Identities:
If there is but one body, any number of Identities can be adopted by the individual.
By adopting various objectives and corresponding values that characterize various Interpretive Personifications, the individual can adopt or create various personifications distinct from the singular body. Persons can adopt the Identities of Chef, Animator, Auctioneer, Monk or Mortgage Broker, Skydiver or Spy. These Identities can correspond or conflict with the Ego. A Chef may more readily correspond to the Ego than a Skydiver. Identities can equate to the Ego, or can be individual, antagonistic, conflicting or hostile to the Ego, and the Identities of others. Identities such as racist, religious fanatic, con-artist and thief may conflict with other personifications. Identities may correspond to Conservative tenants like 'early to bed, early to rise', but because they are creations of the mind, without the necessity of actual physical embodiment, like one imagined themselves to be a future rock star, and because Identities are usually adopted as correspondences to the accomplishment of objectives, like firemen fight fires, Identities may be created for the sole purpose of progressive goals, as more than simple maintenance. The Identity was an all-night gambler. The the mind can create any number of Identities, that may or may not be grounded in reality, like the difference between taxi driver, who has the imagined persona of race car driver.Identities for the most part are based on externalities to the body, as Identifications and personifications based on objectives, as skill, professions, achieving goals or wannabe.
Most Identities are upstanding. However of the Progressive Paradigm, Identities are used to achieve distinction, separation and superiority over the context of the universal Ego-body, creating antagonistic dualities between body and mind.Psychology (6 of 16) Next Page
