"Identity is everything. It's a well-known fact: your identity is you. Of course, your identity is crafted, it is built, it is manufactured. It is not real. No, the identity is a substitution for the self. It is projection. It is the shell in which the ātman cowers as it shivers with fright and insecurity. The identity is a lie written on paper to give the reader something that it desires, wants, or feels that it needs; rather, it is what the self thinks the reader desires, wants, or feels that it needs. In summation, the identity is the equalizer of expressionless language. And, because of the inaccuracy of human communication, the identity, in many ways, is more real than the true self - the ātman.
"So when the identity becomes the self through perception and misunderstanding, then the true self is rendered inert. Useless. Non-existent. The true self becomes the lie and must exist solely to continue building the shell around itself in order to survive. It wraps the lie around itself and nurtures it with it's own life force. It is swallowed. Encapsulated. Surrounded. Truth is reduced to an energy source that enables the facade." "Is this a perversion? Not one tot. Not one tittle! For how can a truth be a truth unless it is experienced? How could the majesty of the Sistine Chapel be beheld if it were covered with a mosaic? The mosaic might be beautiful and wonderful indeed but it would not be the real ceiling of that chapel, would it not? However, if one were not aware that the mosaic were a veneer then what would it matter? 'There is the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel by Rubio Mossel of Spain. Who is Michelangelo? There is no Michelangelo'." "This must seem a tall order for one such as you. Granted, what I am teaching you is not what you've been made to believe in your life - for you do not exist to serve your identity. But that is another, more advanced lesson. What is necessary now is that you must not let those around you feed upon your identity. Do not let others determine who you are. Do not let them peel your shell from your self. Our society has not prepared your Truth for the blinding force of reality: it has cultivated you as an object to be used. Your self, your Truth are vulnerable children in the den of evil. Your self, your truth are prey. This is why your identity is important and why your identity is your real truth. For without your identity, you are nothing. You cease to exist. When Humans go to Outer Space, they wear a suit to protect them from the vacuum of the Cosmos but that suit is not them. If you remove that suit, they die. Such is the way in our society, young one: Carefully cultivate and guard your identity, for without it you, and your self, your Truth, will die." |
