SHACK 92 IDENTITY

Listening to the chatter of the mind, the incessant inner dialogue and accompanying it the fantasies and daydreams which are a far cry from the quiet contemplative and meditative mind I wondered why this cacophony onslaught was necessary?

The inner auditory assault caused by the seemingly endless thoughts and some breaks of silence and peace caused ruffles and waves with feelings and emotions in and on the tranquil ocean of calmness. I felt so  much better when quiet and at peace, healthier as well.

My feeling was that the experiences of the past(s) were an accumulation into a package named ego, and it sort of lived a separate life, a sort of splinter and became an entity with a life of its own seemingly observed by a witness at times.  When the witness 'clicked' in, the ego diminished its diatribe and became self aware it was an entity with a limited shelf life.  It was only a bundle of thoughts and experiences and did not have any lasting and real foundation.

In order for this ego to sustain itself it must build a history an illusionary life, a passport to its birth and origin and all the family history that accompanies it. It will add or delete that which does not serve its purpose and will develop attack and defense systems, strategies and use the tools of denial, lying, pretense, and such extreme measures as threats, violence and whatever machinations that are available. It must form a solid bullet proof identity.

From a vista of expanded education of this dilemma a view of the length of time or longevity of this entity ego depends on the beliefs of the ego. One might say the ego dies with the body and so it was never really everlasting unless one's belief is reincarnation, then the ego comes back to finish off unfinished business, relive itself and claim its former identity. This one could call local identity, or local mind.

However with the observer who it is felt has an intelligence that seems to be all pervasive, it seems to have limitless being and only pours a drop of itself into the human body and indeed everything. This presence assures Itself it is not an illusion and does not vary in Its intelligence and observation.  Perhaps the witness awareness's purpose for being present in the body and mind at 'the back' of the ego which tends to try to preempt the observer is to liberate the ego and include it in the observer itself, for the ego is a splinter, a chip off of the awareness and once the ego experiences the union with its greater being the false identity can drop away.

The ego then becomes the wave that joins the ocean and rests in the knowledge that is not separated and assumes a undefinable identity----it becomes an undefinable and identity-less whatever and is so delighted to be so. 

Define the identity of God, the Universe, the Cosmos? It seems that having no specific identity is everlasting and an attribute of eternity----whatever that is.

If you are not sure you are forever---then who are you as a temporary being?  And if you are sure you are forever who told you so?   Having no identity frees you of this dilemma!!!

Being free is having no identity-------nothing to worry about here.
