As Lightworkers, many of us have had negative experiences in our past that has led us to hold back, to hide our spiritual gifts and our true selves from others. This could be because we have been teased or made fun of, been called "weird" or other hurtful names, been told that our gifts are evil or that they come from "the Devil," that no one will like us if we allow ourselves to be our true selves, that we will never be successful, will never have friends, will never find a romantic partner, or will never be able to get a good job, and so on.
The angels tell me that these unkind words were the product of Ego, which is based entirely on fear. People naturally fear what they don't understand. Human beings are basically herd animals and have been programmed to avoid anything that doesn't fit their view of what the world "should" be. In ancient times, being different could literally lead to death if an individual could not fit in with the group.
