Morgue said that we have different personas depending on the situation. We have one persona at work, a different persona when interacting with our family members and yet another persona when being with friends and so on.
And if I understood Morgue correctly, behind the different personas is our shadow! The shadow in the sense of the self that we want to hide. That makes it easier to understand why the heart-based action practice I proposed earlier is so difficult in practice. Because that's about acting directly from heart feelings without any persona as a public shield.
Quote:"A persona (plural personae or personas), depending on the context, can refer to either the public image of one's personality, or the social role that one adopts, or a fictional character.[1] The word derives from Latin, where it originally referred to a theatrical mask.[2] " - Wikipedia
