I am fascinated by our egos and our sense of self. I so appreciate the distinction that is often made between the "self" and the "Self." My small "s" self is my ego, my identity, my physical body, the one who responds to Allison. My large "S" Self can witness the small "s" self and is one with all that is.
I expect this blog to be the exploration, findings, and discoveries of my "self." Hence the small "i". The small s "self" or small "i" I, is on a continual search for the "Self" so will likely explore those ideas as well. Though as I once heard Ken Wilber say, the only thing that wants to destroy the ego is the ego. Unfortunately my "i" isn't aware that "I" am always witnessing "i"Allison.
One last explanation for the iAllison blog. As of late, I have begun to feel that I am turning into a computer generated version of myself. I feel so completed demographicized and calculated. Netflix knows the movies I would like better than my closest friends. Amazon picks out books for me that are spot on, and even Facebook reconnects me with people from my past.
How can I manage to simultaneously feel so "known" by complete strangers, and emotions and thoughts arise and I feel as though I am a mystery even to myself.
So, I will begin to offer my experience, and views of the world as I see them from this place and time. I invite your comments, as new perspectives leads to growth, evolution, and change.
And as Gandhi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world."
