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.
