Transcending Identity

We, as layers of identity, are filled with entities;
countless masks from experiences.
The authorities who raise us puts them on,
& so it becomes part of our own. 

Genders, nationalities, families, races, ages, religions, culture,
talents, careers, hobbies, social circles, relationships.
The art we consume, the brands that consume us.
Our successes, failures, psyche, pride, fears, thought patterns,
zodiac signs, stereotypes, ideologies, appearances… Events.

Identity who puts up a resistance from living/loving fully.
from being authentic, from existing free of anything toxic.
Inner system that struggles to find love within
whilst anxiously surviving through those mere fleeting pleasures.
Instant gratification, the craving for acceptance:
Our being’s blinding restrains. 

Multifaceted self-sabotage through identification, the product of it all.
Furthering the separation through a cynical point of view.
The holistic avoidance, an addiction;
A confused mind always distracted by the time surrounding it. 

However, later on, some of us learn to think on their own.
So we turn on & tune in,
and for a moment, this light becomes frightening.
Lighting that thunders, bringing with it the inevitability of change, of growth, of ache.

Suddenly, our whole existence becomes existential,
while our essence -at the same time- essential.
From this point on, glances of the eternal are brought up in our present presence.
Now, eternity reflects maturity; and identity, infinity. 

What’s life? Who am I? Why am I here? What’s the purpose of it all? Why do we love?
Questions whose answers were always present in us
yet so inaccessible to our traditional ways of doing research & solving problems.
Now we see the veil, and so we develop the ability of recognizing the illusion of the separate self and thus experiencing this unity that we describe as being awakened.

Veinticinco años en este espacio-tiempo.
En esta vida, en este juego.
Momento de gratitud.

Hoy reconozco el regalo más especial de cualquier existencia.
El reconocerme como energía pura, como todo lo que hay.
Unión con la fuente. Completo en amor.
Presentemente infinito en el aquí y en el ahora. 

A través de esta perspectiva descubierta, hace presencia la claridad.
Aquí es cuando llega el desaprendizaje y la reconfiguración de procesos mentales.
Psique emocionalmente inteligente, desapegado, creativo y libre.
Ahora consciente de lo maleable que es la identidad.
Perspectiva de artista. Somos amor, somos arte.
