17. Your Greatest Self

Imagine your greatest self. Envision everything you could be and all at once. What did you see? I wonder if you were enormously wealthy in this vision. Maybe you were transcendent of life's problems. I am curious about what you felt as you imagined this. Did you feel abounding love? Did you feel joy and weightlessness? Did you feel more like you? If we took a step back and thought about how others would answer these questions, envisioning their greatest self whatever that means to them, we notice that it is weird how we're all similar. We all wish to be free from something that limits us. We're chasing something or running away or maybe both. We have these same classes of desires within us. In essence, we all want the same things. Instead of asking why I wonder what a true act of rebellion would be. What would I be if I were different?
