Self Appraisal along with praising the self is not only encouraging, but also self-determining. To qualify oneself cheerfully, to evaluate oneself optimistically, encourages also the angelic help which is all around us. The opinion we hold about ourselves does actually become reflected and experienced in the beings of those closest to us, who in turn see much of themselves incarnate in us.

For the angelic helpers often find themselves quite inseparable to us when it comes to a working consciousness. Their powers of affinity quickly begin this co-existent nature, and impels them to seek out identity amongst those of our own.

Devic spirits often mimic the folk around them, whilst the higher and more organized angeloi are transparently impressionable at times.

And so we can be mindful of this when we come to view even the lesser aspects of ourselves – not to forsake prudence of course – but however harsh we may be, may we be kindly.

If you are dissatisfied with yourself, you can still conduct both the assessment and the attempts at change, in a happy fashion. For to do this will be of the greater assistance, than for the dejected who dismiss their invisible helpers by the very attitude which promoted the complaint in the first place.
The adornment of costume and/or jewellery, the wearing of decorative hats, or any other accessories worn for beauty or fun brings us to that part of the nature expressed which is essentially playful, whilst at the same time attempting self-improvement.

Uniforms can be as sinister as they can be remoralising. When an individual chooses his adornment he becomes enhanced spiritually in the very way he imagines himself to be when he has first placed the article upon him. The very ‘glamour’ or statement that is assumed at the time of the choosing and the placing is that which emanates and radiates out from him (or her) in the surrounding ethers.

This becomes a personal creativity, which again will assist the overall spiritual psyche, whilst also give out a very real impression of how one wishes to be known by.

We can query the bed-dress as is given to the hospital patient. Some might argue that to strip them from familiar clothes and jewellery eases the patient from the concerns of the world, and even of beingness – and can be more restful because of it. Yet, if it is a positive recovery back into the world that we should mainly desire for them, it would be provocative to encourage their expression of themselves in the wearing of articles that best suit them and their hopes and ideas of who they should like to be and become.
