I Am Not a Class

"I am not a class."

That simple realization is one of the most deeply aware reflections a person can reach.It strikes at the very root of how modern society misfires, how conflicts brew, how misunderstanding becomes systemic.

I am not a class.

I am a human being with choices, experiences, attributes, and values that move freely across the multitude of artificial boundaries.

That’s the real condition of being human — not a cold, frozen label like “working class” or “upper class.”

No thank you.

Yet we live in a world that constantly tries to force us into these labels, to categorize us based on external appearances: our job titles, our incomes, our possessions — unspoken class divisions we are pushed, pulled, or gravitate towards.But none of that truly captures who we are.

Identity Is Not a Container

Society treats identity like a container — from ceramic to porcelain, a fixed shape you’re supposed to pour yourself into and stay inside.

Working class, middle class, upper middle class, wealthy elite — pick one, and live by its rules.

But identity isn’t a container.

It’s motion.

A dynamic and diverse flow of experiences and choices that don’t obey the static categories society demands.

I can run my businesses, own my home, invest if I want to — yet I also value working with my hands, doing the heavy lifting, even when I don’t have to. I can face uncertainty and engage directly with life at its most basic and human levels.

I don’t fit in a container, and neither do you.

Class Systems Are Projections, Not Realities

Class systems are not realities — they are projections.They are externally imposed guesses about people’s inner worlds based on visible cues like wealth, education, or job type.

You could meet a billionaire who is deeply peaceful, generous, and spiritually awake.

You could meet a carpenter who is bitter, lost, and angry.

Or the reverse.

Class doesn't capture the soul, not even close.It captures a snapshot of circumstances, often inaccurately. We live far richer and more nuanced lives than any label could suggest.

Choice Breaks the Illusion of Class

One of the personal examples for me is my choice not to actively participate in investment strategies, like stocks and crypto.

It’s not resistance, fear, or ignorance.

It’s simply that for me, aside from a disagreement I have with these ideologically (that’s for another time), adding one more system to monitor and manage feels like another layer of distraction — something that pulls me away from the life I want to live more directly, more presently.

By the usual social standards — owning businesses, property, having a degree of financial stability — it’s almost expected that I would naturally participate in these investment systems and strategies, but I don’t.

That expectation arises from the class I am perceived to occupy.

I choose differently — not because there’s anything wrong with investing (it’s great that others find meaning and opportunity in it), but because for me, it doesn't align with how I want to experience and shape my life.

The conflict, when it arises, isn't about the validity of investments themselves.

It’s about the confusion others sometimes feel when someone they perceive as a contemporary in their "class" rejects activities that seem like the logical next step.

But that’s the real beauty of choice:

It breaks the illusion of class. It reminds us that living authentically doesn’t always follow the patterns others expect — it follows the inner architecture of what genuinely works for us, and that architecture is our most valuable asset.

Within it lies our peace and freedom.

Perception Through Class Is the Root of Division

We don’t just box ourselves in — we box each other in and out.

When we perceive others through the lens of class, we automatically distort them:

Working class? Must be struggling, simple, or pure.

Wealthy? Must be disconnected, guilty, or corrupt.

These are lazy assumptions.

They prevent real connection, real understanding, real peace.

We react to people based on the stories we tell ourselves about their "class," not based on who they actually are — a modern reflection of the Brahman/Untouchable conundrum.

And because of that, interactions often feel strange, jarring, or hostile — not because people are inherently at odds, but because the perceptions are flawed before the conversation even begins.

True Success Is Living Beyond Labels

True success is not about rising higher on a ladder or escaping a lower rung.

It is about living beyond labels — because the labels no longer blind you to others or yourself, nor blind others to you or themselves.

When the walls of class, caste, or category fall away, something remarkable happens:

You truly see.

And you are truly seen.

Without those rigid labels, every meeting, every encounter becomes an opportunity to experience something you have never experienced before — not limited by expectation, judgment, or illusion.

Success beyond labels, in this deeper sense, is the moment you and others grant yourselves permission to adopt and embody all the attributes that once were boxed into different classes — to live as the builder, the creator, the steward, the visionary, the nurturer, the traveler, the worker, the dreamer — without limitation.

Inside the Sphere of Being described below, there are no separate rooms marked "working class," "middle class," "upper class."There is only the open, living field of existence — a myriad of possibilities, weaving and radiating outward in all directions.True success is not about climbing.

It’s about unbinding — freeing yourself and everyone else to move, to experience, to live across the full expanse of being, without walls.

A Spherical Alternative: The Sphere of Being

Instead of the outdated ladder model — where you move “up” or “down” through life — imagine a Sphere of Being instead.

You are not a climber on a corporate or social ladder.

You are a radiant field, expanding and contracting in all directions, evolving through life’s multidimensional movements.

In this sphere:

You can deepen inward toward wisdom.

You can widen outward into new experiences.

You can focus, rest, strive, or surrender — all without judgment.

You can flow freely in all directions — by choice, and without judgment.

There is no direction.

There is no "higher" or "lower."Only movement. Only being.

From my Sound Healing work, I recognize this is the same way frequency itself behaves — not as a flat two-dimensional wave, but as an emanation, a spherical pulse moving outward in all directions.

Existence radiates spherically, not linearly — and so should our lives.

When we understand this — that both life and frequency move spherically, not linearly — something profound happens:

We stop seeing others as "above" or "below."

We stop seeing life as a narrow race to some imagined top.

We start living, vibrating, radiating — as human beings were meant to.

When you meet another person, remember: They are not a "class."They are a sphere of being. They are an entire field of experiences, choices, struggles, joys, and dreams — just like you.

Maybe if we remembered this, the divisions would dissolve.

Maybe the world would start to heal from the inside out.

Because you were never meant to be a label.

You were always meant to be a living, radiant force — moving outward, like life itself, in every direction.
