Who I am... who are we?

Art is one way to express who we are. Although, any reaction, movement is an expression. I ask myself... who am I? My thoughts, emotions, history + my genes, priorities?

In the J. Krishnamurti writings in The First and Last Freedom book... I am still reading... if we would like to live in a healthy society, we better begin the reflection: Who am I?: without conditioned past history, dogmas, beliefs, religions, knowledges, or ideas and ideals of who I would like to be. Otherwise we are living in a vicious circle of conditioned "me"'s struggling with each other. Society reflect who we are.

Thus, I am in that cleansing phase... and realise how much my conditioned thoughts play a rol...

Clearly we allow ideas to drive us more than we are aware... or would like to admit. From a pure child to become a limited adult... hmm not fine constatation... Animals like a child can be so pure, clear, open, honest. Simple said, without any of all conditioned thoughts cultivated in our minds, we are who we actually are.

To sense, to think really open, completely aware in the present moment, to let my choices result out of this freedom, to create a real interaction with my surrounding. Like children and animals do. To be pure, honest again, first with ourself and consequently with each other. It is possible!
