Human beings are made to fly. They are designed to be extraordinarily creative, generous, collaborative geniuses capable of going beyond limitations, capable of transforming and inventing entire cultures and expressions of their values and their potential. You have been designed this way.

But you, like most people alive right now, were born in modern culture and that did not leave your creative genius unscathed. Right now, there are certain paths you are walking on that have already been laid out to you by others and their purposes. In any domain—from relationships and traditions to projects and work—you are repeating cultural patterns that you adopted from your parents, your religion, your birth country, your class, and the school system you went through in order to survive in said culture and its dehumanizing demands. Perhaps even without noticing, you pay the high price of not only contributing to the devastation of all life on the planet and destroying life for your children, but also the price of losing access to your vitality, aliveness, creativity, and your natural extraordinary nature.
