identity vs. I AM
identity is the opposite of harmony (going with the flow, tao, being the whole existence, the I AM). identity is like a knot on smoothness of existence.
you are either holding on to attachments and living from an identity created by your ego fighting against the world around you. or you're moving through life unconditionally in a way that is unique to you knowing that you are the whole life, the whole existence. that you are the experience itself and not just the experiencer.
wholeness and harmony lie in being the way, not just the identity of the ego. ego on its own is just a tool, just a part of this life experience. it allows you to experience your real self (= the life, existence) in 1st person pov. it's like a camera attached to one character giving you a unique experience, but you are the whole play.
ego creates its own little identities when you don't trust the God that you are, when you don't trust in the love of the world around you. identities and attachments are nothing but the results of a protective mechanism of your ego. when you revisit your attachments, identities, and fears knowing that everything is you, that you are not just this tiny individual but the breath of existence, the artificially created identities will dissolve and you'll be able to live freely though still as particular expression of God without thinking, without attaching, without defining, without conditioning, just with freedom and love.
