Q. Why do so many people resist new ideas and settle for the life they have, no matter how miserable it may be?
A. They resist leaving their prison, their self-made fortress of insecurity. They resist because they subconsciously fear the new world outside may be even worse. For these people, there is a frightening gap between the old and the new. Like the ancients who thought the world was flat, their fearful, conditioned minds project anxious imaginings of what the new world is like. It takes courage to sail a course towards the edge of the known world. Sadly, for most people, a change in attitudes is, in their minds, just not worth the risk. For these it is safer to stay with the herd and ridicule the few who dare to seek their freedom in the new world.

Q. Why do people wear masks?
A. It’s their way of hiding their pain underneath. The pain may be a fear of rejection, a fear of not being accepted by others, or a fear of feeling inadequately equipped to cope with life. It’s an unconscious act of self-deception acted out by the ego. It sets out to deceive others, but eventually it has us deceiving ourselves. Rather than preventing someone else from seeing your pain, you are actually hiding your own pain from yourself. Each mask serves a different purpose. For instance an angry mask says, “Don’t mess with me,” and is very effective in keeping people at arm’s length, but also keeps you from the very thing you long for; intimacy. Little children don’t feel a need to wear masks. They have yet to be conditioned by the collective ego of an insecure society. The number of masks you wear reflects the amount of conditioning and addictive programming to which your ego has subjected you over the years.

Q: Does the above material apply to BKMP?
A: Indeed it does :) But one must master his own heart first before he understands other things :)
