How many layers does your Personna have?

Kia Ora,

The last two weeks have had me thinking about mindset as I have written.

But it has been more than that.

Several years ago I went to a personal development seminar & a few things came out of it.

First is the latin word Personna means mask. As we grow we build layers around us & call it a personality so we become acceptable to society.

Those with the least layers are children & so they tend to blert out honest brutal truths. The next in line to them with least layers were said to be soldiers & police officers. That sentence hit a cord with me as part of the profession of arms(soldiering) or the oldest profession(the second oldest developed following armies around) with offshoots evolving to be our police & security services, one thing that puts us offside when we leave the military is our at times brutal honesty.

Now part of that building of the layers of that personna today in society is the focus on things that are really not important. There are even books based on the belief that we should not focus on the small stuff.

Where as a New Zealand Vietnam Veteran told me when I was first promoted, focus on the small things that will build self discipline then the big things will take care of themselves.

By having less layers you are more like an animal so more in touch with the natural world.

That might seem bit out there but think of how many police or security go on their hunch or feeling that something or someone is suspect. Happens all the time.

It also gets you in touch with what is dangerous. In a dangerous situation it is not uncommon for you to instinctively know prior or during what is the right action.

Personally I have woken only to a few earthquakes, but they have been the big ones & have woken prior. Experience with earthquakes meant the mind/body is able to assess what is dangerous & what is not.

Animals don't have those false layers we build as people around us & it is known that when looking back animals had been acting in a way that should of sounded a warning. In fact a story out today was of worms coming out of ground & they took it so seriously in China they evacuated a city prior to an earthquake.

So how many layers do you have in your personna that stops you picking up those warnings from the energy that surrounds us?
