SECRETS OF SPIRITUALITY: PHANTOM, YOUR FALSE SELF

 Throughout our lives, we create a so-called phantom personality. It is a collection of thousands or even more opinions of other people about ourselves, as well as various events. But wait a minute... Are these opinions real and truthful? Most often, these are their own, unconscious mechanisms. And most often, these opinions are expressed not from the level of their real self, but from the level of their phantom personality.

This phantom is, in other words, system codes imposed on the delicate and very vulnerable human psyche. They are often limiting, tyrannical, or silly, but they keep society alive and civilization grows. Something for something. The purpose of these codes is to tame the return of the animalistic wildness still present in us, as well as to force people to simply work.

However, they have grown to unprecedented proportions, stifling the individuality of the individual and becoming a caricature of themselves. Today, in the era of network media, the requirements have increased so much that anyone who deviates from the Insta model is reprimanded.

Therefore, if someone tells you that you are strange, stupid, maladjusted, ugly or that you don't do what you should do - learn to let it go freely. The phantom personality ultimately also harms these great critics and experts of life, because it pushes unworked patterns into the shadows and makes it difficult or impossible to fully show the world your potential - as you really are.

However, this approach can also become a convenient excuse to ignore the opinions of others and not work on yourself. It's not worth going this route either.
