the identity thing is recurring for us. it is certainly a vacillation in our perception, and it is necessary to maintain the dialectical tension between losing ourselves and gaining ourselves, which is for us the whole essence of true identity - true power. we are not mistaken on either pole; our ontological perception is an alternating current (we like the metaphor better than the simile). great power is generated in the crises of being slammed in opposite directions.
slammed in opposite directions, we feel as though we are surfing the crowd and slam dancing in the pit. yes, we do.
