Thank you for your input Yoshi. Like usual it bears the stamp of your unique individuality and your home spun philosophy on life.  i think you are right though; without balance we only teeter tooter between dual approaches to life's challenges.

Eric mentioned this: "i struggle with self identity versus learning to let go of self
having identity and accepting none ? survival makes me think we're a part of this world and yet there are teachings that ask to let everything go all the way down to the idea of who you are. and yet sometimes it is that idea which helps you grow or feel happy/fulfilled."

It is interesting to me that in the higher golden age of satya yuga most of the inhabitants of the earth know the divine plan and live their lives in accordance to it. Their sense of fulfillment comes from a higher purpose. In this sense are identities are connected to a larger whole or identity. We are one with the creators purpose and his goals become ours. Our consciousness expands beyond the temporary role we play in these forms in which we now reside. Perhaps this is more of a outlook suggested to us by higher beings of consciousness who have graduated from the emotional and physical realms in which most of us reside where we temporarily find our identities; our happiness and fulfillment. What makes a child fulfilled does not often give satisfaction and happiness to an adult who has grown tired with childish things.

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Corinthians 1:13
