11 Degrees of Freedom

The Universe that we live in is more wonderful and magickal than most ever wish to admit. We limit ourselves daily as we go about our lives so that we can conform to the societies in which we are born or live. Most of us have our 'World Views' shaped as children, and rarely escape the prisons that are placed around our minds when we reach adulthood. The shackles that bind us into 'realities' which constrict our freedom of movement in the Universe of Being are multitude and Legion. Most of us do not wish to leave the confines of the corrals that we build up with 'morals' that are considered normal outlooks on reality. We kid ourselves when we deny that we will act differently if placed in a position of power or servitude to authority, most will fail miserably at being 'humane'. The reason in my opinion is that we don't know ourselves thus we allow 'created' identities to rule us in times of war, pressure and even day to day lives. Our folly is that as Humans, we do not know ourselves.

Here in America we are armed with many ingrained sets of identification that we are able to switch on and off like changing wardrobes. We have our work face, our church face, our love face and the face we wear when driving in backed up traffic and we're late for work. Each of these 'faces' seems to be the same when looking in the mirror but is decidedly different in reality. A change of 'personality' or more?
Being that in todays world most here in America are strung out on acquiring 'things' and trying to become 'successful' we have limited our selves into a corner that holds us willingly captive. We may say that one thing is what is important to our life, but we live as if other less than rewarding things are the important things of this existance
