DISSEMBLING
Who do you think you are?
Who do you believe you are?
What do you think you are?
What do you believe you are?
By now, you have built many structures around these questions, in both thought and belief. Who You Are is more concerned with ego-mind. Your human beliefs are centered in the ego-mind: its likes and dislikes; your cosmology; your hierarchy; your priorities. Who You Are is far more temporal and transitive than the condition and state of What You Are.
What You Are encompasses a greater field of consideration. That infrastructure of You is that which is part of everything, and beyond your ideas of human hierarchies and social stratum. In order for your What to dwell inside your Who, sometimes there needs to be a little Dissembling, a little piecing together of the truth, or failing to show what’s whole.
What do you say to people when they ask: “How are you today?” Do you reply, “Fine,” “Great,” or something similar, just because you believe it’s expected and polite? What if the clerk or bank teller said instead, “Thanks for your patronage. Have a nice day,” releasing you from false responses, while genuinely thanking you?
When you hear of a death, do you say to the person, automatically, “I’m sorry for your loss.” Are you sorry? Do you really know the person? Do you know the person who has made the transition from earthly life? Would it be more genuine to say: “That must be difficult for you. I hope you see this time of transition through with grace.”?
In how many ways, day by day, do you Dissemble? We won’t call this lying, because the intent with this type of Dissembling is not to deceive . . . is it?
Why is the need for Dissembling felt in certain societies and certain strata of certain hierarchies? Is it an isolating tool, a tool for self-protection, elevation, exclusion, manipulation, or something else? It’s all of these things and more. Think first of the many automatic responses you make and give in the daily life. Regardless of how you habituate to saying them, how could responding to others in more genuine ways make you feel more genuine?
It is the Who in Who You Are playing these games. The What in What You Are resists these games. What You Are prefers to be genuine. That is not to say that Who You Are lacks compassion or seeks to be injurious to the feelings of others, but that What You Are seeks to communicate and connect to the What of others in real and meaningful ways.
We spoke recently of Openness. Opening more to What You Are will give You more insight into communicating more meaningfully, with clarity, compassion, and greater connection. One of your first tasks in using the state of Openness is to connect to the source of What You Are, and allow yourself to be guided by High Self.
Consider this: if my every thought and action today lived forever, how then would I form and apply my energy? Would I build a house of lies in which to live? Would I Dissemble to hide my true nature?
Live in the Now, but think, feel and act in the Forever. Compassion and Wisdom grow under these tenets.
Blessed Be This Day
