Frank M Wanderer – In our daily life we tend to cover our real face with a set of masks. Our personal identity is the collection of our various masks. We immediately put on one of those masks whenever we are not alone. Whenever there is another person in the room with us, one of our masks is automatically fixed on our face, matching the situation and the other person.
We ourselves have created these masks unconsciously, under the influence of our parents and teachers, in the course of our life. As a child we made efforts to meet all the innumerable expectations of society reaching us through our parents and teachers.
Eric Peters – It is no longer necessary to mandate “masks.” Millions wear them willingly. Some will probably never take them off.
The Angels – Many of you are about to celebrate a holiday called Halloween in which you take great delight in dressing up. You regard one another’s costumes with a sense of wonder, appreciation, and even humor. The beautiful and the ugly, the sweet and the scary, suddenly become innocent masks for the human beings who exist beneath.
Soren Dreier – Somewhere along the road of awakening, spirituality, becoming ourselves, we will get confronted with the mask we are wearing, because carrying it is psychological opportunism and the soul seems to say: “How long are you going to fake it?”
