A human being is a complex, self-reflexive, creative agent - a living and embodied being of immeasurable vitality and possibility. Drawing on our faculty for agency and abstraction, we are capable of creating, interacting, and forming relationships with our environment, others and ourselves. Not some static, predetermined entity, but an organism continually unfolding and growing, we co-create our lives in synergy with our surroundings. Whether we step in and out repeatedly of our own definitions and boundaries or appreciate ourselves in a wider, non-dualistic context, these moments of self-realization are opportunities to affect meaningful change in our lives, affecting our personal and collective destinies.
