Identification is essentially a thought process by which the mind safeguards the ego by needing to expand itself to become something it must resist and defend, it must own. Identification destroys freedom, and only in the happiness of that truth, love brings is the true self-discovery.
Fear prevents experience
and it is fear that is asking for identification with others, wherever there is
a need to identify with an ideology.
Truth or happiness cannot
come without undertaking the journey into the ways of the self. You cannot travel
far if you are anchored with an identification that is the refuge in a title or
position.
The more we struggle for or
against identification, the greater is the resistance to understand. The person
who has identified himself can never know freedom, in which alone all truth
comes into being.
Only when the outward
expression projected by the inner demand of all possibilities is available,
then the way of discovery and happiness, freedom and sincere love is the fact.
The concern about with what
others think of the self creates the anxiety to know all about them is the
becoming of the externalized and inwardly empty conclusion.
The more externalized the
self is, the more sensations and distractions are available, which gives rise
to a mind that is never quiet, that is not capable of deep sensation of love
and discovery.
Tranquility does not come
into being with abstinence or denial; it comes with the understanding of what truly
is.
