Don’t Know Who We Are and What We Want! - (2171)

Lost our Identity

We often don’t know who we are and what we want all because the ego has taken our true identity. So much so that we don’t even know that we have an identity.

Every Time we Identify with the Ego we Lose Our Identity

To be identified is to have assumed the identity of a given ego. In the normal person this happens so often, that is, losing the identity of their at peace and happy essence to the desiring, turbulent, worrisome identity of the ego.

Because this happens so often there begins to come a time where one forgets their essence and tries to find their identity in their most constant egos, that is their strongest egos.

If pride is their strongest ego which is quite common, one builds an identity where one thinks of oneself as good, always right, strong and stronger, more experienced and intrinsically superior and better.

We can even develop a way of thinking that we are something and others are nothing. The truth is though in consciousness we are awareness and neither something nor nothing. We are not something nor are we nothing, we are awareness.

We Don’t Know What we Want

Because there are some many egos with contradicting desires we don’t know what we want because we identify with so many egos that all have their different desires, wants and commitments.

The Identity One Gets with Time

Aa people age they find a kind of an identity for themselves, but it is not our real identity.

Over time people come to know what they like, what they value, what is important to them, what is right for them etc. Some of that knowledge does indeed come from their essence but not all of it does.

Some of it comes from the egos that they have and their personality. It is in effect a mixture. People end up with a mixture of values, and knowledge which forms their identity, which in all effect which is really a false identity.

The real in depth, that is, nothing beyond, is the identity of our inner Real Being.

Conclusion

The less we identify with the ego the closer and closer we come to knowing and understanding that our identity is not he identity or flavour of any ego but awareness and beyond that is Atman and beyond that is Kether and beyond that is Adhi Buddha and Master Samael says that there are even several identities in the Absolute beyond Adhi Buddha within the Absolute.
