Living without the security blanket
Some of the children I work with carry items that they use to comfort themseves, sometimes these are well worn pieces of cloth and are known as security blankets.
I think our personality is like a security blanket thrown over an ugly deformed face. Hiding what we don't want anyone else to see.
We also use our personality to cover up the parts of ourselves which we dislke, and unable to see them, try to convince ourselves that they are not there.
Because of the perceived ugliness, we always expect attacks from within and without and we use our personality to protect ourselves. It is our security and we think that we cannot live without it.
But if we dig deep enough inside we will find the purest stream of light, which when uncovered and allowed to shine into the dark places, can light them up and dissolve the layers of old pain transforming the ugliness inside.
When this happpens the personality blanket is no longer needed.
Only when we are free, we realise how restricting always carrying the blanket about had been.
And we discover our true face is one of luminous beauty.
