Affirmation of Self

Western "Modern Society" places much emphasis on the role of genetics and biology in determing the existance, and grounds of legal rights on which a human being may legally and socially express there sense of being.

By this I mean the basis on which one is to interact with others in their day to day relationships . Expections are that an individual with a specific Karyotype will act as a particular gender, displaying male or female qualities. This expectation often exists in the absence of any formal sceintific verification of genetic makeup.

But I would suggest that the worlds current knowledge of genetics is limited and that genetics is better considered as multi-dimentional sceintific exploration that does not quatify the total sum of an individuals being.

This fits with my experience having being rasied as a young child being told i was an identical twin, when clearly I did not express the same gender as my twin. No two people are the same and the phrase "identical twin" is not what it seems to be.

"The goal of this dance of Recovery is integration and balance. That means celebrating being a tree while also glorying in being a part of the forest. Recovery is a process of becoming conscious of our individual wholeness and our ONENESS with all." The healing process is full of paradox and irony on multiple levels. One of those paradoxes is that in order to get in touch with our ONENESS with everything, we must first be able to define our self as separate from others. And in order to become an integrated whole being, we must first separate and own all of the different parts of our self within. As long as we don’t have clear boundaries between our self and others, we cannot know where we end and someone else starts - we cannot get clear on what is our stuff and what is theirs. As long as we don’t have clear boundaries within ourselves, we are set up to be the victim of our own thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Detachment is a vital technique in starting to see our self and others more clearly." - Codependency Recovery: Wounded Souls Dancing in the Light Book 2: A Dysfunctional Relationship with Life Author’s Foreword
