At first, you believe that it’s only a mask that you can take off at any moment you choose to, but before you realize it, it has become a part of you, and you a part of it. Forgetting that you were wearing a mask at all. People seemed to love and accept you more with that mask covering your real face.
So when another is handed to you to be placed on top of the one that was already there, you do not question it, or the feelings that it creates deep inside of you. Even though this mask has a different feel from the first one you feel obligated to wear it as though it was your own face.
Your real face, the Authentic face has now been forgotten and you must continue to place yet another mask to cover the last one until you become so utterly lost to the truth of you!
Not knowing who the real face is beneath all those masks that you have worn to have love and acceptance in a world that made you believe that being ‘you’ without those masks was not enough, and you had to change who you were, to become someone different to gain love and acceptance.
Those masks though, become heavy with burdens and distorted illusions of “who you really are” Still the real face beneath all of those masks that your parents, society, and the world asked of you, forced you, expected you to wear, waits to be revealed. For you to see your true beauty and worth.
To know thyself deeper than those masks, expectations, and fear.
Those masks made you believe that you had to be someone that you were not to receive love and acceptance to be in a world that was fake and not accepting of your true Authenticity.
Each year more masks for you to wear, more illusions and falsehoods, and more of ‘you’ dissolving away into an abyss of lies, illusions, and fears.
Taking you further and further away from your glorious truth. Trapped in a realm of inner turmoil from the feelings of being lost to yourself, abandoning who you really are and what you really are. Allowing those illusions to take over your life.
Separated from what you once knew deep in your heart.
Yes, you believed it, that eternal moment the first mask was presented to you, you believed that it would be easy to take it off whenever you chose! but my love you still wear that mask! The one that you fear removing.
It is this mask that you must peel off yourself with the deepest love and acceptance in your heart
You must find your true face and know that in God's eyes, you are enough as you are.
Divinely perfect in all ways. Not the body, the intellect, or even the personality! Your heart and soul. Your divine essence.
Once this mask has been peeled away allowing yourself for the first time you see the gloriousness that is you! Never again will you place another mask upon your divine face, dim your divine expression, hide your limitless light under illusions, deny your power, but most importantly turn your back towards God and the love that you are.
Never again will you be lost to who you really are because all along you were the face of pure love.
