The Pretenders

There is a moment in space time when a soul finally realizes that he or she has been a pretender. Who is this pretender? It is someone who outwardly behaves as if he or she is a soul who loves unconditionally, with compassion, deep sincerity and lives life with integrity and beauty. But, the truth is that the pretender only behaves as such outwardly. Within the pretender is a stingy and incomplete energy who desires only to impress and not to BE. This again sounds harsh but, it a fact, a reality all too common on planet earth. There have been pretenders from the beginning and particularly during times of change and cycles of increased spiritual energy. They step forward as if they are here to save the world with their wisdom and love. This is falsity at its worst.

The pretenders may not even recognize that they are falsely representing truth because they do not yet understand what truth really is. To understand truth one needs to have totally surrendered the ego to the Divine. The purpose of human life is for the Divine to live as the human and not the hidden subconscious. When the Divine is in charge, choices are made by the higher Self, the spirit, of the individual rather than the human persona. At this time on planet earth, the true disciples, the authentic ones are rare indeed. Many are writing and preaching the sublime beauty before they have captured it in their own lives and relationships. I guess it is better to pretend than not be anything at all.

Not to be anything at all is to waste your life mimicking others and not being the genuine article. Remember, surrender to the higher power, the eternal life force, is the genuine personality and yet it is not a personality. It simply Is. It is a fount of beauty, inner wealth, joy, compassion, true understanding, integrity and a love that cannot be described. Until that moment when an individual soul blends fully with the authenticity of who it really is...he or she is a pretender. You see, a pretender only acts, speaks, thinks in fits and starts. A true one is employed by God and is consistent in his or her behavior. This is Being. A personality can involve itself in good works but if the heart is selfish or thoughts and actions impure, it is still a pretender. You may judge this to be too severe but your higher Self knows differently.

Undermining the Personality

I have the gift of seeing, hearing and feeling the personality of another soul after it has crossed over into the subtle worlds of Light. I always find it amazing how similar the personality is after death to the temperament it expressed while in the body. From my understanding, the personality from the life the soul recently dropped remains with it until it is ready to move on to higher vibrations or descend again into physical form. Once the pull to the old life wanes, the soul begins to express more of its true personality, which is a culmination of the strengths of all its past personalities.

There is also a very different authority at the same time. It is a Divine Personality that the evolving soul gradually through life experiences recognizes and accepts as its own. Before the union occurs, the human personality will rebel because it generally is proud of its individuality and doesn't yet recognize its true higher Nature, the Divine Personality. The human personality is needed to develop a strong mind and body, strong enough so it can eventually reach a point in conscious awareness where it is prepared to know the higher Self. Once we recognize the authority of the higher Self, the undermining of the temporary human personality begins.

People often assume that it is the human personality who desires to spiritually evolve. It is not. It is the hidden mystery, the real Divine Personality within who makes the decision to come out of hiding. It is actually this higher Self that is leading us through all the nonsense and illusions of the human personality. This is the ancient method used to awaken the soul to the unreality so it will turn to the one and only Reality.
