You may have wondered if I was ever going to get to the original subject of what is right with you. One of the reasons for the other topics is that we need to evaluate ways that we can lose our way from what is right. That is why even when we get closer, we have phrases that often adequately describe how something is there all along, but we have obscured it. Examples include, "a diamond in the rough," or "our hidden jewel/treasure." This can even show up in dreams of treasure, or perhaps discovering rooms in a home that were not there before. Much to our frustration, our hidden gems can become strangers even to ourselves. Further, when we begin to encounter more of something closer to our uniqueness, we find that we can be quite afraid of it. Sometimes this can appear in dreams in the form of showing up in public places in our underwear or even naked! Of course, this does not mean that one needs to shed one's clothes to be more real or display our real talents! However, the feeling that such a dream creates, can be like that feeling when we relax our outer persona or self-image to "expose" more of ourselves. This can be more frightening than we had thought. Many have stories of being so excited something newly learned, want to share, or some ability, and then have a painful response like being teased, criticized, ridiculed, ignored, etc. In coming posts, I will explore more issues related to this matter and further explorations in more self-discovery and "what is right with you."
