Doing human incarnation right requires an ability to play many roles and accept multiple identities. The life of a woman may require her to play child, adolescent, adult, elder, daughter, sister, lover, mother, grandmother, student, professional, home maker, etc. Even in the course of a single day you may be required to play several roles and work from multiple identities. Often we may experience a larger archetypal identity within — hero, sage, prophet, etc., while in the outer world we are perceived as something much smaller. I may be a legend in my own mind, but to the outer world I might be a middle-aged guy working on an eccentric website. Usually we are the star of our movie, but since other people tend to be the stars of their movies, we may show up in their reality as an extra helping to fill in a crowd scene. We live in a society that celebrates and rewards certain things — the ability to skillfully manipulate a stock portfolio or to chuck a football, for example — but is notoriously deficient in recognizing other abilities such as empathy, individuation and many creative talents. Mutants are likely to feel a sometimes painful tension between their own sense of themselves and the roles they have to play in the world. <\/p>\n

“All the world’s a stage,
\nAnd all the men and women merely players;
\nThey have their exits and their entrances;
\nAnd one man in his time plays many parts,
\nHis acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
\nMewling and puking in the nurse’s arms;
\nThen the whining school-boy, with his satchel
\nAnd shining morning face, creeping like snail
\nUnwillingly to school. And then the lover,
\nSighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
\nMade to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
\nFull of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
\nJealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
\nSeeking the bubble reputation
\nEven in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
\nIn fair round belly with good capon lin’d,
\nWith eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
\nFull of wise saws and modern instances;
\nAnd so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
\nInto the lean and slipper’d pantaloon,
\nWith spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
\nHis youthful hose, well sav’d, a world too wide
\nFor his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
\nTurning again toward childish treble, pipes
\nAnd whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
\nThat ends this strange eventful history,
\nIs second childishness and mere oblivion;
\nSans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.”
