He knew that they didn’t think his presentation held anything in it for them. On the night of the exhibition he passed out free samples of the mask remover and instructions on how to apply it. He urged the attendees to become aware that they were acting from fictitious ideas about themselves and explained to them that they were too identified with the parts they played. “You’ve worn your masks for so long,” he said, “that you don’t even know you have them on anymore. But if you practice these instructions everyday your masks will eventually fall off.” Then he vanished.

Some of the people felt that the wise man had a good product but were not convinced that they themselves wore false faces. They took their bottles home and never opened them and continued to act out the roles of their masks, all the while believing that they were being themselves. Some of the people even

resented the magician suggesting that they were someone other than who they thought they were. They went around telling the others in Whimsical Valley that the magician was a fraud.

But some of the people who attended the demonstration tried the mask

remover. Most forgot to use it everyday because it was a new activity for them, but whenever they remembered, they applied the magician’s instructions. It wasn’t until their masks started coming loose that they were even able to really believe that they wore them. — Spiritualendeavours.com
