Towards Maturity from the psychology of bondage

When the boy can be more than what his mother can handle, the men come in with their masks, the boy has to fight the man with the mask ! the man puts up a good fight - but Eventually the boy will win .. 'eventually' I say ! does that remind you of Batman (justice league), or is it just me "If you kill a killer, the number of killers stays the same” 

The mask is never defeated - The mask is always there, and will be ! The mask is the a metaphor to the power that is shaping our society, Shaping you, Shaping me, our families, our companies, and all .. all of it ! 

Now 'WE all' continue that mask, unconsciously ! WE are the representative of that power of that mask .. The personifications, the structures of the society which rubs on to us very soon. 

Since we are conditioned at a much early age, so early we don't even know the many masks we are wearing. 

Today on my chair (on the screen of course) was an interesting entrepreneur of an IT firm, from New Jersey - leading a good business, but would never take the risks in business, without permission - can you see the contrast here ! well, his is a family run business and he'd be always go papa and mumma and the family and try to get them all together, always ! The concern here is - the stress on the word 'Always' from above. 

The real aspect of defeating the man in the mask, is the mistake that the is kid thinking 'the man is dead' - now is he !? 

Well the kid, growing up stops to see the mask man ! Thinking that he is dead and he is gone, untill one day he see the mask, in the mirror in a reflection. Not very far long away, he is now reminded of his fight. Today he has become the man in the mask, he becomes the dragon, the demon or 'That'. he has to bring the kid again to fight THIS man in the mask! will he succeed ?

What has died has been the infantile ego we, till our 12 or 14 years have been extremely dependent on our parents and our society, that is when the psychology of dependence is developed, its a psychology of submission, asking for approval.... and I am not saying its a bad thing, 'That' is needed too - but the key is 'balance' - 

So how do you break out of this psychological bodage and surface the other polarity of self responsibility, courage or assertiveness - that was my line of work today

I remember Bateson's work : 'It takes two to know one' - and the journey here is to begin by killing that 'Infantile Ego' of dependency and to being born into 'Mature ego of Authority'
