Life Behind The Mask

This perception creates a sense of separation and disconnection between us.

  1. ‘We are afraid to speak our truth because we know it might be upsetting to someone else. We pretend to be confident when deep inside we feel insecure and unsure. We speak and act differently around certain people to gain their approval and acceptance.’ All of these have played their part in my life and it is very inspiring to read this article and realise that their grip is lessening; that I am becoming more familiar with being myself whoever I am with and wherever I am. This is a remarkable process that makes life so much simpler, freer and more enjoyable.

  2. After reading this blog, I realised the mask I have been wearing for years, and probably centuries stopping me from being who I truly was. I so connect to the falsities of these masks and it feels awful in that I pretended all along. When underneath I didn’t need to. These masks have been the ones that have got me into trouble, so to speak, because I wasn’t being me.

    When I too am met with no judgment or expectations, I’m such a different person, even with the way I converse alters. I’m not pretzeling myself to please or suit others. I have in-depth conversations that my body have been wanting to express and the attention to detail is there.

    My masks are still there too, but slowly coming off. It is interesting to observe how others are when this occurs and as I become consistent and committed, it doesn’t matter what others think or react. My main purpose is for others to see me for who I truly am and let the playground around me play.

  3. Rachel, what a revelation this blog has for many when they read the truth behind what has been presented. We pretzel our bodies to fit in, but the first physical thing someone meets is the face. And if we paid attention to the detail of their faces, they all hold a story and at the end of the day it’s always the same, not being them.

    What a beautiful offering Serge Benhayon offers, he truly meets us and if there were more people who offered exactly the same, wouldn’t the world be in a different place? I feel so…

  4. ‘And that life need not be lived behind the mask’. Great line, and this is something that I am slowly realising that there is another way to live to be true to myself no matter what. Thanks Rachel for your words of wisdom and the joy that comes when leaving one’s masks behind.

  5. Very inspiring to read this and very relatable. I remember myself sitting in a consult with Serge Benhayon for the first time, it was like all the hidden aspects and dimensions of me, many of which I was unaware of, came pouring out of me. It was an extraordinary experience being met like that by Serge and meeting and feeling myself at that level. There is lots to ponder on Rachel from your blog, as essentially what you are saying is that we are immense and awesome beneath the masks, so it’s a letting go process to let ourselves out.

    1. When we wear the mask, it can only hold for so long. When we have a good cry, do you notice how the mask then looks? Very different. We carry the stresses and the pains of our lives on our faces and we even cover that up with botox, foundations, heavy make up and the extremes of face lifts. Why? When the underneath remains the same, its pointless when all we need to do is to meet ourselves. It has to start somewhere by making the decision.

    2. I remember being met by Serge Benhayon too and unable to describe what it’s like when we are truly met, other then a settlement in the body and a feeling that I’m truly home.

  6. And then there are the extreme masks that people wear literally on the internet so that they hide behind a false name and cannot be identified, and the anonymous ones who then use this as a ‘protection’ and can bully and participate in cyber abuse whilst not being ‘seen’. This mask wearing business serves no one in the long run.
