August 2020 Editorial

 

Hello Everyone,

    People in my small community here in Florida are all talking about masks.  Who should wear them, when to wear them, where to wear them, even if wearing them is beneficial to you or someone else, or is actually, in fact, detrimental?
   
Well, I’m sure you’ll be relieved that I am not going to be one more person loudly proclaiming if it is right or wrong to wear a mask.  Of course, I have my own perspective, but I think you’ve already heard so much on this that my opinion is one more you don’t really want to hear. So, I’m not going to offer it.  What I will do, though, regarding the more practical aspects of mask wearing, is to ask you to do your own research before jumping to any conclusions the media or even your local government is telling you.  Whatever you decide will be right for you.  What DO YOU FEEL is right for you?
 

  Meanwhile, here are some of my thoughts about mask wearing in general. You see, while everyone else is considering all the practical aspects of wearing a mask to prevent the spread of the virus, I am, as usual, considering the significance of mask wearing itself and noting that at this point in humanity’s growth we are working on identifying our various masks and ‘unmasking’ both ourselves and others.  This is leading to both exciting revelations and deep disillusionments.
 

  On Path 28 of the Kabbala Pathworking class we will soon be exploring ‘masks’ in even more depth than I will here.  It’s not too late for you to join that class, by the way.  You can find out how to do that on my website. I only mention Path 28 to point out to you the amazing power of synchronicity, and that when something is especially important, the Universe or God if you will, serves it up to us every place we look just to make certain we are getting the message.  Your wearing or not wearing a mask to protect from the Corona virus, and my Pathworking group traveling a guided visualization Path where we wear masks, both occurring at the same time as Neptune, the planet of illusion and delusion is traveling through Pisces, the ultimate deceiver, at the very last breath of the Piscean Age, are all examples of the Universe talking to us and telling us that this issue is far more important to mankind than it appears at first glance.  It also makes me wonder if the issue of face-mask wearing in our world will come to a head and then end around October 31st – one of the times of year many of us put on masks just for fun when we celebrate Halloween.  
   

Throughout history wearing a mask has been associated with the hiding of identity, or the assumption of an identity.  For example, a party goer on Halloween might don a mask to appear to be some fictional character, or a robber might don a mask to hide his identity from the security cameras.  Likewise, a Shaman might paint a mask on his face before doing a healing, as he steps into his ‘role’ of healer, and a surgeon will put on a surgical mask as he steps into his surgical role in the operating room.  
 

  On a still deeper level, a bit of introspection will remind you of the times you’ve worn a ‘mask’ without actually donning one.  For example, when you first met your in-laws and wanted them to like you, or when you had to put up with a dressing down from a teacher or your boss in front of other people.  Those ‘false faces’ that hid the emotions you were feeling inside are also masks, aren’t they?
   

And what about those times you were deeply hurt by someone who’s ‘mask’ told you they were one person, and then you found out they were someone entirely different when the mask came off?  

Unfortunately, that is all too common an experience in the dating game these days.  I’ve known a few of my clients who woke up to a stranger the day after their wedding day, when their partner’s mask finally came off.
   

Why do people put those ‘masks’ on?  For the same reason we don physical masks.  To either hide something or to step into a roll we are playing in our lives.  When I worked as a Safety Engineer, for example, I learned to hide away my psychic self and wear the ‘mask’ of scientific authority.  It wasn’t until I left that position and became a full-time Psychic Coach that I finally felt free to be myself!
   

When we live in a world, as we are now, where so many people are wearing masks, we are forced to live in a world of confusion.  You can’t tell if someone is good, bad, or even real from the face they are wearing for you.  Most of us can’t tell just from looking at them or interacting with another person if they are to be believed or not.  Too often the person with the best, most complex mask and best ability to lie comes out on top, even if they are not really a good person at all.  When the masks are all in place it’s impossible to tell good from evil, what’s real from what’s fake.  We are left to count on our intuition, which with each failure we trust less and less.
 

  What I find interesting is that the physical mask wearing that we are experiencing now is making apparent the face-mask-wearing most of us have been doing and experiencing in our lives for years.  It’s small wonder so many people have no real understanding of their friends, lovers, children, and associates.  How can you have a ‘true and honest’ relationship with another when you are both only relating to the ‘illusion’ being projected? Honestly, you can’t have a relationship with a mask.  And the fact is, you can’t expect another person to remove their ‘mask’ until you first remove yours.  Most of us fear to do that.  We fear that when we are exposed and seen as we truly are, we will be rejected.  So, we remain safe behind our masks and have fanciful relationships at best and when occasionally someone’s mask slips, we wonder what’s wrong with them and their fear of rejection is realized and our lack of trust in our choices of friends is justified.  
 

  Are you seeing where I am going with all this?  I believe all the issues about mask wearing in our world right now are very, very important – but not so much regarding protection from the Corona virus.  I believe when we make the decision to remove our physical masks, we are also taking a big step forward in removing our imaginary ones too.  When those masks come off, my friends, I think we’ll be stepping forward into a real world where the remaining ‘mask-wearers’ will quickly and easily be identified and exposed.  We’ll be fearless in expressing the truth of who we are.  Many of us will be discovering ourselves for the first time!  Yes, there will be some illusions and dreams that are exposed as empty and there will be some sense of loss, but mostly there will be an exhilarated sense of freedom and growth, and most importantly perhaps, a renewed ability to trust what our intuition tells us about ourselves and others.

Love and Light,

Sandy Anastasi
