This title reveals how humans create their own experiences by the masks they choose to wear. These masks are adopted, sometimes unconsciously, for purposes of manipulation or defence. However, the challenges of life seem to be magnified because the universe relects back the disguises worn, replaying misconceptions and vulnerabilities in the physical world. The author lists the 12 masks humans tend to wear, for example, Victim, Tyrant, and Warrior, and explains the resulting cause and effect relationships, their relationship to planetary energies, inner archetypes, the inner psyche, and life conditioning. He maintains that through a new understanding and inner knowledge life can be enjoyed to the full as the true persona is revealed.
