And the title of this mini podcast is Peeling Layers. We've all been teenagers, and if your memory is anything like mine, you want to forget some of the goofy things you did during that period in your life. The list is too extensive to side all the inane things, but suffice it to say, it's a long list. My guess is you've outgrown a number of those behaviors. For example, that probably means you wouldn't wear one of those crazy outfits today, even on Halloween. Every time you outgrow something, you peel away a layer of conditioning, and with every peel you reveal. What gets revealed is you there. You are hiding under layers of conditioning. Who you are is the light that's attempting to shine through all those layers. The light never goes out, it just gets dimmed by each layer we adopt. We had help covering over our light through social, cultural, and parental conditioning. It really wasn't our fault. We got what we got, but the sadder news is we believe that's who we are. We confuse who we are with the conditioning we've received and it keeps our light from shining bright. There comes a time in everyone's life where something loses its meaning. For you, something that was so important no longer is. That's a layer of conditioning. Being peeled away, you're coming closer to the light. Some peeling happens naturally and some are self induced. Either way it's beneficial. Genuine peeling is never preceded by a should or an ought to. It's more of an internal nudge to find your life. You can defend your conditioning until the day you die, but that's just arguing for your limitations. A better plan is to uncover your true brilliance. So to get real, start to peel all the best John.
