P. 7
It is natural that we are trying to survive, but what happens is we
become identified with our protective layers and behaviours and
forget about what is underneath. The diseased self, the injured self,
the addicted self, the achieving self, the anxious self, etc. — we forget
the one who is looking through the mask. We forget our inherent
goodness, our radiant gold.
“Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by
washing away from it all that is not gold.”
- LEO TOLSTOY

How do they protect you? What are they protecting?
What is your relationship/feelings towards your
armor/strategies?
