[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 671011, member: 19522"] Hi Cedar, It is for Halloween..... (for I will be a witch today) In addressing our FOO, on the patterning and the roles that have been written for us, as well as imagery on each of us becoming unto our own. We are wearing the hat. Our "hats" have always been there, deep inside the closet of our subconscious. The roles have been written in the indelible ink of our memories, in the memories of our FOO, and those we have forged relationships with. These roles did not allow us to wear our hats. When we step out of those roles so long ago written to claim ourselves how puzzling we are to those around us who think they have pegged us. What a mystery we become to those around us who are accustomed to our responding a certain way. Who would have us be so meek, pliable and nice that we would forget about our own selves. What a mystery we have become to ourselves, as we begin to see ourselves through our own eyes, wide open and shed the glasses of yesterday the eyeglasses of those who would have us be what [I]they [/I]want us to be. This indelible ink is that we can't erase our past. That is unchangeable. Removing the glasses that others have prepared for us, trusting in our own vision, our own capability for sight, we peer truthfully into our past and learn from our reactions in the old role to develop into our own. Then something marvelous happens, we find insight and understanding and change and growth. We begin to see the once before unimaginable endless possibilites. We dig through the closet. We find our hats. It is magic this seeing of ourselves. In the knowing who we truly are, who we truly can be. And so we change. We remove the glasses completely. We [I][B]wear[/B][/I] our hats of empowerment. Those who have viewed us for so long Continue to see us, as they would have us see ourselves. When we appear with our "hats" they are completely utterly confounded. This wearing of the hat is a reminder to ourselves and those around us that in not only us but in everyone there is magic. Empowerment. We wear the hat. Our hats that were there all along but we were not permitted to wear. :witch: [/QUOTE]
