The Three Faces of You: Marc Gafni

So what does it mean? Self love means the perception and identification of the true self. Which raised the essential human question – Who is the real self? In searching “Who am I? Am I the public me that goes to work and office parties; or perhaps I am the private me – the sum total of all those deep and dark secrets I keep so carefully hidden?”

We all have multiple personalities. The first me is the refined, ethical, cultured and sensitive me. I am confident, cheerful, hardworking and, of course, deeply loving. The second me is just beneath the surface, the me I don’t invite to polite social affairs. We all have a second-me video going on behind the scenes. In that video there is anger, violence, triple X rated scenes, jealousy, and all those other deep dark secrets stowed conveniently away in our Pandora’s box.

Freud believed that the real me was this second-me video, while the outside personae is just the thin veneer of culture. Many of the social engineers of the 19th century believed that the public social me is the real me. Biblical myth points to a different figure to stand forward when my name is called. The third me. About the third me…later today…

gorgeous day to you!
