Identifieringen med Formen
Glömskan börjar när det vi bebor hävdar att det är allt vi är.
All manifestation requires Form.
The body, the name, the history, the language, the family, the community and the capacities allow us to participate in the world.
Form is not the enemy of the Word.
It is the place where the Invisible can receive presence, limit and work.
Forgetting appears when we cease to inhabit Form and begin to be imprisoned within it.
Then we say:
«I am only this body».
«I am that which happened to me».
«I am my profession, my nation, my religion, my wound, my success or my failure».
A partial and changing reality thus becomes an absolute definition.
The same can happen in a community. Its rules cease to serve Life and the community begins to serve its rules.
A doctrine confuses its language with Truth.
An institution confuses its permanence with the common good.
An economy confuses the growth of its figures with the wealth of lives.
An identity confuses its outline with Being.
Form becomes a prison when it demands that all that we are remain within its limits.
It becomes an idol when it claims the Source.
And it becomes a Beast when it needs to devour Life in order to preserve its dominion.
Disidentification does not mean destroying the body, erasing identity, denying history or abandoning responsibilities.
It means returning each Form to its measure.
Your name distinguishes you, but does not originate you.
Your history has formed you, but does not possess all your future.
Your wound needs truth and care, but must not occupy the Throne.
Your community can offer Dwelling, but cannot proclaim itself Source.
Presence does not eliminate Form.
It opens it.
And when Form ceases to enclose itself, it can once again become Symbol, instrument and Service.
