British Bangladeshi Muslim 21 Year Old

I’m usually a lurker on this blog but, I’ve decided to send in a POC profile - mainly because it’s so rare for me to see someone like me represented in the media. In fact, I’m not certain I’ve ever seen someone Bangladeshi represented in mainstream media

Beauty Standards

Colourism is a very big thing still in the Bangladeshi community. My parent’s generation, despite liking to think that they’re very open minded still fall into the trap of the narrow minded view so present in the older generations. I’ve always fallen on the fairer side and as I grew up and developed mild iron deficiency, people would comment on how beautiful my skin was (and some people use the Bengali word for beautiful as being synonymous for fair), whilst my younger sister who is on the darker side but very rarely gets such comments.

Clothing

On a day to day basis, I wear casual English clothes or more casual Asian clothing around the house. But, for special occasions where I’m going to be with other Bengali people, I do tend to wear traditional clothing. Essentially, all the women in our house have two wardrobes; one with English clothes and one with Asian clothes. Although, nowadays, the English wardrobe seems to be growing more and more packed. A quick thing - traditional Asian clothes, especially those that are very flashy and embroidered, are heavy and so people don’t tend to wear them that often.

But - it differs between person to person. My mum wears English clothes around the home but her older sister wears a saree - a plainer saree but a saree none the less.

Culture

Culture is an odd one for me because I’ve never felt as if I belonged to either one. Growing up, I didn’t fit into the typical English stereotype because I wasn’t Caucasian and I grew up bilingual. I’d also hear all these bad things about Bangladesh, and the experiences others had around me would mould the opinion I had of a country my family still refer to as their motherland. But, as I’ve grown older and actually started to make opinions for myself, I’ve begun to accept that I can be a part of both, I don’t need to be one or the other.

Dating and Romance

In my family at least, ‘dating’ is done with the intention to marry. It all remains very chaste - with very little/no physical affection - until after marriage and almost all dates are with chaperones. The only ones that happen without chaperones are those in secret or those happening after the engagement. Nowadays, I feel like love marriages are the norm and most couples meet through being introduced by other people.

Food

Food is a big part of our culture. In fact, if you’re invited to someone’s house, or if you pop in for five minutes, it’s considered rude to not sit down and have a cup of tea or even to have an entire meal. Food is one of the ways that we show affection for each other and, especially for important days like Eid, food plays a central role. Eating a meal together on a festival day like Eid is one of the few days of the year when all the adults and all the children gather together and spend time together.

In my home at least, rice and curry is a staple. As Bangladesh is mainly riverine, fish is an important part of the diet. In fact, there’s a saying that if you can’t eat fish, you’re not really Bengali (which makes things a bit awkward for my uncle who is allergic to fish) and in some families there’s a tradition of a new bride cooking a fish curry on the second day of marriage. I’m not sure why, but it’s a thing.

Home/Family life/ Friendship

I could talk about family for ages …

My family is on the big side with my Mum being one of eight and my Dad being one of six. I’m one of three, but all of my cousins are considered like siblings - because we were raised as siblings. The familial bond is an important one and it’s often one that’s a burden to bear. For instance, as I’m the oldest granddaughter/niece/cousin I’m called affa by every cousin younger than me (Affa meaning older sister) and this burden is quite a heavy one to bear. It means that when the cousins experience any issues, they run to you to sort it out whether it’s something small or something big and it’s a burden I don’t mind shouldering. After all, it’s one I’ll likely have to carry for the rest of my life.

Everyone older than you is treated with respect - even if you don’t want to respect them at all. For some reason, it’s an important thing.

Friendship between Bengali girls is … something else. Often we’ll break off and have our own conversation in Bengali as if it’s some sort of secret code and this usually comes in extremely handy when discussing secret birthday party plans in front of the person whose birthday we’re planning. Personally, my parents have never been strict that I can’t have any male friends - I honestly don’t think they care but I know of other parents who insist that their daughters can’t have male friends.

Language

To me particularly, the language was an important thing. I grew up bilingual because my grandparents lived with us and they couldn’t communicate in English. But, I don’t remember ever making the effort to learn it - it was something I picked up. I certainly can’t read or write in Bengali but I can speak it. However, this ability doesn’t seem to have transferred to my sister and most of the younger cousins. Most of my younger cousins can’t speak Bengali and so struggle to communicate with our grandparents and it’s sad to say but this isn’t strange at all. Many of the new generation British Bangladeshi’s can’t speak the language and in fact, they don’t care to learn it because they don’t see it as being worth passing along.

Religion

As a Muslim woman, I find myself being constantly policed. Whether it’s by the media or by those around me. There seems to be a misconception that if a woman wears a hijab (the head covering) then she is the epitome of all things chaste and virtuous - but that’s not always the case. There are so many hijabis I know that don’t pray five times a day or keep their fasts or they drink etc. In fact, I’ve met a lot of muslim women who don’t wear hijab but their niyyah (intention) and their behaviour is inline with religion - my sister being an example.

The basic 5 pillars of islam, the first of which is the shahadah which is the declaration of faith. This is whispered by father’s into their children’s ears at birth and is the last thing whispered into someone’s ear as they pass away.

The daily prayers are the second - with 5 prayers throughout the day and this is something I know many people struggle with, but I personally think that faith is a personal thing - you alone know your struggles. If you are praying 5 times a day and you are ridiculing someone who only prays once, you may think you’re doing the right thing. But for all you know - that person who prays once a day may be someone who reverted to the faith (revert being what we call converts) and they may be on the road to accepting Islam. Your two minutes of ridicule may even turn someone else away from peace they were hoping to find in Islam.

Zakat is the third which refers to giving alms to the poor and this is often done in the month of Ramadan.

Fasting in Ramadan is the fourth pillar and during this month, Muslims fast from sun rise to sunset and we’re not allowed to drink or eat anything. (And yes - this includes water. Not even water? Is a question we always get)

The final pillar, the fifth refers to Hajj which is the yearly pilgrimage to Mecca. Everyone who is able to afford the trip and can make it, should complete it at least once in their lives. All my family who have been, have said that it is the most peaceful time they’ve ever spent in their lives.

Things I’d like to see less of…

Muslim girls being ‘repressed’ by wearing the hijab and having a curfew and being secretly rebellious once they leave the home.

Yes, I have a curfew but mostly it’s because my parent’s are terrified after hearing of all the stabbings and the acid attacks that happen to hijab wearing Muslim women

The overly strict father figure who is unreasonable and adores sons over his daughters.

My father was on the strict side yes, but I realise now, after growing up and talking to him that it was all shaped on his own experiences. Yes, he might not have let me play in the streets until late like other kids but it was because when he was young, if he stayed out too late the racist teens would approach the Bengali children and attack them. My father was strict, but in the way that other parents in his position will be. (If anything, my mother is stricter … and the worst thing she does is text me a list of chores that she wants me to do whilst she’s at work)

That brings me onto the next point; the mother who stays at home being uneducated and relying on her husband for everything.

There’s nothing wrong with that - but the issue comes when this character is used to put down Bengali women, to try and show how much better Caucasian educated women are.

Another thing I absolutely can’t stand is the idea of a Bengali girl falling for some plain, boring Caucasian boy and he removes the wool from over her eyes, teaching her how repressed she was and how she should embrace this Western lifestyle. When a boy tried that on me in my first year of uni, I walked away from him the moment he told me that he has a hijab kink because Muslim girls are and I quote ‘untouched and I can teach them everything’.

Things I’d like to see more of…

Supportive family units.

Whilst I might fall out with my parents every now and then, as is natural, they still support me. My father and I often head out for little ice cream cafe dates and my mother is teaching me to cook (although her cooking style tends to be put enough of this in and enough of that - there’s no measurements of anything) and my siblings and cousins and I gather as a whole every weekend. Those of us that live close enough to anyway. The 20+ of us that do gather, take over a house and all between the ages of 21 and 5 tend to be unruly and can go crazy but it’s a dynamic no one seems to want to represent.

The educated hijabi.

Goodness, I can’t stand seeing the trope of a girl wanting to marry and pop out babies and etc - yes, it’s a valid trope but again, so many people use it to show how backwards we are. My eyes are even rolling now - Bengali Muslim girls are amongst some of the most driven people I have met and this is usually because the older women in our families weren’t given these opportunities and most people instantly assume that we’re not going to get far.

Casual mentions of Islam - religion is a big part of a character.

But I hate it being a controversial thing especially since Islam literally translates to ‘peace gained through submission to Allah’ and newsflash, Allah is the arabic word for God. That’s it. Why can’t we have characters who have to be home before sunset because they need to pray? Or hijabis needing to go shopping for a new headscarf or even phrases like 'this top would be so cute if it weren’t see through’ or 'if only this dress was floor length and then I wouldn’t have to wear leggings with it. I hate having to wear leggings in the heat’. These are things I regularly say!

Wooow, this is long and I kind of ended up rambling. But I hope it helps someone!

Colin:

Thanks a lot, and also you do a beautiful job for emotional, psychological and non secular embodiment. And I believe what I actually love about our programs of companies that you just’re all in regards to the embodiment apply, and I’m like, Okay, now that you just’re there, let’s give it away to others, proper? So, in fact, this dialog is overdue and I’m glad we’re making it occur now.

Steph:

phrases that we’re undoubtedly I believe, now greater than ever on this, like working from this paradigm of Me to We and we to me,

Colin:

sure, sure. Yep.

Steph: And it I believe it’s simply bringing to the forefront a variety of issues for folks and so many various methods. I imply, there’s simply a lot occurring so many layers of stuff, however actually eager about Okay, like, every day, this isn’t nearly me, but additionally, how do I perceive myself higher?

Colin: Sure, sure, by means of the lens of we to write down that what’s actually inspiring is simply because the pandemic erupted, Saturn entered Aquarius, which is the mounted air signal most associated to group, collective consciousness and shared humanity. And I consider course, I don’t need to romanticize the pandemic, however I do consider that it’s one thing to, to make sense of that we’re now all dwelling by means of the identical expertise the world over by means of totally different areas and nuances and particulars. Completely. However we’re all confronted with the identical expertise without delay. And that basically, I believe, accelerated the meat away maturation course of. What do you suppose?

Steph: I do suppose that and I actually introduced this up. It’s within the forefront of my thoughts since you talked about this. I believe it was yesterday or the day earlier than on Instagram, this concept of self love loving your self. And also you introduced up this actually fascinating level, which was, and I suppose I’ll paraphrase and you’ll possibly go into just a little bit extra, however you realize what all people’s speaking about. You bought to like your self. First. You need to be that particular person for your self. And also you made a extremely fascinating level about the way it’s type of each proper? We type of and I like the way you’re very a lot within the each and so I don’t know,

Colin:

so have been you?

Steph: I used to be I believed that was an fascinating take as a result of I actually am reflecting how I personally really feel about issues. I’m like, Yeah, what do you do if you happen to’re it? You’re so low in that place along with your, how you are feeling about your self? Like, I imply, simply to say, hey, simply love your self,

Colin: Proper? Like and what does that even appear to be? And will or not it’s doable that the love that we obtain from others helps us declare self-love, proper, like, Thanks for watching as a result of it was for the total moon in Libra, which on the time that this airs could have been a month previously and I believe astrology actually has a gorgeous symbolism for each finish which is the Libra scales, and what the that means behind the scales is is that may we’ve got Aries dominated me in stunning concord with it with Libra roadway and Sure, we are able to. As a result of astrologically and in addition from the evidence-based analysis of relational theorists and scientific psychologists within the area, self-love and id is a relational expertise you can’t earn and develop self-love except you’re beloved and loving in direction of others. And that’s simply the best way it’s. and managing that that paradox and inhabiting the scales is the place we have to be going. As a result of there’s a time and a spot for Nicely, let’s learn to love your self in order that when different folks say I like you, you consider them. Mm-hmm. Proper. And completely, that must be there. However I believe on the increased consciousness and private development crowd, we’ve spent virtually just a little an excessive amount of time there. It’s like, okay, we get it. And now what, proper, and that’s the place I’m attempting to go inside my work is that we’ve had these transits we had Uranus in Aries, we’ve had the South node in Aries, we get it now what and are we not using our particular person competencies in self-love to increase the most effective of ourselves to others, I hope if we’re not, don’t name it non secular as a result of it’s only a extra manicured model of narcissism and I gained’t, I gained’t purchase it.

Steph: I similar to processing all the pieces you mentioned. I so admire the way you articulate issues as a result of I believe you’re the primary astrologer I’ve ever had on the podcast similar to,

Colin:

I’m honored by that.

Steph: I, I’m simply so glad that you just’re right here. I additionally, I imply, for individuals who began listening to this podcast actually 5 years in the past, they’re most likely like, and I’ve been very open about, hey, like issues change, I’m altering. I’m far more interested in all types of issues now than it was earlier than. And I believe that that’s so primary, first astrologer, quantity two, anyone who’s accomplished readings for me personally, and I simply actually love the way you specific issues. And I believe it’s very compelling. How you’re weaving in proper that this idea or these fields of evidence-based analysis of psychology of all these totally different fields after which type of processing it by means of the lens of astrology, making, making astrology much less, type of heteronormative on the similar time and like how did you so I’ve been dying to ask you this query.

Colin: And thanks for the type phrases I imply a lot since you have been such an informed lady and the truth that you resonate with my work means a terrific deal to me. So thanks. You’re welcome.

Steph: How did you come to doing this work on this means? And I do know all people has this you realize, a journey proper? It’s by no means simply an entry level. And right here you’re, however you realize, why begin to weave these items in as a result of I believe lots of people have this view of astrology of like, I open you realize the paper day-after-day and it’s acquired this little blurb about Pisces, and that’s, you realize, that’s what I learn about astrology, which is what lots of people that’s their solely introduction to astrology. So you realize, have defined to us how it’s that you just’ve come to do that work and why you’ve woven these threads into the material of what you do.

Colin:

Oh, wow. Okay, nice query. Nicely, I believe I’ll simply start by saying that there actually is just one fact spoken many various methods. Proper? And if different folks discover that true by means of extra evidence-based secular and scientific approaches have at it, proper, and if different folks discover it from a metaphysical, non secular, esoteric perspective, extra energy to you as properly, I believe I discovered a eager for the metaphysical pursuit. After I was in my actually 1213, early, early years, as a result of my mom spoke about astrology usually, and I simply beloved it. I used to be like, Wow, so that you inform me the celebs and the mythology and the affect and I simply ran with it. After which in my early 20s, I began studying the work of Dr. Renee Brown, and Harville Hendricks and Helen McCauley, Han, who’re theorists within the area of private development and relational psychologies, and I used to be actually astounded as a result of they have been saying a variety of the Form of values and practices that astrology was to. So I used to be joyful to merge these fields as a result of there is just one fact simply spoken many various methods. And I believe on the core, spirituality is simply the trail of the guts and the therapeutic of the thoughts. And I consider that psychological well being and therapeutic and scientific consultants within the area try to do the identical factor. So we shouldn’t be saying separate issues. Proper. That’s the best way I’ve all the time checked out it. And my mates of yours and Talia do it. They’re generally known as they’re nonetheless twins. I used to be studying their horoscopes earlier than I ever dreamed to be an astrologer within the early 2000s. And I used to be so impressed with the best way they’d say, hey, Gemini, the total moon in your relationship sector means you’re gonna find out about grownup attachment types. So right here’s this e book to be taught all about. And I used to be like, Wow, so have a look at that grounded, primarily based of exploring spirituality by means of psychology. I couldn’t get sufficient, proper. And as my work is progressing, I’m simply looking for the areas the place the quantified Analysis Strategies in astrology have to be up to date to mirror the accuracy of the literature in psychology and relational idea, as a result of I do consider that a few of it’s not working, which is why the widespread critique from a few of your listeners possibly, yeah, properly, I learn that astrology stuff. And it was actually reductive and fear-mongering and made me really feel disempowered. And that’s completely legitimate. Proper? In order that’s why I’m going again to the astrological literature and saying, properly, is that this actually true primarily based on what the researchers and the psychologists are saying? Perhaps not. Let’s replace it, which does get me into scorching water, however I don’t care. I don’t care. Proper, you already know as my good friend and colleague, I don’t write so properly. After which there are areas in psychology the place we additionally should say, look, we’ve by no means had extra entry to counseling and classes and psychology and all these sources and but, we’ve by no means been extra overmedicated having a psychological sickness. So if you happen to’re not accounting for the psyche and soul, you’re not alone. Holding the entire image both. In order that’s all the time been my consideration. However I simply really feel a deep psychological crucial to discover it. And I’m glad that individuals like you have an interest in listening to what I’ve to say. So thanks.

Steph: Nicely, I believe you, you present totally different, actually compelling and fascinating entry factors to merge these totally different worlds collectively, or to no less than get that entry level from a unique angle the place it might beforehand haven’t been accessible due to preconceived notions about what astrology is likely to be or its its limitations or you realize, that the simply the issues that individuals come to know and consider about it. I imply, what do you what do you see in your, in your expertise and speaking with the folks that you just do and being on the market doing the work is type of possibly among the greatest misunderstandings, proper query about what astrology is?

Colin:

Nice query. So I don’t consider that it determines our outcomes. I consider that as an astrologer who mentioned it and I forgot his title, however he mentioned that astrology is a alternative reveal or it’s on a alternative maker. So it’s only a map of the celebs and an brisk forecast. And we might select what we need to will we nonetheless have free will, and we are able to consider in astrology on the similar time. So I believe that’s essential. I consider that each single zodiac signal is suitable with each single zodiac signal. I don’t consider in back-compatibility in any respect. I consider that each considered one of us can improve our relational competency and be taught to get together with the remainder of the folks we have to get together with. And I don’t consider that sure zodiac indicators or energies have a monopoly on advantage. I believe all of them are particular. So none of them are particular. Proper? So it’s similar to, let’s guarantee that each considered one of us arrives a trip inside our astrological charts. And that means we are able to know that we’re doing the half that we have been assigned right here to do. In order that’s the place I investigated I believe that astrology might be very correct into predictive evaluation, proper, which might then assist us be public Paired. However I additionally suppose that we are able to take it too far there too and use astrology to take away uncertainty out of our expertise, proper? However we don’t need to try this we need to reside in religion and stroll with resilience and luxury within the unknown with these instruments so we could possibly be turned the folks have been able to being with others and answering the decision for the time a lot we love.

Steph: Yeah, I believe that’s so essential. You understand, I believe one of many issues about not simply astrology, however some other type of persona check, proper and like, Okay, I’m Myers Briggs, squarely infj. I imply, I’ve taken that check, a bajillion occasions. And each time it’s like, oh, you dummy. Why are you taking this quiz? You understand, you’re an INFJ like, there’s nothing to see right here. So all the pieces from that to I believe enneagram 9, my outcomes are often type of in all places with that, though I did are usually just a little bit extra this is not going to shock you. No As a result of you realize me, I’m a 3 for more often than not, which is the achiever.

Colin: Sure.

Steph: Hey. That’s my Capricorn proper and

Colin:

higher consider it!

Steph: The deep, deep, compassionate feeling.

Colin: The healer achiever. I find it irresistible. I acquired Capricorn Pisces Virgo in you. I find it irresistible.

Steph: Sure. So, you realize, I believe, simply as two examples, proper, we’ve got so many various persona exams. We have now so many various methods to grasp ourselves. And I believe that’s simply one of many deep, over-arching themes that humanity has this like this quest to grasp not solely ourselves but additionally different people and our position in all the pieces and why issues are the best way they’re. However, you realize, how would you I believe there’s some criticism, and it is a actually long-winded query, however I believe there’s some criticism about issues like realizing your astrological indicators or realizing you Your persona by means of Myers Briggs, or realizing your enneagram within the sense that it could actually change into deterministic.

Colin: Proper? Proper. Proper.

Steph: How do you reply to that? Like, how do you see these instruments, these persona exams? Or ways in which we are able to perceive ourselves?

Colin: Yeah, properly, I believe id is absolutely versatile. It’s not so static. So I believe that’s an inexpensive shot. I additionally suppose that’s what they are saying in a is named contempt earlier than investigation. Proper? So if you happen to haven’t actually investigated these programs and discovered how they wrap language round your id, after which what it means on your life, and I don’t actually need to hear your contempt, proper. However I additionally know that there’s a house maybe the place those that say properly as a result of I’m a Pisces on this or as a result of I’m a Gemini or Matt. And that’s probably not excessive minded astrology. That’s simply folks on the lookout for excuses to justify irresponsible habits and we’ve got no listening for that both. Proper? I believe that the richest side of astrology is that I can say two issues. As a result of I’ve seen your chart, I can inform you a really complete story of what your self-actualization might appear to be. And you’ll comply with the trail right here. After which you’ll unknowingly expertise circumstances, conditions, and occasions that serve your highest good and extra energy to you. However if you happen to don’t, we are able to cowl that too, and uncover the resistances that forestall you from expressing this story on earth as it’s within the heavens. Proper. After which you’ll reside in an area of a variety of thriller and religion. However additionally, you will have a variety of readability. And I believe that’s stunning that individuals can expertise each and other people have been utilizing religion and these programs for to weaponize certainty for eons. Proper. However I believe that we’re seeing now’s it’s actually only a template for attempting to precise the most effective of ourselves with out deterministic language after which additionally honoring free will and circumstances like COVID-19. Proper, the place it’s like I might learn my chart to kingdom come however what I imply in relationship to what we’re experiencing proper now. So we’ll by no means actually have completely unlocked the magical experiences in life recently and that’s a great factor. However astrology simply says okay, Collins Stephanie within the midst of this, let’s just be sure you are nonetheless honoring the most effective of your chart inspiring different folks to do the identical factor and in that house of collaborative risk you will get quite a bit sooner you possibly can work quite a bit sooner to get to the answer

Steph: How then, and these questions are simply coming to my mind

Colin:

and it Hey

Steph: How then will we maintain that grace for ourselves to say okay, like shits happening issues are simply occurring the inter Barry Did you simply hear that I’m occurring issues are Yeah, I acquired just a little bit Northeastern when

Colin: she does, I don’t I find it irresistible. I find it irresistible. And I all the time need to name you out on it however that it’s like actually Am I in any place to do this? No, go forward. Oh,

Steph: I do the identical factor with my husband. It’s known as mirroring, proper. Yeah. You understand, anyway. So, you realize, how do we’ve got grace for ourselves when shits happening? That we didn’t count on, proper? We have been on this trajectory. We’re engaged on issues with private growth with understanding ourselves on this planet, seeing the place our potentials lie, the place our limitations lie, we’re attempting to be a great particular person ship goes down. It’s it’s uncontrollable. It’s virtually out of our management. It’s very unknown and really unsure. What does astrology inform us about methods to deal with these occasions the place we simply really feel like, all the pieces’s a fucking mess. I do know, Oh, my gosh.

Colin: Nicely, there are such a lot of totally different points occurring proper now. That may assist us make sense of that the 2 that I need to concentrate on, should do with Venus in Gemini, proper Venus the planet of relational intelligence. And values within the signal having to do with paradox, proper as a result of Gemini have been twins, however they have been fraternal twins. In order that they weren’t of the identical. And so they use these relational variations as a useful resource. And I believe that one of many issues that we are able to use to make sense of the experiences similar to one within the Gemini mythology, a twin died and one other one lived on, however then they reunited. Proper? I believe what we’re gonna need to maintain in our minds and hearts all through this expertise is that each considered one of us are being confronted with imminent hazard and loss. And each considered one of us are being confronted with the visionary problem-solving abilities to create a tradition that’s life-sustaining, that may reside on and the opposite facet of this pandemic. So each are true. Each are true again to the each at evening you and I like a lot proper. After which the top of the Gemini story is that the twins reunited and constellations to allow them to shine above us for eternity. I believe we’re I believe we’re strolling there. However we acquired to actually ask ourselves, the place have I did simplistic both/or, the place have I not been paying consideration? The place have I had Solely listening for the issue and never the answer or the place have I had a listening for it, nothing unhealthy goes down as a result of I’m in crystals and rainbows and Lottie doll and each are true. So we’re creating these cognition and communication abilities in {our relationships} collectively, so we are able to stroll one another residence collectively, I believe after which the opposite side of astrology. That’s actually, I believe, a therapeutic agent for us now, and also you and I each have this check in our chart, so we are able to converse to it extensively, is Capricorn. And in simplistic evaluation of Capricorn they’re just like the CEOs the Miranda Priestley’s of astrology, proper, like Massive Boss, take no prisoners, and many others, and many others. However in a deeper degree, they only should do with emotional self-mastery. Proper? And I believe that what we need to ask ourselves is, how can we be emotionally self mastered in order that we are able to adapt to this extraordinary scenario in time, we are able to preserve impulse management and sobriety and intelligence and knowledge. We will honor once we’re completely emotionally overwhelmed and bone-tired however not, you realize, offload that onto others. After which we are able to additionally guarantee that we’re targeted on the imaginative and prescient of what’s doable, fairly than the circumstances of the earth. Ain’t it terrible? As a result of Capricorn vitality has no time for that. They’re like, Look, it’s midnight, it’s the 11th hour, nevertheless it’s not midnight but. So all people get-over your self as a result of we’re all going by means of this collectively, you and all people else. So let’s not get treasured right here. Proper? And that’s actually rise to the event inside our particular person hood, as a result of historical past is asking us to take action. And who do you need to be when you’re within the house of what’s occurring? Proper? Do you need to be energetic and triggered and you realize, simply unresponsive or do you need to go wow, that is loopy. What can I do about it? And who am I? Who can I be within the house of what’s occurring? So that will be what I believe astrology might make clear, there’s so some ways to discover that. However these are the 2 that I believe could possibly be probably the most useful.

Steph: Yeah, I believe that’s actually, I believe that’s actually useful for people who find themselves simply type of like, how do like what do I do? And, and transferring by means of the totally different phases. Sure, sure, I’ll do that. Yeah. As a result of it’s not it’s not going to be the identical a month from now as will probably be six months from now because it was three weeks in the past prefer it’s issues are so in flux and I actually love the way you discuss each and I believe it’s one of many issues that has caught with me probably the most from the very first time we sat down and talked and also you went by means of my natal chart and I used to be simply considering, Oh my gosh, and also you dropped so many nuggets of knowledge on me, however that’s one of many issues that has caught with me probably the most as a result of I believe it lastly clarified and gave language to a variety of it not simply the work that I do and I continually discover myself type of like I’m fascinated with the push-pull of so many issues in life.

Colin: Yeah

Steph: and but understanding of methods to you realize, whereas the Form of center floor the place we’re, we’re on the lookout for understanding from totally different views.

Colin: Sure. Lovely. And you realize what? Okay. I used to be gonna inform you that. Carl younger has mentioned that the paradox is the richest software to look at the human expertise as a result of it’s the one image that basically does justice to the authenticity of it. Sure. Simply to verify what you’re saying, Yeah,

Steph: go forward. The alternative of a terrific fact can also be true, which is a quote that I like. That’s Niels, that’s Niels Bohr. I, like scientists, who’re additionally actually involved in quantum the quantum realm and issues like that. I find it irresistible. It’s so loopy, however I believe you realize that each and perspective is without delay, so comforting, as a result of whenever you begin to broaden that view, you begin to see, oh, there’s so many various methods to grasp this case. There are such a lot of various things which might be illuminated on this time and but it may be actually disorienting as a result of, proper folks, that is simply I believe human nature, proper? We come to determine ourselves by both or.

Colin: Precisely proceed. Yep.

Steph: So how does? How like, how would you? How would you begin to tease that aside? You understand, how does one come to start out on the lookout for different views to be open to it? As a result of I really feel prefer it’s the there’s, there’s a little bit of a tough wall to get by means of generally of even being open to the chance.

Colin: Sure, sure. of the transition of what’s doable, proper. Yeah. Yeah, I do know. And I’m actually glad that you just talked about the alternative of each then which is both or, as a result of I believe even simply naming that in order that when, when folks know Oh, so once I’m on this or that both or a or b, sure or nobody or two, you realize, considering I’m really not accessing the wind internet, right. Proper now. It’s okay as a result of that’s what the tradition that trains us that we’re indoctrinated by desires us to do. So it’s okay. We’ve all been there, proper? I believe the best way that we begin to embrace the each finish is by initially fucking embracing vulnerability. Proper be as outlined by means of Dr. Bernays, Dr. Bernie Browns analysis has danger uncertainty, emotional publicity. And to be within the each finish and a spotlight of No, it’s this, it’s that and extra, proper is a really susceptible place to be. And other people love simplistic binary considering, the place, you realize, we might simply present them with that shortage of heroes. So we’ve got a proper to be mad at, right here’s who responsible. Right here’s why you’re utterly harmless. And that is what we’re going to do about it. I imply, we see it on a regular basis in politics and social justice actions, and it’s actually, actually, actually harmful. And what we’re seeing is that this rising atomization and recognizing that the middle can’t maintain, it simply can’t, proper and so, to actually wrap your head across the each finish and the not solely But in addition, you’re simply gonna need to know which you could’t get there with out paying a price of admission to the vulnerability police. And if you wish to, by all means it’ll be the best resolution you’ll ever make, proper? As a result of I’m positive you possibly can attest to these items. However the second you selected to be susceptible was the second you selected your energy. Sure.

Steph: Oh, completely. Yeah, completely. And it didn’t come simple. And I’m positive you’ve gotten sucker punched me too. Yeah. sucks, proper? However no less than I do know that I’m who I declare to be. And I don’t should toe the celebration strains to not piss different folks off and that I don’t belong to any faculty of thought or something. As a result of I belong to me initially, on the finish of the day, so do you. So will we all and that’s what permits me to navigate the each ends as a result of I didn’t I don’t should enroll in any false limiting binary, limiting constricting perception. I simply don’t should and neither does anyone else. That’s what I’d say about that. Nice query. I like that.

Steph: I like that. You understand, I forgot to inform the listener, our expensive listener, the primary time that I ever really noticed you.

Colin:

Oh, I hoped we have been gonna learn this off as a result of it says promote bananas. That’s a great story. So I I first, I believe discovered you on Instagram by means of Nygaard for nuni.

Steph: Yep. Fairly positive. Superb, superb human being. I began following you final 12 months. I believe it was final 12 months, most likely early a part of final 12 months. And I believe sooner or later, I imply, I simply beloved what you needed to say instantly and thought, thanks, Colin’s Superb, superb human doing superb issues on this planet. And I need to be his good friend. And I, you realize, I believe I put a few feedback right here and there in your Instagram anyway. So for the listener, probably the most loopy factor occurred. I used to be in New York final fall. Yeah, I got here to New York for visiting a magnificence counter occasion. I used to be going to Marie Forleo goes launch celebration for her e book, and I plan to satisfy up with a few mates of mine within the metropolis. One night I used to be taking my considered one of my mates again to Penn Station. Which if you happen to’ve been to Penn Station is massive, proper? It’s the most important place. I simply stored considering comply with the indicators and also you’ll be advantageous. I imply, I’m type of okay with that type of deal however I used to be you realize, if it’s not place you go day-after-day.

Colin: Oh, overlook it

Steph: I had I ended up on the new the brand new jersey railroad right here. So I used to be dropping Julie off. Hey, Julie. She listens to the present. I used to be buying at Amtrak. Yep. And I used to be gonna have to return to my lodge. She was going again to Maryland. So I circled, I begin I walked down the corridor, I’m going down the steps, and this human walks in entrance of me. And all I might see was the again of your head. And I simply thought is that this you know the way you will have these moments early is it It’s who it’s this him is that this Colin and I had that second the place I believed do I do I yell his title? Am I gonna appear to be a loopy particular person if it’s not him like a easy little film and I believed fuck it, I’m gonna do it. And so I used to be like name in. And also you had earbuds in son of a bitch.

Steph: And also you’re like, striding clearly, attempting to make it to the practice, proper? Such as you’re fairly tall, tall. Are you? six foot three. Okay, yeah, and I’m 5 foot three. My legs, my little legs are going proper. And I simply considered shedding him. But it surely was so fucking bizarre as a result of that is the half that journeys me out and I’ll by no means get much less tripped out by this type of factor. of I take into consideration all of the little selections I needed to make, oh my god. You needed to make to be there at that actual second and also you actually walked in entrance of me.

Colin: Jesus Christ, within the metropolis of Manhattan of all locations,

Steph: there’s tens of millions of individuals. I imply, come on, what!

Colin: Are the chances on that’s bananas? I’m so mad that it’d, I don’t know. Livid rush to get on the practice. I gained’t get a pension. Hello. I like you whenever you messaged me on Instagram and mentioned, I’m sorry, bizarre query. Are you in Penn Station proper now? I used to be like, What the fuck? After which, as quickly as that occurred, the doorways closed and my practice was transferring. Left and been like, the place are you?

Steph: I ended. I ended to purchase a cupcake. Oh, rattling it.

Colin: Okay, get a compensation stuff. In order that’s what I get for not paying consideration. However that basically is bananas. And I’ll inform you that occurs in New York on a regular basis. It’s a giant small city. Make no mistake. It’s only a large small city. It’s It’s loopy. So

Steph: yeah, I did. I nonetheless find it irresistible. And I believe I mentioned one thing and I don’t suppose I do on the time that you’re a twin. Sure. And I mentioned one thing like I don’t know when you have a it was you or your twin or one thing and your twin really is just not a man however I simply I used to be like, is that your twin? Or did I simply see you in Penn Station and whenever you wrote again and mentioned it was you I used to be like, what is going on proper now?

It’s like the everyday New York meet cute however you’re not really assembly. I do know.

Colin: Damnit, sure, there, there are issues occurring really, on the third week of April. So it’ll be the start of vacationer season the solar and Taurus on Earth Day, which is an earth signal that first are assigned, we’ve got an astrology. And it has to do with issues of private safety. Proper. And so usually whenever you examine Taurus vitality, the dialog is relegated to monetary safety and monetary freedom, proper. However the true knowledge of Taurus vitality and the safety that they attain has to do with a life that’s knowledgeable by a clarification of values and the protection that’s given when you realize that you’re the particular person you declare to be. And all the pieces that you just profess, you apply and you reside in to your values. So what I need your listeners to contemplate is what are the 2 to a few values that they maintain of their hearts above all else, as most essential, and the rationale why I’m saying two or three is as a result of when you have something greater than three, you don’t even actually have priorities. You simply have like a laundry listing of feel-good phrases for Instagram, proper? However two to a few values. That’s it after which evaluation on The extent of habits, what your habits does to mirror that these values are lived into. And what occurs on the finish of vacationer season is we are able to take inventory on our life and say, You understand what, each single resolution I wanted to made to wanted to make was knowledgeable by these values. And now each lane of my life is in stunning integrity. And I put my head on my pillow each evening realizing I’m the fucking bitch, I declare to base so nobody can contact me. And that’s the place I need your listeners to be is to actually evaluation what are my values? And are they situationally primarily based? Or are they selections that they’ll make personally proper? Like, simply earlier than I known as you I had a studying with the shopper, and she or he had a I used to be achievement as a worth. And whereas I like the motivation and the wholesome striving that’s really not that’s situationally primarily based, proper? As a result of so what if you happen to don’t obtain The place are you? down for the depend? Proper? So we selected magnificence and justice as an alternative, proper, as a result of she will make issues stunning and she or he might be simply wherever she is. No matter. She’s doing wherever she’s going. And that’s what I’d need your listeners to consider. I hope that made sense. However yeah,

Steph: It completely did. Yeah. And I believe you realize, particularly when large issues occur in large shifts occur is is even coming again round proper and reassessing your, these high three values for what life is like proper now. I imply, what you have been doing 10 years in the past won’t be occurring in the intervening time. So

Colin: yeah, proper. And modifying that usually is an excellent concept. Thanks for mentioning that as a result of we do undergo very totally different values primarily based on our personhood, our skilled circumstances, monetary relational, proper? So simply taking inventory and saying, properly, how’s this understanding for me to date? Proper. How’s this work and, after which we are able to actually decide what the worth is that we have to align with to have higher outcomes as a result of the outcomes are the final word guru and Taurus safety actually exhibits the individuals who stroll their discuss shortly. Yeah,

Steph: So good. All proper, inform folks the place they need to get. Okay, so, to begin with I need to write I’m gonna brag on you, however first, okay, your Instagram TV clips and the movies you place collectively are you will have a present as a result of I don’t understand how you’re so succinct and to the purpose and really highly effective.

You do an extremely skillful job at placing quite a bit into a short while body after which letting folks type of digest it and tease it aside at it.

Hey there, its been awhile since I have actually written and posted something. Opened tumblr and held my fingers over the keyboard - plenty of times. I do not know why I stopped writing, I guess I could no longer put into words the confusion, frustration and pain that has predominantly shadowed my life. Not to say that every day was gloomy, but looking back there were quite a few rock bottoms I am surprised I managed to pull out of.

“when i hit the rock bottom that exists after the rock bottom and no rope or hand appeared i wondered what if nothing wants me because i do not want me - i am both the poison and the antidote” - Rupi Kaur

Nonetheless, we do not look back, we focus on the present and embrace what it will propel us to in the future. As Albert Camus once said, “real generosity toward the future consists in giving all to what is present.”

So let me tell you about the now. I have joined the wave of “spirituality” and “yoga/meditation” if you will. To be honest, I do more that just share and post quotes on my instagram! It all started with a book. The 12 Rules: The Antidote to Chaos by J Peterson, a Canadian psychologist professor. Despite the controversial theories and speculation he presents during his interviews, I found his book to be intellectually stimulating. How he eloquently weaved politics, culture, religion, history into one paragraph in order to demonstrate a simple point as: be precise with your speech. Which has been one of the many recurring topics in the subsequent books I've read when it comes to mindfulness and awareness. Luis Muniz´s The Four Agreements has the first agreement “to be impeccable with your words.” The Four Agreements, although enlightening and straightforward, was not as intellectually stimulating, but then again I have a “knack” for history being used to demonstrate a point in modern day situations.

I have read plenty of books on self-awareness, mindfulness and spirituality. I still do. Some of the main benefits of reading about the same topic in different books are: you keep reading the same advice and practices but through different writing styles, methods of approach until it sinks in your mind. It takes 21 days to replace a habit so keep reading and keep applying what you read!

“You sow a thought, you reap an action. Reap an action, you sow a habit. Sow a habit, you reap a character. Sow a character, you reap your destiny” - Robin Sharma

As Robin Sharama wrote in “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari:” some books are meant to be tasted, chewed and some swallowed whole. To get the most out of a great book, you must study it, not just read it.”

By now, anyone who knows me might be shocked that I would read any genre but fiction. Or even quote or dare explore spirituality. But that is the beauty of being human, the ability to step out of our bodies, out of our conscious and analyse our thoughts and actions. To determine if there is congruency in our thoughts, minds, actions and energy. Simply put, i began meditating. I wanted to explore myself, understand who I am and what I am about. My conclusion? I am a pretty awesome woman! It was not an easy journey to begin to love myself simply because I did not even know that I did not love myself. It is all in the lack of congruency of ourselves that we begin to notice. To try and explain in a real life example, I would go to events or dinners that would drain my energy and cause me to be irritated which would in turn lead me to take it out on someone near me. Firstly, I did not respect myself enough to say “no” to doing something that would drain my energy. Secondly, I did not have self mastery, or control over my emotions, the ability to recognise that I was irritated and why. Thirdly, the act of passing the negative energy to people around me when they had no fault. The moment you make a decision on what you allow to affect you, how you respond to this negative action and how you choose to digest it, your life changes consequently.

The above example was one of thousands I have began to explore and rectify. Do not be fooled, it is a never ending task. We should always strive to improve ourselves, to compete with ourselves to be a better person than we were yesterday (kaizen). My latest challenge in my journey was to build a home in myself, not in a boyfriend or a close friend. Be my own home. Seems simple enough, right? Nope! Not at all ! I doubt myself all the time, not to mention my judgement. Which lead me to realise that if I do not even trust myself, how can I trust others or have others trust me? And just like that, I realised congruency was a more far fetched notion when it came to a whole Samantha. My meditation is now focused on exploring my mind, my emotions, my body and above all, my spirituality that brings it all together. What enables me to find my dharma (Life´s purpose).

I am currently sitting in my office as I write this and have tears of joy that I have managed to find the courage in me to write again. To not be ashamed of experience and emotions but rather embrace it as it has made me the woman I am today. This everlasting journey of mine, my kaizen.

To wrap up 2018, I will leave you with Rupi Kaur´s words:

it has been one of the greatest and most difficult years of my life. i learned everything is temporary. moments. feelings. people. flowers. i learned love is about giving. everything. and letting it hurt. i learned vulnerability is always the right choice because it is easy to be cold in a world that makes it so very difficult to remain soft. i learned all things come in twos. life and death. pain and joy. salt and sugar. me and you. it is the balance of the universe. it has been the year of hurting so bad but living so good. making friends out of strangers. making strangers out of friends. (The Sun & Her Flowers)

Namaste

Enjoy the Failures

Doesn’t that sound strange, “enjoy your failures”? Succeed, win, achieve, that is the anthem that has rung in our ears since we were young; shunning failure and perceiving it to be the ugly stepchild. Of course, we all want to succeed in life, and success is a beautiful place to be, but sometimes we need a little failure in our lives. Allow me to explain, failure presents the opportunity for knowledge to be gained, it gives way for discovery. Failure is a fuel to ignite thorough thought. I am solely speaking on my own experience, but when a problem presents itself and resolve is immediately required, there is no need to invest any additional energy into that single issue. Unaware of the potentially more prosperous applications that could have resolved that same matter. Even though possibilities are endless, sometimes we cut ourselves short because something has worked.

Are there areas in your life that work, but you still feel there is something missing? Or rather does life seem to be working and while life is working, you are in autopilot? I know you have caught yourself daydreaming while you were driving and before you know it, you were pulling up in your driveway like…” I don’t know how I got here” …confused and thankful that Jesus took the wheel (LOL). Unconsciously is how most of us, as human beings, live for several reasons. One reason seems to be a fear of failure. We have been trained and raised to cultivate societal standards, capture surety, and to cherish security; which is a false sense in and of itself, but that is a different conversation. In this western society, we are fed daily; since birth to follow a path that worked for someone else—go to school, compete to be the best, go to the best colleges and get a great education, find a job that provides a competitive salary and outstanding benefits, work hard within that industry and work your way to the top. I am not against education and I am not against working for someone in or outside of corporate America until you are 65 years old, it just seems that someone thought of a path and the masses followed. Because what alternatives were you exposed to—maybe the military or work in a minimum wage job and live a minimal lifestyle? There is absolutely nothing wrong with you making those decisions too as long as YOU actually made the decisions for yourself, and not simply accepting the path because you were trained to ‘choose one of the following.’ You must realize you have a choice to choose the path and the outcome of your existence. Live the life you desire, whichever path your purpose offers you, trek forward with confidence knowing that you have no idea what lies ahead but whatever it is, it is worth it. Within the vicinity of purpose, fear has no place. However, failure is necessary for the growth and maturity that potentially awaits its end.

The association of fear and failure seem to walk hand and hand in the shadowy corners of our minds. The misconception of this seemingly unbreakable relationship between the two is solely imposed upon us due to miseducation (thank you Lauryn Hill—lol). Mark Frankel, a US philosopher, tackles the initial barrier surrounding the study of fear saying— “The study of fear and the other emotions is not the preserve of psychotherapists or professors of philosophy. Rather it is done by any thoughtful person who meditates upon his or her own feelings, thoughts and actions”. It is for those of us who want to dismiss fear, delight in failure, and denounce falsehoods to begin to study the why behind the what. Why do I fear failure? Who taught me to fear failure? Why do I possess an objective perspective upon failure? We must begin to think for ourselves, actively creating the world we desire—starting with our perspectives. When we change our perspectives, we change our lives. Therefore, I choose to enjoy the failures in life, and show gratitude for the opportunity to think wiser, more thorough thoughts. The growth received from that opportunity birthed through failure is infinite in its applicability. Consistently challenging yourself in thought increases your own standard of logic. Developing a desire to concentrate your energy to think beyond social normality and fed knowledge, and apply that to any opportunity life may bring. Conscious behavior, such as facing the truth of fear and embracing the opportunities of failures, can become active in our lives with a desired awareness, adequate education, and constant applied mental effort. “We must begin to focus on making ourselves better and not just thinking that we are” (Bohdi Sanders, The Secrets of Worldly Wisdom: Your Key to Unlocking Success).

Whether we realize it or not, we all are looking for more in our lives—more power, more will, more of something! Some of us ignore that desire, some passively begin to ponder, and others search for resources that will help us gain that power. Most times we may see someone who has attributes that we do not display in our daily lives nor in our occasional discoveries of character or abilities, and we begin to desire that which we see in someone else. Beyond desire, we may perceive ourselves as less because we do not see in ourselves that light we see in others. Again, miseducation has shown its face; Nisargadatta Maharaj provided clarity so well when he stated, “All you need is already within you, only you must approach yourself with reverence and love. Self-condemnation and self-distrust are grievous errors.” Therefore, it is not a lack of possession that is present, rather a lack of awareness and activity. In this comprehension, it becomes evident that if we change our perspectives we change our lives. If I recognize, reverence and love the energy, the life force—Spirit who lives within me, I overstand it is not a matter of acquiring a power or trait but activating that dormant ability. It is not our ability in our flesh but the life force within that leads us and shows us who we are. We all can decide how we view failure, with fear or faith. In my own work, I have found the first area of power that must become active within us is the power of perspective.

Friedrich Nietzsche said, “There are no facts, only interpretations.” Our interpretations are shaped by our experiences and our experiences by our emotions and our emotions arise through choice. What decision do you choose to make regarding activating the power of your perspective? Anyone can practice conscious decision making, at any point of the day. Daily practice is necessary, when someone cuts you off in traffic STOP and think, what decision do I want to make in this situation? And begin to think of the benefits and blockages that may occur; what good will rise from this situation? What am I accomplishing with this decision? Are you focused on making yourself better? We must begin to think consciously and not impulsively. Notice when you are about to do something habitual, stop in that moment and intentionally make a conscious decision to accomplish the same task using a different method. Begin to evaluate the things you refuse to try because of a fear you would fail or it would not be accepted by society. Whether it is a change of hairstyle, trying a different style of clothing, starting those in-home workouts you pinned to your Pinterest health and fitness board, whatever! Just go for it, because you can only live today. We do not worry about, ‘what if I don’t keep it up next week?’ We only do today, “Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble” (Matthew 6:34 NKJV)

I would like to share a story with you all:

During a research experiment a marine biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small bait fish into the tank.

As you would expect, the shark quickly swam around the tank, attacked and ate the smaller fish. The marine biologist then inserted a strong piece of clear fiberglass into the tank, creating two separate partitions. She then put the shark on one side of the fiberglass and a new set of bait fish on the other.

Again, the shark quickly attacked. This time, however, the shark slammed into the fiberglass divider and bounced off. Undeterred, the shark kept repeating this behavior every few minutes to no avail. Meanwhile, the bait fish swam around unharmed in the second partition. Eventually, about an hour into the experiment, the shark gave up.

This experiment was repeated several dozen times over the next few weeks. Each time, the shark got less aggressive and made fewer attempts to attack the bait fish, until eventually the shark got tired of hitting the fiberglass divider and simply stopped attacking altogether.

The marine biologist then removed the fiberglass divider, but the shark didn’t attack. The shark was trained to believe a barrier existed between it and the bait fish, so the bait fish swam wherever they wished, free from harm.

The moral: Many of us, after experiencing setbacks and failures, emotionally give up and stop trying. Like the shark in the story, we believe that because we were unsuccessful in the past, we will always be unsuccessful. In other words, we continue to see a barrier in our heads, even when no ‘real’ barrier exists between where we are and where we want to go.

(http://www.marcandangel.com/2013/05/21/4-short-stories-change-the-way-you-think/)

Just like this shark some of us have stayed contained because of life’s failures, we must grow in patience and thought. We must learn to let go of what has kept us from trying, embracing failure can be as easy or as hard as you make it. A great quote by Henry Ford states, “whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” Acceptance of failure causes one to face, evaluate, and eliminate fear and doubt. Therefore, the question to yourself would be, ‘are you ready to face your fears’? Facing your fears engenders truth—truth of who you are, truth of your desires, truth of your endurance, flaws and strengths. This path of truth is not for the faint of heart, it’s not given to the swift nor the strong but if you endure…welcome to freedom.

Be love,

Ma’Kedia

Press Release:

No matter how deeply I searched within myself, I could never find anything resembling a center, much less any kind of truth. From the time I was a child, the only thing I knew for sure was that there was a vast emptiness there. If anything, things like truth, values and ideas, existed outside my body, and like clothes, I was free to change them whenever I liked. This concept made a lot more sense to me than anything else.

from Ego Obscura

The Hara Museum of Contemporary Art is proud to present Yasumasa Morimura: Ego Obscura, Tokyo 2020. In his acclaimed photographic self-portraits, Morimura re-enacts famous paintings, movies and moments in history, injecting himself as the protagonist. By reincarnating himself through the skillful use of makeup and costume, he transcends the time, race and gender of the subject while imbuing it with a meta-commentary uniquely his own. Making a splash in 1985 with his debut work Portrait (Van Gogh), Morimura has persistently explored the theme of the “self” through his photographic works, and more recently through self-produced, -scripted and -acted video works and live performances.

This exhibition comes on the heels of Morimura’s highly successful Yasumasa Morimura: Ego Obscura held last year at the Japan Society in New York. For this Tokyo version, he has rearranged his video work entitled Ego Obscura, which, along with a lecture performance, comprises the centerpiece of the show. In the video, Morimura appears as Emperor Hirohito, General Douglas MacArthur, Marilyn Monroe and Yukio Mishima – iconic figures that are deeply etched into the collective memory of the Japanese people. Born in Osaka in 1951 during the post-war occupation by the Allied Forces, Morimura was educated at a time when the country’s pre-war teachings had been rejected and the resulting “void” infiltrated by Western values. This experience led him to see truth, values and ideas as things that “reside outside the body,” which like clothes could be “freely changed” at will (quoted from Ego Obscura).[1]

For over 30 years, Morimura has injected himself into the history of Western art. What ideas did he embrace as he went beyond notions of race and gender? Those ideas, which form the background from which his works were born, are given voice in the exhibition’s titular video work Ego Obscura, which engendered a strong response in New York. They are encompassed in the title “Ego Obscura,” an unfamiliar word that Morimura uses to refer to what he describes as “an ambiguous ego wrapped in darkness.” In 2020, the year of the Tokyo Olympics fifty-five years after the first Olympics which symbolized the country’s postwar revival, in self-portraits imbued with complex feelings towards a motherland that go beyond mere affection, Morimura directs the question “what is the “self” ?” not only to us, but to the nation of Japan itself as well.

Highlights of the Exhibition 1. Ego Obscura, Tokyo 2020 Lecture Performance Morimura will give a lecture performance of his work Ego Obscura, Tokyo 2020. Dates: January 25 (Sat.), 26 (Sun.), February 22 (Sat.), 23 (Sun.), March 20 (Friday/national holiday), 21 (Sat.), April 12 (Sun.) Time: 16:00 – 17:00 *Performance will be held in Japanese only. *Reservations required. Free with museum admission. Details will be posted on the museum website.

2. Yasumasa Morimura and the Hara Museum

Morimura’s previous exhibitions at the Hara Museum include Rembrandt’s Room (1994), which delves deeply into the “self” using as his theme the great 17th century painter from the Netherlands and the light and dark aspects of his life, and Morimura Self-Portraits: An Inner Dialogue with Frida Kahlo (2001), which presents the life, loves and death of the great 20th-century Mexican artist Frida Kahlo through festively rendered images. Another work, Rondo, is a unique permanent installation that Morimura made using one of the building’s toilets in 1994. While undergoing occasional changes in clothing, Rondo stands as one of the museum’s defining trademarks.

3. Morimura to Juxtapose His Famous Early Work Portrait (Futago) born of Manet’s Olympia with His New Work Une moderne Olympia 2018

Morimura’s famous Portrait (Futago) (1988) which he created early in his career, takes as its subject Edouard Manet’s Olympia (1865), a work that changed the course of modern painting. In it, Morimura, a person of the so-called “yellow race” and of the male gender, assumes the roles of both the white prostitute and black servant painted by Manet. Now, thirty years later, Morimura has unveiled his most recent work, Une moderne Olympia 2018, in which the figure whose nakedness is exposed to the public gaze looks back with a gaze even more intense. Here, the young prostitute has been changed into a geisha reminiscent of Madame Butterfly and the black servant into a Western male reminiscent of Pinkerton. The exhibition features a new work by Morimura based on Manet’s other masterpiece made late in his career, A Bar at the Folies-Bergère. We invite you to view Morimura’s presentation of these various protagonists and the complex interaction that arises between them.

Yasumasa Morimura

Born 1951 in Osaka, where he continues to live and work. Completed undergraduate and graduate degrees at Kyoto City University of Arts. He made his debut in 1985 with self-portrait works based on his personal interpretation of Vincent Van Gogh. He has since produced a number of self-portraits in elaborated staged photographic and video works, with himself incarnated as art-historical images, famous film actresses and iconic figures from the 20th century.

In 1988, Morimura was invited to take part in the Aperto section of the 43rd Venice Biennale. In the years since, he has participated in countless important exhibitions both in Japan and abroad. He draws his main themes from famous paintings by such iconic artists as Van Gogh, Velázquez, Goya, Vermeer and Frida Kahlo, as well as images from movies and other forms of pop culture and mass media, as seen in his Requiem series. Not only does he grapple with the issues of identity and gender in these images, Morimura uses them as meta-commentaries that posit questions to himself and to his audience, about the role of painting and photography as forms of media.

His solo exhibitions include The Sickness unto Beauty: Self-portrait as Actress (Yokohama Museum of Art, Yokohama, 1996), Self-Portrait as Art History (Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo and two other venues, 1998), Morimura Self-Portraits: An Inner Dialogue with Frida Kahlo (Hara Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, 2001), A Requiem: Art on Top of the Battlefield (Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo and other venues, 2010), Yasumasa Morimura: Theater of the Self (The Andy Warhol Museum, Pittsburgh, 2013), The Self-Portraits of YASUMASA MORIMURA: My Art, My Story, My Art History (National Museum of Art, Osaka, 2016), Yasumasa Morimura. The history of the self-portrait (The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow, 2017) and Yasumasa Morimura: Ego Obscura (Japan Society, New York, 2018).

In 2014, he was the artistic director of Yokohama Triennale.

In 2018, Morimura performed Yasumasa Morimura: Nippon Cha Cha Cha! at the Pompidou Metz (Metz, France), Minato City Gender Equality Center’s Libra Hall (Tokyo) and the Japan Society (New York).

In 2018, the Morimura @ Museum was opened in Kitakagaya, Osaka.

His publications include Self-Portrait as Actress: Yasumasa Morimura, Nigensha Co., Ltd, 2010; Manebu Art History (imitating art history), Akaaka Art Publishing Inc., 2010; Taidan Nanimonokaheno Requiem/20 Seiki wo Shikosuru (conversations about requiem/considering the 20th century), Iwanami Shoten Publishers, 2011; Bijutsu, Otoseyo (art, respond!), Chikumashobo Ltd., 2014 and Jigazo no Yukue (the whereabouts of self-portrait), Kobunsha Co., Ltd., 2019.

He has received a number of awards for his achievements, including the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology’s Art Encouragement Prize of Fine Arts (2007), 52th Mainichi Art Prize (2011), Photographic Society of Japan Award (2011) and also one of the most prestigious awards in the field of art and science, the Order of Purple Ribbon (2011).

When I dream, I remember the sweet things you’ve said to me. With every breath I take, I think about you. Good morning, love.” 72. “I woke up this morning in a sweat. It’s not because the morning was too hot, but because my dreams about you last night were sweltering. I miss you, handsome. Good morning!” 73. “As the sun peeps through the curtains, it spies us wrapped up in each other’s arms. Good morning! Xoxo” 74. “I can’t wait to see you today. I’m counting down the minutes until I can see your face.” 75. “Every morning I’m filled with delight that’s just as radiant as the sunlight. Do you know why? Because I get the chance to tell you just how much I truly love you. I wish you a good morning, my love.” 76. “Just thinking of your love gives me tickling sensations. The thought of your sweet embrace is more joyful than a lifetime of ecstasy. Good morning!” 77. “So….what color boxers are you going to wear today?” 78. “Good morning babe. I’ve got a special surprise for you later.” 79. “I was freezing this morning, and the thought of you made me hot.” 80. “I wish your strong arms were around me right now.”

Good Morning MSG

81. “Knock, knock. Guess who brought coffee and breakfast? Come downstairs and meet me at the door.” (Don’t forget to bring coffee and breakfast when sending this message!) 82. “I hear the pitter-patter of the morning rain, but it really doesn’t matter if the skies are gray. As long we are together, it’s a lovely day.” 83. “I try to live in the present, but I can’t help but dream about our past and future; the beautiful memories we’ve created, and the happy times that have yet to come.” 84. “Life is an open book that’s yet to be written.

I feel great, but I feel even greater when I am with you. We are meant to be forever. Good morning, my sweet.” 87. “We all need a little jolt in the morning to get our day started. Come downstairs, and I’ll give you that jolt you need. Oh, and I made coffee, too.” 88. “Hey, handsome! It’s time to get up, drink your coffee, eat some breakfast and brush your teeth. Your reward? A big kiss from me!” 89. “I don’t think you know how great it is to wake up each morning knowing that you are mine, and I am yours.” 90. “You are the only person in front of whom I can be ME because you are the only person who loves me for what I am and not what I can BE. Good morning.” 91. “Happiness is just one part of our journey, as husband and wife. Unconditional love and undying commitment is what makes ours a perfect married life. Good morning.” 92. “We didn’t have just intertwined fates; we are entangled at the core like soul mates. We are not just husband and wife; we are also best friends for life. Good morning.” 93. “If I had the chance to live my life again, I wouldn’t want to change a single thing. Even rough times have left sweet memories because I’ve gone through them with you.
