We all play roles in this ongoing story we call life... So much of the role we play is based on the physical body and mind we occupy. Each physical body comes complete with inherent assumptions. We seek to validate our existence and our roles by looking to others, trying to see sameness; And yet at the same time we seek individual expression, attempting to free ourselves from sameness.
Past historical story lines create assumptions that are difficult to shake. Our psyches connect to commonly shared thought, or we connect to patterns that seemingly repeat over and over... How do minds and hearts change? Is there a purpose to the polarities that seem to be created from our tendency to both identify with and differentiate ourselves from others? Does each role play an important part of the bigger picture? And so often, no one wants to be The Bad Guy in the story, so we'll paint all others as the villain... So often we justify our actions based on a perceived storyline... Are there really bad guys and good guys? Is "bad" and "good" really so clear, distinct and separate from each other?
