How can you be authentic without having knowledge of self?

Not necessarily in a complete sense…but having that understanding that guides you.

As a parent, I think there’s a delicate balance in raising my children. On one hand, they need guidance and expectations. But they are also individuals and unique souls.

I think it helps to understand when they acquire knowledge of self. But that happens differently for everyone.

There are a lot of great thinkers that have theories about human development.

But one artist has a perspective on it that really resonates with me.

I have fond memories of listening to Wu-Tang Clan’s Liquid Swords album while growing up. It was like nothing else. It was a hip-hop album inspired by Kung Fu movies.

It sounded alien.

And there’s an interesting reason why…

There’s a significant shift we experience when recognizing the things that are sacred in our lives as well as the sacred traditions that have been handed down to us from previous generations.

It’s easy to get caught up in the swell of hypermodernity and hyper-information.

There is just so much we’re exposed to.

But if we lose touch of the fact that there are sacred things in life..and that we are sacred…it becomes a big probem.

This certain act a majority of people believe is wrong–me included.

A line that shouldn’t be crossed and violated.

By why?

There is something about our ancestors–those who have passed–that’s sacred.

It’s common in most cultures and belief systems.

So when someone struggles with entering spiritual domains, I asked them this one particular question.

What do you consider sacred?

What transcends the ordinary to a level of sacred for you?

I think there’s a lot that’s scared. We have to examine our lives to define it.

What makes something sacred?

It’s a tough question to answer because the term is so subjective.
