An oppression has grown stronger with the passage of each generation in human existence.
It has claimed not just the health, well-being, sense of belonging, consciousness, purpose and destiny of its victims, yet also their very lives.
A tyrant so clever and efficient it need not exert any of its own effort or energy to fulfill upon its devious plan.
It simply relies on the apathy, denial, unconsciousness, self-righteousness and cognitive dissonance of its subject.
What is spawned from this malevolent blend of self-oblivion is what every human being possesses, the false personality.
The false personality is a vortex that consumes anything that does not enable or supplement its control and manipulation over a human being.
The most dangerous element of the false personality is that it remains virtually unknown and impervious to its unconscious and distracted host.
It is analogous to cancer clusters growing in the human body, undetected until the tumors have established residency in the organs or tissues of the unsuspected.
And when it has been discovered, the first obstacle to overcome is the greatest, the denial of its very existence.
The human race exists almost solely from false personality.
Its mission is to keep us preoccupied from our true selves with our own indifference, confusion, drama, and feelings of failure.
As our human conditions amass, we eventually begin to sacrifice our personal power both unconsciously and unconditionally.
We are become hopeless, anxious and disempowered, fatalities of our own circumstances, environments and lives.
The false personality survives mostly on reaction.
It is astonishing to discover how much of our society is reactive in nature.
It would seem that there are very few genuine actions expressed in our common reality.
If "cause" is the requirement of our freedom, "effect" in our society is in great supply.
The human race is constantly responding to stimuli being broadcasted from an authoritarian structure based on belief, intelligence, entertainment and a hierarchical class rule.
Yet, it is certainly not the external impulses that influence us the most.
It is our false personality that renders us prisoners to our selves.
Our false personality is sustained by our desire, our self-gratification, our uncertainty, our upsets, competitiveness, envy and ill will.
It thrives on our unwillingness to transform and our inclinations toward control and manipulation.
We tend to put more stock into the disempowerment of others, and ourselves, believing this is our "real" power rather than accepting the truth of ourselves.
We are our own inspiration.
True Personality
The first step in reclaiming our personal power and shifting toward our true personality is in the realization that we ALL have a false one.
In order for us to transcend its intricate matrix, we need to become our own observer.
Only then may we behold the great degree of influence and impact our false personality imposes upon us.
We must step outside of our beliefs, perceptions, expectations and entitlements to awaken and sustain our connection with our true personality.
Our true personality is who we were before we were taught, conditioned and assimilated into the common reality of contemporary society.
It is our inherent virtue we tend to hide, inhibit or diminish.
It is the part of our selves that most of us have surrendered to our adulthood.
The qualities of ourselves we free when we are at our most genuine and vulnerable.
It is the intuitive wisdom of ourselves we experience when we need to remember who we were before our conversion into society.
Our true personality is our innocence, kindness, acceptance, potential, inspiration and universal need to relate and belong.
The false personality is dense in energetic quality, immutable and fixed.
The true personality transcends the very nature and existence of reality. Its mere presence transforms the realism and dynamic of the environment in which it inhabits.
Its expression is engaging, intimidating, exhilarating and revolutionary.
Our true personality thrives upon the potential to explore, discover and express higher levels of consciousness and infinite energy.
It is the emblem of eternal creativity and possibility.
When we are living from our true personality, our false personality ceases to exist.
A gateway to higher realms of being is opened.
Our true personality is the key to the greatest expression of our being in this reality, our authenticity.
Authenticity
It may be challenging to draw distinctions between our "true personality" and our "authenticity."
After all, they seem to be the same thing, yet they are not.
- Our true personality is a facet of our existence as a human being.
- Our authenticity is how we express and share our true personality with society.
Authenticity is not just a choice; it is an expression, a way of being.
It begins and ends with fulfilling upon what we say we are going to do and who we are being while we are in action.
It is our integrity, our commitment and all for which we stand in our lives.
That which inspires us sources our energy, our focus, our intention and leads to the fulfillment of our destiny.
Our authenticity is not just a measurement of our accomplishments or even our being-ness.
It is the expression of our willingness and dedication to transform not just our own lives, yet the lives of others.
It isn't about succeeding and surviving; it is about thriving and empowering others to flourish as well.
It is the philosophy that when one person creates powerful insights for themselves, the community to whom they belong stands to benefit.
How can we discover and experience this quality of realization if it is not a shared endeavor?
Authenticity is lived for the advantage of the many at the cost of the false personality.
Being authentic is the greatest work to which we will ever commit.
We can never be authentic with others until we are first authentic with ourselves.
Being authentic with ourselves is choosing to accept our self for who we are and who we aren't.
If our consciousness relates us with our true personality, then authenticity unites us with our soul.
When we choose to free ourselves from our false personality by being authentic, we are making an investment in the vision of who we truly are.
We are living it as only we are meant, to the best of our possibility.
Authenticity is the cornerstone of transforming ourselves and ultimately the world.
When we commit to living an authentic life, we are devoting ourselves to making a difference.
We are the source of our creative expression, benevolence, relatedness and love.
This is the truest realization of life.
"LIVING IN A WAY, NOW, MOMENT TO MOMENT, THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE TO LIFE.
WE DISCOVER THAT AS HUMAN BEINGS WE CAN LIVE IN A POSSIBILITY INSTEAD OF IN WHAT WE HAVE INHERITED, THAT INSTEAD OF JUST BEING A HUMAN BEING BECAUSE WE WERE BORN THAT WAY,
WE CAN DECLARE THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING FOR HUMAN BEINGS.
THIS IS THE WORK OF TRANSFORMATION: BRINGING FORTH
A BREAKTHROUGH IN THE POSSIBILITY OF BEING HUMAN.
WHAT WE CREATE TOGETHER IS A RELATIONSHIP IN WHICH OUR WORK CAN
SHOW UP AS MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN PEOPLE'S LIVES.
I WELCOME THE UNPRECEDENTED OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO WORK
GLOBALLY ON THAT WHICH CONCERNS US ALL AS HUMAN BEINGS."
