The Model of the Individual (Star)
Masks of the Individual
Yet there are masked ones my servants: it may be that yonder beggar is a King. A King may choose his garment as he will: there is no certain test: but a beggar cannot hide his poverty. [AL 2.58]
Yet again, the Book of the Law offers us a view of the self, the King, that interior aspect of the individual, that is capable of changing their mask at will—much like Assagioli talks about being able to switch in and out of the subpersonalities without them taking over the self. The beggar is the one that is incapable of controlling those masks (subpersonalities). They're stuck. These masks are formed through the interaction of the veils of manifestation (complexes of the psyche) as subpersonalities informed by the work of Assagioli (and also by Internal Family Systems theory).
