How to remove the mask using spiritual personality typing? Does it sound mystic? A bit confusing? I get it. I’ve been at this for decades, and I’m still learning and unlearning things about myself. But what I have learned, after going through a seven-year life tsunami, is that we have two sides to us: a physical and a spiritual side. When we figure this out and allow our spiritual self, which is tethered to our higher-conscious self, to lead our lives, things become lighter, more serendipitous, and everything seems to flow together.
Now, I’m not saying your life is going to be all unicorns and rainbows, or that every time you pour yourself some cereal, you’ll get all the marshmallows. What I am saying is that you’ll have the tools to handle the difficult moments.
Defining Spiritual Personality Typing™️. This trail-blazing typology reveals the unconventional truth around MBTI®. My tsunami taught me that personality typing without spiritual understanding is an incomplete truth—a soulless path that’s lacking in divine direction, meaning, purpose, wisdom, and enlightened action. So, I set about refining personality typing. Instead of focusing solely on the linear, egoic aspects of self, I’ve illuminated the soul’s role in typing. This emerging theory awakens and unites your sacred persona with your soul’s mission—the embodiment of the true self.
When you fully embrace this new way of thinking about Myers-Briggs® (Myers-Briggs® on a permanent spiritual detour), personality typing can lead to meaningful, soul-centered living, grace, and pure potentiality—a life overflowing with your heart’s desires.

Why We Hide Behind The Mask?
This question is a popular one but for many, we remain unconscious about why we live our lives behind a mask; how we present ourselves to the world. Our very own personal reality. Many use personality typing to point fingers to avoid solutions to life’s pressing problems.
Introverts mask because they may feel insecure, uncomfortable or overwhelmed… Why? Because introverts rely and ponder using an inward, self- reflection. A deeply personal expression of self which they often mask in a world dominated by superficiality. Additionally the world demands answers, and for the most part, introverts, are contemplative thinkers, reflective and prefer to reserve their energy and express themselves when the time is right.
Extroverts wear masks for very different reasons. A mask is often use to falsely express oneself, to please, be seen or heard as they strive for sociability, acceptance, to be seen and heard driven by their innate need for outward expression. This is fairly typical for most extroverts.
Let’s look further…
The mask is an illusion, remove it to find your truth. – Nina Zapala, Founder of Spiritual Personality Typing
Remove the Illusion, Remove the Mask
So how does one remove the mask — seeing the false self for what it is; an illusion.
First, you must recognize you have unconscious aspects that unknowingly support wearing a mask. These unhealthy aspects are often self-delusions, perpetuated by old beliefs, life experiences, and unhealed wounds –– fear and ego at play.
I’ve come to realize we suffer from identity paralysis unconscious aspects of ourself that have been born from inherited values, expectations and societal constructs. Here’s the rub, there is no formulaic way to remove the illusion because each of us is different, and our life path is unquestionably our own. Trust me there is no templated approach.
But their is hope.
I believe I have glimmer of an answer. It lies within knowing your personality type from the inside out. Studying your personality type is a great first step, but if you want to elevate your personality I suggest you begin to study spiritual personality typing. It’s more expansive. For example traditional typologist refer to your the trait you use the most as your dominate trait. I see it as North Star your guiding light, an illuminated primary trait that often reveals your life purpose.
The beautiful things you are here to share with the world. We are all here imbedded with a Divine purpose, and if you insist on wearing a mask, your purpose remains concealed.

Here are Three Steps to Help You Stop Your Stinking Thinking
Acknowledge the Mask: Recognize that you wear a mask for a reason. This mask often stems from your Essential Self, a key personality trait that you rely on most. This trait is usually unbalanced and defensive, causing you to become stuck in your own viewpoints and resistant to others’ perspectives.
Embrace Your True Self: Decide now that the world needs your unique wisdom. Be prepared to fully embrace who you are, independent of societal or familial expectations. This process requires hard work and courage, but you must realize that you are a powerful, divine being with a remarkable purpose. Your goal isn’t to accumulate wealth or achieve a grand future plan, but to live fully in the present and build a genuine connection with your soul-centered Self, aligning with your truth and passion to achieve purposeful prosperity.
Identify and Act on Your Values: Determine what you stand for and start expressing it in small ways. Understanding your core values can be revealed through an in-depth study of your personality traits. You can’t thrive by adopting someone else’s narrative or seeking approval from others. True fulfillment comes from within, not from external validation.
