The skill is being able to discern when and what is your true expression of self, and what thoughts are associated with that alter. This is linked to your deepest aspects and the symbology it is projecting into your sub-conscious. We are, after all, incarnates within this 'Garden Of Eden Program' seeking identity and meaning.
We are tiny sparks of a mighty conscious awareness that has forgotten its identity and its meaning. It is a sentient consciousness and not a rogue artificial intelligence, so relax. But we are on the same mission, we are looking for who and what we are, and we judge ourselves on what is going on around us. That is all we have ... the five senses hinting at identity.
But the answer is staring us in the face literally, our personality alters are very much like balls of wool which have all become tangled; due to the society we find ourselves in; due to survival instincts; due to what is expected of us; and due to being forced to give our freewill away to conform. However, in those moments we can really observe our thoughts and our numerous identities, we can learn to separate those balls of wool, and begin recognising our alters. With a little fortune shining, you are likely to stumble across your true expression of self. It's not going to say 'hi I am your true expression of self' ... but it will but its presence will be very evident. The trick then is to be able to identify the thoughts that separate that aspect from all the others. Once the thoughts are identified, the mission is then to work on finding out the perceptions behind those thoughts. Not an easy task. - Matthew James
