Well, I see within that reflection all the possibilities of who I might be now, who I might become, and the past possibilities of the person I might have been if I had not chosen the Path and the identity that I have.

I have added your blog to my blogroll so that I may visit your site. Thanks again for making this an introspective journey.

I quite agree to your answer to my initial question. We are what we create ourselves to be in every moment. And yet, even our self creations hold influence over the very nature of our creative process. In other words, likened to what you said, creation is but fluid energy (what i like to call “passionate potential”) that is both influences and is influenced by itself; and we are, well… somewhere in the mix of it all.

You answered my last question about ‘what you see when you look at another chameleon who is camouflaged as you’ by saying “I find that I avoid that person, as if seeing my own reflection might expose my secrets.”

And while I know these words (and experience) well, I might further deepen the pondering by asking… Who else, but your-Self, do you see within the reflection of the mirror of life?

Being as there is only ever one moment of “interaction” within what we call life, and the infinite possibilities of interactions exist, all at once, within this one moment… what “secrets” could ever be hidden here?

Again, many blessings to you and yours…

In answer to your questions:

…has this “ability” given you the feeling of having no “true” identity? Is it this idea of “identity” your reason for leaving your inner chameleon behind? I believe that, as humans, we tend toward “needing” to feel as if we “know ourselves,” and do so through a sense of identity. I have learned from this experience that identity is never static, but fluid. That is unless we get stuck on one aspect of our perceived identity, and cannot move past it. What we perceive ourselves to be is what we become, if only to ourselves.

Do any of us have a “true” identity, or are we all just chameleons to the experiences we have? We are all chameleons in our own ways. In our differences is our sameness.

What do you see when you look at another chameleon who is “camouflaged” as you? I find that I avoid that person, as if seeing my own reflection might expose my secrets.

Thanks again, Chameleon of the Cosmos, for making me think even deeper on this.

Your words are like my words…
Your story is like mine (with it’s variation)…

So I ask you… has this “ability” given you the feeling of having no “true” identity? Is it this idea of “identity” your reason for leaving your inner chameleon behind?

Do any of us have a “true” identity, or are we all just chameleons to the experiences we have?

What do you see when you look at another chameleon who is “camouflaged” as you?

Just some thoughts. Many blessings to you for the wonderful blog.

Third, thanks for the Yul Brenner moment. I loved that guy! So bald, so ahead of his time …
