Something I've been stewing on, yet another thing on my mind since fighting monkey intensive in January. Normal versus special.
Feeling special is a partitioning.
Gives a different value to experiences, can make one feel more vulnerable easily offended and angered. The "don't you know who i am" effect. Ego is in sway.
Moments where i have felt special or wanted to be special, are moments where I've felt fragile, vulnerable and disconnected.
In Systema books they talk about doing the work, being professional.
Jozef and Linda described it as being normal.

You're not special;
Some kind of normal
most likely. Saving the damsel, Saving
the people, being patient, Doesn't
make you special;
Doesn't make your pains, nor your
suffering special. Nothing
new under the sun;
Some kind of normal
most likely. Love
it.
