[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 616398, member: 13542"] Yeah, to look in the mirror and see ourselves truthfully takes some courage............and to also have compassion for the children within us that designed those roles to begin with...........we're just human, doing the best we can do. I see those false facades in others and although I have compassion for the reasons we choose them, I have found now that I don't want to be around others whose masks for the world hide their true selves. As I have gotten healthier, it is easier for me to identify others roles. When it is out of their awareness, it becomes a real problem for me since negative stuff always leaks out of the masks..........the undeniable shame sneaks in and through judgement, criticism, holier then thou superiority and comparisons, harm is then done to ME. Seeing my own mask makes it easier to see others masks. As with your sister. Religious or spiritual superiority is a common theme among the 'masked characters'.........if you look closely, you can even see that superiority on their face, sort of looking down from that lofty place above you. Well, I must have had that same look on my face when I was busy rescuing others.............sigh............I'm so glad to live in the land of truth, without the masks, we can just BE. Cedar, you're right, it would definitely suck to go through this alone. Observing your process validates my own and solidifies my own commitment to my path and seeing the truth. I admire your courage and tenacity and then I am able to see my own as well. It takes guts to go through this and take apart the persona we created to reveal the truth of who we are, warts and all. One has to gain some real ego strength in order to endeavor down that path..........but the good news is, then we can integrate the light and the dark of us...........and be whole. To own our dark side is the way to consciousness, health, wholeness and truth. What a ride, huh Cedar?? [/QUOTE]
