Your Name
Think about how names define things in the mind. Then think about what name you call yourself around other people.
- When in front of the kids: do you think of yourself as “Mom” or “Dad.”
- Or when working, do you think of yourself as your job title.
- Or when by yourself: are you nameless?
- But when around others do you express yourself as a given name?
It’s interesting since upon thinking of yourself in a name: look at the shape in the form of actions and what you say. How do you change in behaviors and these actions? Does the name define you more than your actions? One trap for many people is that a name drives their actions more than they realize.
I am of no name: taking upon the name I desire to be, when I occasionally need to be something for others.
This a form of power and magic if one knows the truth of names.
Yes, names can be meaningless and but when around others, when thinking of the name: it can have the power to shape a person’s actions and their very nature.
So what is your true name? Do you even have a true name, of who you are?
What is my name?
When swimming in the river or wind: I am a Dragon. When with co-workers I am Casey. When with my children I am dad. Over time I have discovered 10,000 names and stopped counting. It all circles back around so when I am with myself, I am simply me.
I am very happy simply being me.
