Who I am is only part of the picture, my name is not really relevant, who we are is really the heart of the matter, especially in this day and age with so much Cognitive Dissonance and Group Think going around.
We, as animal and spiritual beings, have lost our way, we have lost our Authentic Nature, our Savage Individual Selves; this is no fault of anyone else because we allowed this tragedy to befall us, each and every one of us, just as we are allowing it to befall our Children through indoctrination rather than Education, by initiating them into a mass Group Think, whether it be Right Wing Ideology or Left Wing Ideology, even Centrist Ideology, the tragedy has no one else to blame save that who stares back from the mirror each day.
We think and act in ways deemed socially acceptable by whatever worldview with which we identify, we shout words not our own across digital media, in person, firing off opinion after opinion as though they were irrefutable fact and morally correct, seldom thinking about that which we are actually saying, actually thinking, the ways in which we are actually acting.
What is more, we seldom wonder whether or not these things even have roots from within, from that ground within each of us that is truly Authentic; we know it is there, we can feel it gnawing at us day in and day out, yet we have no idea what it is, what is worse, we are terrified of it, we push it down without actually knowing it, we go about our days as though this outer appearance were actually ourselves.
We NEVER acknowledge the masks we wear or the underlying savage that exists beneath the surface.
This new introduction is an invitation to join in the journey of rediscovery, of acceptance, of integration... An invitation to become who you are deep inside.
This includes the good, the bad, and the ugly... There is no escaping this if we want to go forth into the world to make any sort of difference, if we do not take this journey we are dooming ourselves and future generations to mediocrity, or worse, to oblivion.
What will it be? Slave or Savage??
