who we are. Encouraged to practice the fine art of ego building from the day we are born, we learn to deftly slice off shards of what we don’t want to be while refining the qualities we think would be the most pleasing.

 

Parents, teachers, and peers are the first critics we encounter; we internalize their aesthetics over time, trying to live up to their expectations. These facades we don for the sake of fitting in become just that facades.

Learning to separate ourselves from the facades or, masks we wear and the masks we expect others to wear is the challenge of a lifetime. 

They’re not only attracted to authenticity, but they can also help people shift out of ego orientation into an experience of pure presence.  Aligning  yourself with the Authentic you; free, from facades is a gift only you can give to yourself. Way of the Horse Oracles.
