How am I not myself?

I have been looking forward to seeing I heart Huckabies since I saw its preview as a coming attraction for Garden State. I finally watched it today.
Follow your bliss...not what the content of the movie makes me think of, just the fact that I wanted to see it knowing that it would fall under the more clearly developing genre? I follow.
The Wild Hope conference was good. Made me think of following my bliss...how this IS my vocation in life. And THIS is my vocation. Right now. I am constantly preparing myself for what my bliss may lead me to next.
So the movie. Yes. As good as what I expected.
A point I raised at the conference was about how typical it is of every generation to feel that big change is looming in the air and theirs will be the generation to see/develop it. Recognizing this is not quite falling victim to it, yet is, in the recognition...but one of many wise and inquisitive souls i interacted with this Saturday offered a reply that yes, big change can/does/will happen for generations. Act.
Anyway, the movie...strikes a chord because a mainstream movie was made about the change in view I think is taking place within my generation. So it will continue.
Content of the movie? among much: the need for a synthesis of opposing philosophies to show that the two are only fractions of the truth and together can accomplish much more to evolve human understanding and approach to existence...I did a little justice, perhaps.
One philosophy was definitely favored by the producer. I lean this way too. It seems more holistic in itself. Going to check out the website now...
