We have a choice – to show up with our false self or our true self, every moment of the day. Yet without even realizing it, we easily slip into our false self masks, and our true self gets covered up.
In today’s episode we will notice our tendencies – notice how our false self is showing up and how it behaves. It may be striving, grasping, running, numbing, hiding – just to name a few. But it is all for the purposes of feeling a sense of false self-protection.
We will identify a mask in our current lives, and dig into its root, so we can let go and accept reality as it is, which is when movement towards wholeness and healing can take place.
For our listening portion today:
“Let Something Essential Happen to Me”
O God,
let something essential happen to me,
something more than interesting,
or entertaining,
or thoughtful.
O God,
let something essential happen to me,
something awesome,
something real.
Speak to my condition, Lord,
and change me somewhere inside where it matters . . .
Let something essential happen in me
which is my real self, God.
—Ted Loder, Guerrillas of Grace, 2004
