I AM NOT BIPOLAR

I would like to clear this up. I am not bipolar, I have bipolar which means that i am not my illness. It’s a part of me but it does not define me. We tend to define ourselves in terms image, possessions, gender, age, status, money, culture, beliefs, patterns, 3ostly how  people view us according to their lense of conditioning but at core we are all human experiencing life from birth to death, with its pains and its joys. The rest are relative additions or substractions to our core self. We do need definitions to organize and make sense of our reality, the problem is it is also these definitions that become identifications and is such will limit ourselves and make us suffer soon or later because no matter what, life does not garantie you with an everlasting of all these things, you can lose your health, your home, relationships, job, money…you have one life, one body, one brain and then “poof”you will dissapear. So while you are on earth, why not make the best of it and let go some of that drama about who is the smartest, prettiest, victimest, spiritualiest, richest and so on? How about being the best human being you can be from your stand which means dedicate your life work to contribute to a conscious caring Earth where egos “the me’s” are not dominating.
