Self-Connection

TAKE OFF THE MASK!

There is nothing more liberating
than being yourself.

Not your ‘self’, but yourself.

Not the ‘self’ you invented in order to win love.
Not the mask you wear in order to please people,
make them like and approve of you,
win fame and money and build your status.
Not the façade, the games and roles you play
in order to prove how loveable you are, how kind,
how compassionate, how sexy, how wise, how funny,
how nice, how intelligent, how ‘spiritual’,
how free from worldly concern.

But your True Self.
The One that was there before you invented 'self',
before you put on that false and suffocating mask.
The One that isn’t afraid of being exposed,
of being seen, of being 'found out',
because there’s nothing to hide and nothing to lose.

The One who speaks truth and only truth.
The One you will return to upon death.
The One that no mask can create, destroy,
or truly hide.

Let yourself be seen, today.
Only illusions can be lost.

And all masks will burn.

- Jeff Foster

I have been studying the life and work of master therapist Virginia Satir since 2007. I did my first training with Satir Institute of the Pacific in 2014 and it changed my life. If you want to learn about Virginia Satir, Family Systems Therapy, Self-Connection, Toxic emotions, and Sculpting come join this workshop being hosted by the Satir Institute.

Self-connection is the process of being in touch with your core Self, without identifying or confusing Self with the experience or the pattern of coping

By educating yourself and your children about how technology works to manipulate attention and emotions, we afford ourselves the ability to mitigate the negative effects of technology.

Nothing makes you happy.
No thing makes you happy
No one makes you happy

You can create happiness for yourself by what you take in from the outside or by the way you nurture something positive within your Self.

You can make you happy, but that's not what is most important.

Happiness is a temporary state that gives us information about a particular role, place and goal. All emotions are information and we need to listen and take what is useful from each.

The attempt to acquire a permanent state of happiness is not the basis for a good life. It is in fact the cause of suffering and conflict.

I recorded some reflections on the material pursuit of happiness and the objectification of the human being.

The traps of happiness is trying to buy it. Thinking of happiness as a particular psychological state. When we become attached to a particular experience then we can lose sight of our Self. When we become overly attached to material 'things' we forget our own living humanity and perhaps the humanity

Somehow everything you need to learn you can learn from squirrels.

I was sitting with my eyes closed meditating when I heard the sound. I ignored it. “God, what if it’s an animal getting in the attic?” No, just forget it  ignore it. Go back to peaceful, silent meditation (Denial). More scratching and pattering under the floorboards. Argh! Finally,
