the MASKS



the Afrikan Mask as Jomel Neter points out, "behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we're capable of ..."

 

"The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. It time to put in work stop marching. Only through experience of times and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. Life is too short to spend hoping that the perfectly arched eyebrow or hottest new lip shade will mask an ugly heart." ~ Jomel Neter April 28, 2015

Nut and Geb are the children of Shu and Tefnut. The sky is the body of Nut, the Sky Goddess, arching from horizon to horizon. The stars are part of her and the sun passes through her every day. Geb is the Earth God, lying beneath her. During the day, Nut and Geb are separated, but each evening Nut comes down to meet Geb and this causes darkness. If storms came during the day, it was believed that Nut had come closer to the earth. ~anon
