Why Feeling Invisible Is a Lie Your Personality Tells You

In this Soul Snack, Gary Zukav goes after the frightened parts of the personality that convince people they are invisible and without impact. His answer is that this feeling is never actually true, it's only ever a perception, and he traces it back to a Buddhist saying that puzzled him for decades: the river of suffering is deep and wide, a turn of the head is the other side.

That turn of the head is the shift Gary describes: moving out of one enclosed world and into an entirely different one, from fear into love. Two worlds are now calling to each person at once, one built on gratitude, patience, and contentment, the other on anger, worry, and despair, and the choice between them is never made for you.

The invitation is to recognize that this choice is never only personal. It shapes the maturation of your own personality and the evolution of your soul, while also feeding directly into the collective consciousness and the evolution of humanity itself.
