Exercise 5: Identifying Masks

<- to Work Program

Lecture #84 indicates how the Divine Attributes of Love, Power and Serenity can be distorted, giving rise to personality masks used as pseudo-solutions to our difficulties to interact with people in our daily lives. Three basic types of masks were described, each corresponding to the distortion of one Divine Attribute:

♦ Love Mask

♦ Power Mask

♦ Serenity Mask

We usually adopt one of these masks as our predominant pseudo-solution in attempting to satisfy our emotional needs. Sometimes we use more than one type of mask, depending on the circumstances. We may predominantly use one type of mask in one environment (for example, family relations) and a different one in another (for example, at work).

What masks do you predominantly use in the main areas (work; family; social; etc.) of your life?
