applied spirit Jul 16, 2024
 

Do you know that all major life crisis are closely related to identity crisis?

Today-I will share with you a powerful view that will help elevate your performance.

Today, we are tackling a big question that has been pondered by philosophers for centuries: the duality of identity. Buckle up, because we are about to explore the fascinating idea that we are both singular and multifaceted beings.

We will see here today in four steps how by understanding the duality of identity you will be able to optimize your performance.

First, we will review what it is identity and its relationship with duality,

Second, we will review the pros and cons, third the secret on navigating the duality and finally from the spirit performance vantage point how you can take that to the next level.

What is Identity?

Simply, it is the constellation of beliefs, experiences, and relationships that make you who you are. It is the story you tell yourself about who you are, shaped by your past and aspirations for the future.

Duality exists because our identity is constantly evolving on two ends.

On one hand -The Oneself: There is a core sense of self that persists over time. This is the you that remembers childhood experiences and feels a sense of continuity through life's changes.

On the other hand, the Many Selves: We possess multiple identities that influence us in different situations.

As an example, you could be a student, athlete, artist, friend, child of your parents – these are all hats you wear, each shaping how you interact with the world.

Let us see this duality in action:

  • A doctor might see themself as a composed professional at work, but a silly goofball at home with family. These contrasting identities coexist within the same person.
  • Imagine a social worker. Their identity might be deeply tied to helping others, yet they might also be an enthusiastic musician who expresses themselves creatively on stage.

Now consider social media. online personas that might be more outgoing or reserved than our real-life selves. This highlights how we navigate different social spheres with slightly adjusted identities.

The Challenges of Duality

However, this duality can also be tricky for two reasons that it can bring-

Identity Crisis: Sometimes, the constant shift can make you feel like you are constantly performing, unsure of who your "true" self is. Or

Internal Conflict: Our various identities might clash. The environmentally conscious person might feel conflicted working in a polluting industry.

The Advantages of Duality

Adapt: We can adjust our behavior to different situations. The confident athlete might become a shy introvert on a first date.

Connect: We can connect with people on various levels by expressing various aspects of ourselves.

Grow: By exploring these multiple identities, you can discover new interests and talents, constantly evolving as individuals.

Now the third point of today’s training is all about -The key secret in finding Balance.

Finding the balance is done by owning your duality and that can be done in three steps.

Embrace Your Multifaceted Nature: Do not shy away from expressing different sides of yourself.

Identify Your Core Values: What truly matters to you? These core values function as the anchor that ties your various identities together.

Be Authentic: Strive to be genuine in all your interactions, even if it means adjusting your style slightly depending on the situation.

Last point, my favorite is about understanding the bigger picture.

On a spirit performance level or the quantum do which goes beyond our human dimension-

That is what I teach in the quantum do- the fundamental that quantum energy behave like a wave or a particle…

For us, as living beings we are both creation and creator.

We have been created and we have also been endowed to participate in the creation as creators.

How do you navigate that duality here in lies the question?

When to be persistent and keep trying versus when to release and let grace chime in?

When do you step in to help mold your environment, versus when you let grace take over?

In that duality you understand that we are one, all coming from the same source manifesting the diversity of that one.

As you can see it is beautiful -The duality of identity is a complex dance. By understanding it, you can gain a deeper appreciation for yourselves and the ever-changing world around you. As human beings our consciousness is that gift that allows us to navigate this powerfully life.
