   Perhaps we are all PRACTICING having our (socially constructed ) identity( when it really “has ” us) until we master being (socially) anonymous, Then we can give “birth”. to our unique (yet paradoxically universal) humanity identity.

   There needs to be a UNIVERSE IDOL blog, etc where I prove I am free from emotional defensiveness. Of course anyone can be made instictively defensive if there is an actual, real threat to them physically, but in Universe Idol everyone who is on the web can try to make me defensive with insults, judgements about me, etc., and in an interaction I would turn their criticism back at them by stating “you are only PRACTICING to make that judgement about ME because it originates in a judgement about yourself! I know I would win Universe Idol.

   I left the “n” out of instinctively. Rather than be defensive about it I am correcting it now. Who thinks they can make me emotionally defensive? You may need to find out about me by googling or using other search engines like dogpile.com, etc to to get information about me to try to use against me. But even if you know me are family, etc I challege you to try to make me defensive. It is amazing to me that people can be demonized like what is happening in Newburgh NY where a fake bomb is used to entrap some people were angry primarily at themselves. Does anyone else see it this way?

   wouldn’t being anonymous be part of your Identity as well? If there were more than one anonymous then he/she would be accepted by other anonymous revolutionaries because of your anonymous identity?

   Anonymous identity is a paradox, and/or an oxymoron.. Would being anonymous be apart from the limitations of identity or would being anonymous result in limitations instead of freedom? For me, to be truly anonymous, instead of the masked character that is part of a costume, might mean being so totally IN the present that the Presence of this presentness engulfs all ddrama and ego limitations so that there is freedom (as much that is humanly possible, considering inevitable, limitations of physicality, like gravity, basic needs, etc for physical survival ) Sorry it took me a very long time to see that this was here! As far as being an anoymous revolutionary, I would hope that everyone would bring their unique e x periences to their unique vision/mission
