What suit will you be wearing today?

Posted on by philipdodson

What ‘suit’ will you wear today? The same one or maybe different ones throughout the day to match the changes of roles our mind get us to act out? We play many different ones without even realising it. Of course, each one has its suffering within to accompany the outward act.

Underneath all the different costumes we wear is the real you and me, and while we are all unique, we share one thing that unites us all, we are the one life of human souls that comes from the ball of energy that is all life and matter in the universe. We are all the one life.

Stop wearing different suits to pander to the needs of our egos and be you, the beautiful human soul and free to see all other humans as equal and to connect without the prejudices of our mind and its lenses. We become free when we take off the costumes and we end the suffering within.

Underneath the masquerade of our many ‘suits’ lies the real you and me…where we all have the same suit, a human soul.

We are all living a ‘walter mitty’

We all live a version of a ‘Walter Mitty’ story in our heads, we create these fantasy versions of ourselves, that we act out in our heads, and in many way, in our actions and behaviours in the exterior world.

The challenge is though, that this ‘better’ or more exciting life/story that we create never really materialises and this leads to disappointment. We are dissatisfied, so we create a ‘better’ life, that never happens and then there is only further suffering, always seeking better rather than allowing the amazing human soul that we all are shine bright.

We expect that our ‘Walter Mitty’ life will become real, but it never does, and that leads to a feeling of lack and discontent. It becomes a spiral with no escape from these created personas.

If only we realised that if we let go of all the stories, the fantasies, the roles, the ‘Walter Mitty’ and actually let our true essence shine that we all have the most amazing life and journey to have.

When we are free from the burden of the stories, then we can be at peace within and then we can truly enjoy life now as our true self.
