Created Persona
Creating a persona is all part of the Conditioned Mind with life setting the stage for it to be played out. In silence you’re still on stage, but a created persona isn’t needed…
Most of the things that are reached for throughout life are used because of a created persona. It’s as if you’re on stage and your persona is being created from unknowing conditioning; taking on whatever the assigned persona you think is needed at the time. Each person studies their lines and creates their persona in whatever way their conditioning has been developed; there are many roles used in creating a persona. This created persona is associated with the things reached for to make your part in the play more pleasurable; not many want to be in a play where everyone sits around in silence. It would seem there is needed drama for life to be more pleasurable; this is the created persona of the Conditioned Mind.
Only in silence can life be lived to the fullest. Without a created persona you’re still present on the stage of life, but you’re not controlled by the rehearsed conditioning. It’s this conditioning that creates a need for a persona. In silence with the stage already set a persona doesn’t have to be attached to nor do you need to create one in the puppet show of a conditioned life…

Deceived by Beliefs
When there’s a belief you need something to provide peace, you’re being deceived by that belief. Until this is understood, you’ll remain deceived by the belief that peace is outside of you…
There will never be peace in your life as long as you’re deceived by the belief that peace is outside of you. Peace is something that’s already within everyone, but because of the way our minds are conditioned we’re deceived by the belief that peace is something to find. Unfortunately beliefs are what makes the very thing you’re seeking elusive. Being deceived by a belief is the reason one is constantly reaching for something outside. Until this is no more you’ll remain looking for peace in the next thing reached for. This can’t be stressed enough as this deceived believing has to be seen if you’re ever to truly experience peace.
Being deceived that you need a belief to be at peace isn’t peace. What has to happen if peace is to ever be experienced is there has to be an understanding of how your deceived beliefs block your peace. The reason why peace is elusive is because of the inability to see clearly. When the need to reach for something arises the deceiving by belief begins; this is a conditioned cycle that’s very difficult to break. Peace isn’t something that can be manufactured so it’s in seeing this that peace arises. Many get lost trying to find peace, but since it’s already within the deceived belief associated with finding peace needs to be discarded so you can uncover the reason why you’re deceived by the belief that you’re not at peace…
