Titles

 



The way we sacrifice ourselves to the land of fiction is by taking titles. How could this not be the case if these titles have not been decided by ourselves? It doesn't mean that you can't engage in the fictional world, but it means that you never stop being a man who takes on titles. The titles/labels/personas are not you but a colour of you, your façade, a mask. Thus your essence (woman or man) adds these to his/her being, and in doing so a part of him/herself is lost in the process. 

A title is a fiction applied to a man or a woman to create duties and obligations. 

Are you a man who is playing monopoly? Yes, and while you are playing you will be subject to the rules of the game, but at any point we can stop playing, leave the table, and surely we knew all the time we were the man. Fiction is men's abstractions. Men and women are prior to it.

There is a hierarchy of titles which is the collective consciousness that is also reflected in the hierarchy of laws and we take up those "roles" or titles voluntarily. In doing so, we diminish ourselves and subject ourselves to the powers of others with "higher" titles. You are a man or a woman and have full authority to create. The titles are spiritual fictions, only "live" in the abstract world and their "authority" can be reversed and changed at any given time, at that abstract realm. Buddhists call this "stepping off the wheel of karma".
