The choice is up to the individual, whether he can identify and adopt that choice is where the trouble lies. When I was walking around a shopping centre today I saw a whole bunch of different little groups, all matching in the persona they were projecting and the behavior they were abiding by and its almost like their slaves - all conforming to the expectations of what their personalities should be like and representing that to concrete themselves in the world. Like saying "hey, this is me and this is what im about! yee-wot!". By subjecting yourself to conform to a persona established by society and your culture, your simply fitting in so you can exist within that culture/society. But you dont have to..conform that is. I mean ye these different persona's create division, diversity and greater awareness for the self - in todays consumer driven establishment. To me it just drives you further away from who you really are and creates a whole generation of people who for their whole lives constantly strive to maintain and diversify that 'ersona' which simply results in an striving consumer driven economy.

All this division creates dysfunction in not only our determined persona's but lifestyle and beliefs. There has been a direct correlation between the level of advancement/progress in civilization and the level of dysfunction in terms of the individual being's level of fulfillment and happiness. The more "advanced" the society became (that is, the farther it removed itself from respect for, and alignment with, natural laws and cycles), the more dysfunctional it became in terms of the individual being's feelings of self-respect and fulfillment - and to void that gap in fulfillment we replace it with "identity" and to mend that gap people look to spirituality. You look at aboriginal cultures and the way they raise children and how they meet their emotional, mental, and spiritual health needs. By going back and peeling all these layers off, you can find the path back to the essence of our awareness and that awareness need not conform to any identity but itself.

Again a fantastic and chilling work. Infact the concepts put before me by this one are far wider and deeper actually than the battle scene, though that is more physically detailed, this image seems to require only what it has to tell its story and evoke its questions.
