“we have been very naive about what culture is. how it is something
designed for the convenience of the species. it can turn you into a
banker, janitor, celebrity, etc, with no interest in whether or not
that is good for you. i think most people think when you get to be 30,
35, 40 or something, you have jumped all the hurdles. you got your
college degree you had some children you made some money you lost some
money you had a marriage maybe you had several. and most people think
“oh yeah i’ve done it.” well, actually, the major adventure still lies
ahead. the major adventure is to claim your authentic true being which
is not culturally given to you. the culture will not explain to you
how to be a real human being. it will tell you how to be banker
politician, janitor, masseuse, actor, whatever, but it will not give
you true being. and maybe this is the voice of one who just turned 50
talking…but i thought it would get simpler. it doesn’t because this
rejection of culture thing is the last and hardest step to take. and
there are all kinds of impediments to taking it. the fact that in
middle age, if you’ve played the game right, you get a lot of money.
that’s totally stultifying in most cases in terms of going forward to
the next level. its almost as though culture is an enterprise help
organized to buy you off at the moment when you might be most
dangerous to its values and goals.”
