Finding your identity

Finding your identity

There is so much pressure and encouragement to find your personal identity. Keep your identity. Don't lose your identity but your identity is preventing you from finding your true self.

Your human identity is the barrier between your consciousness and the realisation of your true self.

Everything you're doing under the name of 'it's good for you' too protect and defend your identity and make that stronger in you is totally counter-productive to the person who is looking for a connection to other people or to their spiritual true reality of what you really are.

Become nothing, and you will be everything.
