How do you know your ‘personality’ is actually you?
From intolerable to adorable, frantically stressed to peacefully blessed, and from a hot mess to cool and at your best, there are many facets to what you might consider to be your personality, the collection of traits you assume to be you.
Identifying with all of it, you have an overall presence you present to the world, for better or worse, depending on what day it is, what “triggers” you encounter and what situations you find yourself in.
Will you react or fly off the handle today? Might you become impatient, intolerant and downright short of temper? Will you be insecure or incapable, or maybe think a few thoughts you don’t want?
Or will you attack your day, confront the problems before you, be at your finest and triumph finally at the top of your game?
In all likelihood, any given day can present a varied “version” of you. And, all would be fine if it were just you in the world. No matter your mood, your erratic behavior, your demeanor or your drive, without others around, what would it matter?
When you realize, however, that you have to communicate with others to cooperatively endeavor, you will instantly discover obvious relevance for your personality: INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS!
Life could, in fact, be considered a journey through time, marked by communication and cooperative endeavors with others who can influence you in many ways.
But with all the personal influences you may experience, can some of them rub off on you? Could they stack up, accumulate and become your own, gradually obscuring the real you? Is it possible to eventually lose yourself and become a collage of “others’ personalities”?
If you consider the seemingly permanent impressions some experiences in life can have on you, it’s clear others’ personalities can play a role.
But, finding their source, they can be peeled back, revealing more and more layers of the inherent, naturally creative and happy qualities of you. And you can accomplish this easily if you know the following specifics of how it can be done.
Does it ever feel like someone else is motivating your actions?
Your personality. Your identity.
Your thoughts, actions and reactions.
Are they all you?
You may think so, but, when you consider the collective, innumerable personalities you come into contact with in one lifetime, you recognize many can have an undue influence over your behavior. And, sometimes you may even get a feeling you’re not being yourself but, rather, a collection of “them”.
But if they’re not ALL you, which parts ARE you?
Surely many of us have acted a certain way and thought, “Goodness! That was just like my dad!” followed by the question “Where in the world did THAT come from?”
Clearly, certain types of experiences (especially negative or traumatic ones) can leave indelible “marks” on you, making it rather obvious that they included other people, and that even their personalities can become “part of you”, expressing themselves in “replay” as part of your personality, fooling even you!
What does it really mean when someone becomes ‘the voice inside your head’?
Could there be personalities you’ve encountered and taken on that lay beneath your ability to recall them? Is it possible you have collected and put into play a few personalities you didn’t consciously know about? They can and, certainly, for them to remain in play, such personalities would HAVE to at least remain hidden to have any force over you. And, the more hidden the influence, the more detrimental it is to get along in life.
Commonly, someone in your life can become “the voice inside your head”, guiding you through life’s trials, twists, turns and even triumphs. Often cherished and considered their “conscience”, these “voices” can become a stable influence on people for navigating existence. But these have been consciously chosen and could be said to be “controllable” influences.
Conversely, the hidden influences, the voices you “hear” aren’t the conscious advice you got from your mom, your aunt, your uncle or your favorite teacher.
These “voices” aren’t voices at all, but are what you consider to be your thoughts, driving or motivating you, considered to be part of your personality.
But are they your thoughts?
What if an impulsive thought you had wasn’t your thought at all but someone else’s remark you may have picked up, inadvertently being replayed for some unexplained, illogical reason?
Here is where the real danger can enter into the equation, another “voice” interfering with your mental computations, disguising itself as YOU!
Who IS the real you?
While we all have our own, distinct personalities, purposes and interests, there are some important traits common to all.
Perhaps the most overlooked is the blueprint for your mind. Your mind has a purpose to serve you and assist you to navigate safely through life. It is designed to inherently work WITH you in every way, not AGAINST you.
In university, though you may study the minds that work AGAINST you, the so-called “abnormalities” of personality, nowhere is “normality” defined, nor is the mind, its structure, mechanics or its intended use and purpose.
But, how could you learn anything about malfunction unless you first understood optimum function? Could you fix a broken object if you didn’t know how it was SUPPOSED TO WORK?
As a result, these malfunctions have remained a complete mystery, that is, until the middle 20th century when someone finally had the foresight to ask the simple question “What is the mind SUPPOSED TO DO?”. All of which allowed the problems of the mind to unfold, making the resolution of these “hidden personalities” possible.
Isolated and understood, there YOU turned out to be, beneath all the complexities and distortions, the layers of “masks” concealing a useful mind with which you were natively endowed, empowering you to do your best in every way and tackle any problem of life as you see fit!
Consequences of hidden influences on your decisions…
Your own power of choice is of vital importance to making good, informed decisions in any given circumstance. And, in the face of direct opposition, you can likely hold your own and be true to what you believe is the right decision or action. Opposition is easily resisted when it is known. But if you’re receiving unconscious “advice” on what to do, you may make decisions you wouldn’t have otherwise and believe them to be yours, even when they seem illogical.
Automatic reactions motivated by hidden influences play out, robotically, the same way each time, eliminating judgment from the situation. They “play” like your favorite song when you call it up to listen. Each time you play the song, it is unchanged, exactly as the artist recorded it. And it will play the same recording no matter where you play it or when, even if at an inappropriate time.
These “personalities” play like these songs. The response is always the same, excluding your judgment, estimation and computation. With the real you buried deep beneath all these masks, you can’t assess the situation and your response will play out automatically, even if it doesn’t fit the current situation.
Can you see the danger in that?
The REAL YOU doesn’t need the ‘ARTIFICIAL YOU’S’!
Imagine wearing a mask that is thin, lightweight, looks and feels completely natural and that is actually not one, but hundreds of layers deep.
But there you exist in spite of it, however unaware, imprisoned behind the bars of the masks you have always thought of as “you”, obscuring the best of you that you may likely have caught an occasional glimpse of “on a good day”.
These “artificial you’s” are not the guiding “voice inside your head” steering you in the right direction. They are blocking your native knowledge and ability to always choose the right direction.
Parasitic of your mind’s capabilities, you clearly don’t need these burdensome layers of artificiality, unless, of course, you’re planning a career in Hollywood or on stage! But, even then, you’d want to be the one, behind the scenes, KNOWINGLY controlling the show!
How can you stop living others’ lives and start living yours?
If hidden personalities are so occluded that you aren’t even consciously aware of them, how can you possibly remove them and reveal the real you?
Merely coping or living with it would mean giving in. You would be allowing the situation to perpetuate itself by just accepting it as who you are, something most people already do. Yet it is insufficient for any sustainable happiness in life. Indeed, you would need an optimum method to undo it.
It would require 5 simple things you would need to discover including:
- the definition of the ideal mind, its intended purpose, structure, function, etc.,
- differentiation of “you” from “not you”, (reality vs artificiality),
- application of the laws of cause and effect to observe the true source of these issues,
- how negative experiences can accumulate and change personality over a period of time,
- personal observation of and realization about them, as distinguished from another’s evaluation.
If you could understand the real, intended function of the mind, you would instantly spot malfunction. Should you recognize that, over time, negative experiences can accumulate, you would realize how a gradual build-up of such unwanted “personalities” is possible and could even free yourself from them. And, if you could somehow look for yourself, without anyone else’s evaluative influence, you could regain your inherent power to make decisions for yourself and free yourself from any observed artificialities.
And that would be the definition of the true happiness at the center of you.
But does this ideal methodology exist?
Thankfully, more than 70 years ago, someone asked the right question, “What is the purpose of the human mind?” and then proceeded to develop a strategy to unleash its true potential and free it from all that inhibits its function, reducing it by as much as ninety percent!
Since then, this has led to resolving the problems of the mind, easily and personally in a relatively short time, using a brief instruction manual and guide to understanding and unlocking the mind’s true potential, some 90% more of it than was previously accessible.
Why “live with” or “manage” the issues you have blocking your potential when you can find out how to unlock and use it?
