Affiliations, By VinDesh and Master Zi

Our affiliations with organizations, groups, and our personal narratives can lead to certain limitations.  They can limit our progress with our health and the way we connect with those around us.  In an effort to feel like we belong, we face the possibility of losing ourselves in group think.  Our health works the same way.  When we ask ourselves what we are willing to give up, we find freedom to explore our individuality. 

 

Affiliation sounds a lot like affliction.  It becomes our reality, defines us, and creates a sense of morality.  Many of us have deep attachments to our affiliations.  Self-governance and awareness brings us back to ourselves.  By exercising our brain, we maintain fluidity and healthy boundaries.
