Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 If one is rebelling against what one has been taught, against the notions of "sin" that were "put on" on like a second nature when one was innocent, it is not even the rebllion itself that is our true nature, but it is possible that through reblling we may find it. Possible. Stephen Wolinsky talks about this in "Trances People Live" in which he talks about the child's desire to experience pure being and how the parents and society are always superinposing limits. To the extent that the child experiences limits that feel to the child to squelch her own pure being, she may rebell, and rebnellion is nothing more than an oppositional trance to the original trance induced by the parents and society that says when we experience our pure being we are bad. One who is caugt in either pole of an oppositional trance system has still not found her own true nature -- One May find it by rebelling, or one may lose oneself in the opposite eld of the polarity and remain in relative unconsciousness living by rebellion rather than one's true nature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
