AN ELDER

An Elder

Becoming an elder is a unique individual achievement. Act III of elder is a solo performance. 

 

You began the path, joining a number of teachers and pilgrims along the way. But there is a point towards the end of the journey when you find yourself alone. The last mile of the path is when you become that unique, singular, unmatched expression of yourself. That self that has always been there but not fully uncovered. But now as an elder, you finally experience two aspects of the polarity at this instant. 

Here is a video that allows you to see an elder, and how he became an elder who mastered life's polarity until there was no polarity. 

Someone who is distinct, special, idiosyncratic, single, exclusive, one and only, rare, a one-off, and totally unafraid to be seen this way. The essence of an elder. 

 

This 36-minute documentary is about the art and heart of living outside of conventions, in deep integrity with one's essence, featuring Michale Behrens.

 

Elders live their essence.
