The Tao of Jesus Crisis: I(dentity) Ku
Identity is
Not where you are coming from
But where you're going

I thought the journey was the destination

Where you are going is both the journey and the destination isn't it?

carlos casteneda says you have to keep changing your identity or else other's are going to lock you into who they think you are.

When I was thirty years old I was very sure in my identity. I was a wife, mother of twin boys, a daughter and a sister. I was an extraordinary homemaker. Then in one day I lost my mother, my sons,and on the same day my husband left me. I was lost. I was nothing. I had to decide to fight to get my identity back and today I am a wife, a mother, a sister with new sisters I never had before and I also have two people in my life who are not my parents but who love and look after me as if I were their daughter. It is possible to re-invent yourself as what you were, or as something completely different. I chose to reassume and pursue my former identity.

Identity is a two sided coin... how you view yourself and how others view you... sometimes they do not match... actually often they do not match.
Is it important that they do? I don't know....
I guess it depends on how wrapped into the whole "appearances are important" scenario you are.
Because appearances can be deceiving... both to ourselves and to others. In the land of illusion... or delusion... nothing is sacred.
And I mean that literally as well as figuratively.
I'd prefer to be me... and be misunderstood and alone than to something I am not.... and be famous.
