Understand Your Masks and Filters
Understand Your Masks and Filters
You are pure Soul in a body on Earth. @gurusinghdaily (Click to Tweet!)
You know the world you know, but you know it through the masks and filters of how you know what you know — people, places and things you know — emotions you feel — the history the anticipation that you remember and project.
Explained at a yogic and quantum level, the world you know is not a world you know. It’s a world you think your know and feel familiar with, but even the known factors — the ones you’re certain of — are unknown. It’s all a psycho-emotional puzzle made up of masks and filters that manage; control; guide, and carry you through your physical experience…enjoying what you experience with joy , and fearing what you anticipate with fear.
In order to change your experience, you must access the fundamentals of your human being… get down under the “hood”…alter the masks and the filters that alter your experience.
When you gain access to this ‘self-sensory’ programming, you’re able to alter the nature of the ‘Self’ itself. This is one of the many results of a daily meditation practice. With practice, you ultimately realize that everything about your life can be formed and transformed perfectly from what you already have. Everything works — even the challenging lessons that you go through are, in fact, perfect raw material to build into dreams and purpose. Your cosmology (journey of the Soul) and your genealogy (journey of your ancestry) are all contributing perfectly to this perfection. Everything you experience has been set in place… established with all your masks and filters… created with the known and unknown…and done precisely…there are no mistakes.
Our prayer is that you get “under the hood” of your life; that you make absolutely certain to understand each of your masks and filters; that you begin to cooperate with your mastery so that you can graduate from this mystery.
There’s a higher level of living in this world you live in…it’s a world without masks; a world without filters, and it un-puzzles the puzzle. It ascends to the level of a human being, being humane… it’s the freedom of being a perfect Soul in human form…on Earth to transform.

Letting Go of Denial
Most of us in recovery have engaged in denial from time to time. Some of us relied on this tool.
We may have denied events or feelings from our past. We may have denied other people’s problems; we may have denied our own problems, feelings, thoughts, wants, or needs.
We denied the truth.
Denial means we didn’t let ourselves face reality, usually because facing that particular reality would hurt. It would be a loss of something: trust, love, family, perhaps a marriage, a friendship, or a dream. And it hurts to lose something, or someone.
Denial is a protective device, a shock absorber for the soul. It prevents us from acknowledging reality until we feel prepared to cope with that particular reality. People can shout and scream the truth at us, but we will not see or hear it until we are ready.
We are sturdy yet fragile beings. Sometimes, we need time to get prepared, time to ready ourselves to cope. We do not let go of our need to deny by beating ourselves into acceptance; we let go of our need to deny by allowing ourselves to become safe and strong enough to cope with the truth.
We will do this, when the time is right.
You Are Lovable
For years, I could not start a day without reading a thought from Melody Beattie. I have been recently rediscovering her work. Here’s a sample…
We go back . . . and back . . . and back . . . through the layers of fear, shame, rage, hurt, and negative incantations until we discover the exuberant, unencumbered, delightful, and lovable child that was, and still is, in us.
— BEYOND CODEPENDENCYYou are lovable. Yes, you.
Just because people haven’t been there for you, just because certain people haven’t been able to show love for you in ways that worked, just because relationships have failed or gone sour does not mean that you’re unlovable.
You’ve had lessons to learn. Sometimes, those lessons have hurt.
Let go of the pain. Open your heart to love.
You are lovable.
You are loved.
Today I will tell myself I’m lovable. I will do this until I believe it.

The Wings of Awakening – Self-Honesty and Love
We evolve our consciousness by bringing a clear and kind attention to the tangles of suffering. This talk explores how the “second arrow” of self-judgment imprisons us in emotional reactivity, and the pathways of awakening awareness that reconnect us with our full human potential. (This talk was given at the 2016 IMCW fall retreat.)

All We Really Need is Self-Discipline
Many of us procrastinate to the point that it takes a lot of energy to keep it going. Energy that could be used more productively. Many of us fail to take responsibility for things we have done, finding it easy to avoid issues by blaming others or circumstances “beyond our control”. Many of us do not take the time to analyse an issue, preferring to avoid the pain that is associated with it. Many of us are looking for instant gratification, hoping that things will change or something will come along and take the pain away. It happens to everybody at some stage in their lives purely because it makes us feel “good” in the moment. It happens in all aspects of our lives….relationships…where we avoid painful decisions hoping things might improve….work….where we procrastinate that difficult task….avoid talking with our boss….or raising an issue with a colleague or client. We also do it as individuals. Not taking responsibility for what we can influence and not making definite choices about ourselves. We would rather moan and complain and put our destiny in the hands of others. When we avoid our own responsibility, we are really saying to others…”you need to tell me what to do…to look after me” Erich Fromm stated quite rightly in his book on Nazism that we spend our lives “escaping from freedom”. The freedom that personal responsibility brings.

Walking Cross-Town. With a Tin Cup.
Another beauty from my friend David Kanigan…
The moment, seconds really, should have degraded into an inkblot, edges fraying, burrowing to lose itself among the billions of other moments, stored for retrieval at a later date when a similar moment showed up. Aha, I remember that.
But No.
This one Rises, floats on Top, bobbing up and down, making sure it isn’t lost. Remember this, it seems to say. Don’t forget this, it needs to say.
I’m walking Cross-Town on 47th. It’s dark. It’s early, 6:23 am. And, it’s Cold – sub 35° F, with winds gusting. Feels like 26° F. Biting.
I’m wearing a trench coat, knee length, its heavy lining leaning in on my shoulders. It’s zipped to the throat.
The fur lined leather gloves keep the hands and fingers toasty. I grip my case with one, and swing the other, the motion pulling me forward, the pace quick, the blood and bones warming from the movement.
And there…

Here’s my suggestion for what to do when you find yourself in the company of people whose views differ from yours. Grant them the benefit of the doubt as to their intentions unless their views are morally indefensible to you. (My list of morally indefensible includes discrimination against people based on their race, religion, ethnicity, country of birth, gender, sexual orientation, disability.) Prejudice against any of these people is a deal-breaker for me because it’s an attack on our fundamental human right to be who we are and to live as we please so long as we’re not harming others.
I suggest that if a friend or relative crosses your deal-breaker line, speak up—but not in anger. Without attacking the other person—and with as much care as you can muster—state your views as skillfully as you can. Then, if the other person wants to start an argument with you, refuse to contend with him or her. I love these words from the Thai Buddhist monk Ajahn Chah: “If there is no one to receive it, the letter is sent back.”

Degrees of Seeing
If you think you’re seeing things as they really are, think again. Unless you’ve had the deep experience of letting go, there is only a myriad of illusions.
