Release the grip of personality

If we are in a real me, why is it not plain and obvious course? Why is not our spiritual dimension not installed immediately? Why do we need an effort to find out? Because it is the price that it can grow and gain strength, like a muscle that causes it by exercise and develops confronting antagonistic force, resistance.
In fact, our Essence was clearly present at birth. But then it was covered by the personality that we have built in our lifetime. Personality is the resistance that opposes the muscle of the mind. It consists of our behaviors, habits, customs, culture, lifestyle, ideal rules of good behavior, etc.. We have developed gradually, unconsciously, in response to situations and events more or less painful than we have experienced and the various influences that we have received. This is a garment that we have built, which was necessary for us to be accepted and loved in this world. This is the character that we seem to have adopted the image of what was expected of us. It is a disguise, a mask (the word personality comes from Persona Etruscan word for mask theater). Unfortunately, in most cases, our personality ignores or neglects pushes our Essence.
We are so accustomed to ignoring our essence, to think and act according to our personality, we have forgotten that it is only a temporary disguise, a stage prop, a clothing company, and we feel that it is really ourselves. We are very attached to our personality because we believe that it is through it that we can be accepted and recognized. We are afraid to be rejected if we leave and we are working hard to comply with it and feel worthy of being loved. When we do not receive the rewards of our efforts, we feel disrespected, hurt. These negative emotional reactions are a sign of our commitment to the personality (This topic is covered in detail in the article The inner child and the language of emotions). To enable our Essence to take its place and deploy, it is necessary to loosen the grip of our personality that drives us to control our emotions and behavior and block our spontaneity. Release the personality is to allow us to be more spontaneous in our behavior, how the child. The child lives in his outbursts of energy and confidence now - at least as long as it does not forge a personality repressing these trends.
