Secrets

It seems so logical to have them: secrets. Keeping something hidden for someone else. But why do you really do this? A secret is a projection of the assumption of your personality with regard to a certain situation, the assumption of reactions and consequences to follow, and the wish to not have to face these in that way but attempt to create an outcome that is more pleasant to your personality.

So it is a way to attempt to influence the outcome of a situation by not sharing information with certain people. This alone makes it clear that it is a personality control tool which serves a personality goal: influencing an outcome in a way that the desired outcome for your personality, 'nice', is maintained as much as possible.

It can be used for other goals as well, like making a relationship with the person with whom you share the secret more exclusive, and other goals can be served as well. For example, having a secret always causes tension, and you also have to remain alert that you do not give away the secret, which is an ideal way for your personality to keep himself occupied. To a certain level, your personality can sell tension as a pleasant experience to you. And now nót giving away the secret has become a goal worth striving for in itself, which you can feel good about and through which the basis of having the secret itself, disappears further from your awareness.

Secrets, big ones and small ones alike, can be used perfectly for becoming aware of roles your personality plays. Become aware of what it is that you are trying to avoid, control or hide from or otherwise attempt to create. Then realize what it is that you are actually doing and why. This is not about giving away secrets, nor about suddenly starting to be honest or confess things, since that are simply different personality ways to create a personality outcome; it is about becoming aware in full of the mechanism of creating and keeping secrets and thus maintaining your personality. Increasing Awareness will automatically come with the decrease of interest to keep on repeating this process. You can invite your inner Self as well to boost this process even further.

By the way, there is also another side on secrets: someone who keeps a secret for you. When you suspect this or find out, you are likely to experience a personality reaction as well: one as a reaction to the unpleasant experience that people attempt to manipulate you, or do not want to share something with you, which is guaranteed to not meet the image your personality attempts to uphold from himself. These reactions too can be used for becoming aware of - and letting go of your investment in - your personality.
