Modern civilization's ideas about "identity" are like clothes that do not fit. Race, job, gender, nationality, religion, name, social status, politics, net worth, GPA, smart/stupid, etc...
These identifications that we are told to believe in (as descriptions of "who we are") are either completely fictitious or severely limited. The values, beliefs and materialistic priorities of our cultures totally warped. Fake views!
We are children of Nature, evolving expressions of the galaxies and stars. Potential artists and geniuses, creative and spiritual beings...
All of us::: expressions of the Tao, of Source or God, the Universe's quantum equations... Innate Bio-logical, eco-logical thinkers, lovers and artists, poets and dancers, shining bodhisattvas and buddhas in drag...
When they enter schools, too often our children are treated like butterflies with their wings tied up, forced to crawl on the floor, hang from tree branches by their fingernails, sit alone at desks or at computers, when they should be flying, laughing, singing, collaboratively creating and dancing...
Something needs to be done about this. It's time to shake off these chains of illusion.
Civilization's paradigm needs shifting...
Tao & Zen
