Today,
Our lesson is Share Yourself.
Let yourself be seen.
We hide behind a lot of masks.
We put on a lot of armor.
We have lots of reasons why we don't let people see our true selves.
Mostly,
We think we're imperfect or not worthy.
And yet when we do let someone see us,
When we truly share our hearts,
We see that we're all the same.
The more transparent you can be with others,
The happier you will be,
The universe.
This is an especially important teaching because so much of our lives now,
In terms of what we see on social media or just regular media,
Really shows people showing an aspect of their mask.
So we see celebrities and they are showing us their mask.
They are showing us the projected image,
The image that they want us to see.
And I don't think it's that they're bad people trying to show us this fake side of themselves.
I really think for a lot of people on social media,
It's aspirational.
This is who they wish they could be.
This is who they wish they could show up.
And so that's sort of a valiant effort of projecting your aspiration in front of the world.
But of course,
Even the celebrity that's the most lovely on the surface is going to have the regular,
Normal human stuff that they are working through.
They're going to have the regular,
Normal human stuff they're working through because this is what it means to be human.
This is what it means to be a divine soul in human body,
Living an earth life,
Working on our earth stuff as a way to become transcendent and as a way to become fully connected with the divine.
So of course,
Nobody's there yet.
At least I haven't met anyone that is there yet.
Maybe there are a handful of people on this planet who have achieved this level of enlightenment and understanding,
But I don't think I've met them yet.
Maybe I need to go hang out in different places,
But most people are really well intended,
Really just working on their process.
And so one of the things about this is this idea of being transparent,
This idea of instead of trying to get everyone to like this projected image of you,
What if you kind of let everybody see the nitty gritty and just showed them your true self?
And maybe in terms of the social media idea,
Maybe the trolls would attack or maybe you'd get terrible feedback or maybe people would respect you and say,
Yeah,
That's what I'm going through too or yeah,
That's also been my experience.
And of course,
The people that respond in a positive and encouraging way,
Those are the people that you really want to relate to,
Other people who see,
Yes,
We're one,
We're going through this all together.
So this idea of sharing yourself when you're sharing yourself,
You know,
If you're active on social media,
Sharing yourself in an authentic way,
Sharing yourself as who you really are if you want or nobody's required to be on social media,
No one's required to share their lives.
As a lot of you guys know,
I'm ridiculously private about my personal self on social media.
My kids say,
You're just running ads.
Well,
You know,
They're not ads,
But I don't choose to have my private life blasted about.
Just the kind of person I am.
That's fine.
People feel really comfortable with that,
But just be who you are.
Be what do what you want to do,
But don't hide away.
You know,
You don't have to participate in social media at all,
But do share yourself with your friends,
Your family,
Your relationships,
Share your true self,
Be authentic with people,
Be real and just see how that starts to work for you.
It's a great relief,
You know,
Just like when you come home from your day out and about and you put on your cozy clothes and you can relax at home.
It's a great relief to be able to relax with other people as exactly who you are and understand that you will be exactly accepted by people who understand that we are all one.
