Topic: Personal History

[Endless~Knot]

"Personal history must constantly be renewed by telling parents, relatives, and friends everything one does. On the other hand, for the warrior who has no personal history, no explanations are needed; nobody is angry or disillusioned with his acts. And above all, no one pins him down with their thoughts and their expectations." ~ DJ

One of the things about personal history is I don't know if I necessarily want to erase it. I cant erase memories of my kids. I do identify with being a mother. And so much of my experiences have defined me. But I do not know if I wish to erase it all. I cling to some things. I don't know if it is a good idea to do so, but I do.

There are still some things that I hold on to too knot. I remember when I had to work at erasing it. Its almost like breaking free from the social contract, and after you have dropped out, you can then venture anywhere with your actions and words, although you must re study the contract, because once you have dropped out, its important to learn and know the boundaries for connecting with people. Although you will find those that you do not have to maintain the walls.

Yes I can understand that. I think sometimes with some folks we need some walls. Like when Im at work I dont let on about my path. Like one of the girls was talking to a boss she was reading the book The Alchemist, and it is a general approach to God from what I understand, and the boss lady kind of cringed, so I took it she was Christian, and didn't understand the general concept. This is when a mask may be sufficent. But it is nice to know folks we do not have to have walls with and can know us, at least as much as we're willing to let on.
