Not everybody has their occupation written all over their auric field like a neon sign, but the way we are cut off from the open field, from the shared awareness space stands out like a sore thumb.
In hierarchical societies there is a lot of peer pressure to be or to become 'somebody'.
Somehow this is seen as some kind of an individual freedom, when actually this somebody-in-the world identity is a straight-jacket.

In a (hunter-gatherer, animist origin) egalitarian society laughter at people/ourselves trying to be somebodies is a form of social control I suppose. It frees the individual to be themselves who they are, but one doesn’t have to become/do ‘somebody’ in the process, the laughter is the sword that cuts it down.

When one is an indigenous person, one doesn’t need to make one’s indigenousness into an occupation of doing important indigenous-somebody-self-image in the world.
When this happens, one is once again straight-jacketing one’s self and cutting it off from the open field, from the shared awareness space ….
And this being nobody in a shared awareness space is the best indigenous tribes offer, in my experience.

I am glad Mooji addresses this, from 12:36 ->:
