There was once a woman named Elara who lived her life wearing many masks. The ‘Good Daughter.’ The ‘Capable One.’ The ‘Quiet Friend.’ The ‘Polite Professional.’
Each mask helped her survive. But each one also dimmed her spirit.
One night, in a dream, Elara found herself in a room of mirrors. Some were cracked. Some distorted her reflection. Others showed her wearing masks—smiling, silent, agreeable.
But one mirror at the far end shimmered differently.
When she stood before it, she saw herself… not as others expected her to be, but as she truly was.
There was light in her eyes. Strength in her stance. A quiet flame in her chest.
The mirror whispered:
“This is the you that Spirit sees.”
She wept—not from sadness, but from relief.
She touched her face.
And for the first time in years…
She took off the mask.
Your soul came here to live unhidden,
To feel with depth, to love unbidden.
So let your truth be brave and wide—
The mask is gone. The light’s inside.

Service Reflection
Key Theme: You Were Born to Shine—Live Authentically, Awaken Your Soul Senses, and Walk in Truth
This inspiring and deeply spiritual service offered a layered message centred on identity, authenticity, soul awareness, and integrity:
- We are born radiant, but shaped by the world. Over time, we may create masks to protect ourselves—masks that dim our light and disconnect us from our truth.
- True healing and spiritual growth begin when we remember who we truly are. By setting down our masks, we allow our soul’s light to shine through with courage and compassion.
- There are senses beyond the physical. Intuition, peace, foresight, trust, and empathy are the soul’s senses. Honouring and developing them allows us to navigate life with grace and depth.
- Everything mirrors something within us. What we admire, resist, or react to in others can often reflect something our soul is ready to embrace, release, or grow into.
- Integrity is not about perfection—it’s about presence. The “Pinocchio Effect” reminds us that honesty connects us not only with others but with our own soul.
In essence: You are a radiant soul, here to live fully and truthfully. Lay down the mask. Let your light shine. Awaken your soul’s senses and walk in the grace of your divine truth.
