None of us knows our genuine self because from the moment of birth we absorb images and behaviors of the people and things around us. We mimic our parents and teachers acting out in accordance with our impressions and their expectations. Our personalities are shaped by external factors and we learn to perform roles rather than live genuinely. We act and react, unknowingly portraying characters in contrast with professional actors who deliberately take on different qualities. People who come to the wisdom of Kabbalah gradually remove their personae to reveal a single point upon which they begin to build their authentic selves. New examples are provided by the Upper Force and used to construct a new and true identity.
