Few things are more important to most than an identity. “I want to be a: rock star, dentist, artist, architect, president of a company or country, a beauty queen, a movie star, loved, respected” … and on and on, usually including several identities combined into one.
Being ‘someone’ … even someone nefarious, validates existence, the opposite of death. The absence of an identity is like ‘non-existence’ in the sense of a separated ‘self’. Very, very few, as yet have any idea at all that that is the Truth. NOT existing is the real fear associated with death and so every breath most take is oriented in some way to ensuring that they have an identity.
And yet, eventually this ‘false self’ [body-mind-identity] must be abandoned and dissolved since ‘it’ represents the collective conditioning that veils the ‘one’ Reality – the ONE SELF You Really Are. All roads [pathless-paths] lead to this single Awareness and the Freedom You Are.
