Image and identity go hand in hand. We can not assume an identity of anyone or anything without an image first of all.
Image comes from our imagination. So to get identified with anger for example, we see the image in our subconscious of the angry person (image or profile of the ego of anger) with all its arguments, logic, reasons and then we assume its identity and we become it.
Awareness of our imagination and control of it is so important in our psychological work and in our awakening.
Identity and role go hand in hand. As soon as there is an identity through identification then there is a role. Then if there is a role there is action - the ego carries out its commitments implicit in its role.
End (3089).
