“We compartmentalize, making sure to only show certain faces to certain people.
Keep him in this box, keep this one in that box. Only say those things to those people. Only present this way to that group. Don’t let these different selves meet.”
“Something isn’t right.
You aren’t acting yourself.
What happened to you?
Are we allowed to do that?”
I don’t know how you keep getting in my head and pulling articles out…
When you try to climb out of that hole, and the people down there with you grab your legs and try to drag you back in. Or people above try to shove you back down. And you feel like you’re suffocating because there isn’t Light or space enough for you…yeah.
So many profound statements in this article, Daniel! I will be taking some time to ponder before responding but I really would love to explore some of this stuff, from "actualization", to "resurrection", to "unity in diversity". Also plan to share this article with a couple of friends to hopefully stir up some meaningful dialogue.
Thank you for your authenticity, bathed in love! It is really helping me to pursue the same!
"When we allow our true selves to show in an environment where we’ve played a part for so long, then our very existence threatens the social imaginary. We no longer play as if we know the rules. What this does is threaten the reality of that group."
Again, as in another recent post, this is the coming out experience...which is a journey available to all. Once the hiding place is left behind, once the mask is dropped, there's truly no going back. One can try for a moment or a life, out of fear, but that sweet taste of freedom will always linger.

Good gracious, how I love Canada Daniel.
