The Nature Of Identity

[jafar]

Thank you Jafar for this thread, I had t read it before as when you posted it, I was away with very, very vague internet ( but plenty of tiny toads at night singing a small ‘tut’)

I was just wondering, reading the initial Ra’s quote, could Ra have meant Identity as simply the divine ‘fragment’ that we all are  of Creator ?  Just a small thought.

You're welcomed.
We're all sometimes needs time to be away from internet, send my warmest regards to the 'tutty' toads..

Yes there are many ways / metaphor to see this.
An identity is a 'fragment' of the infinite creator, thus making it finite through fragmentation.

In the same manner as a web forum avatar labeled jafar is a fragment of his 'higher identity' which is a consciousness still contained / wrapped inside active physical human body.

The fragmentation of identity, as can be easily experienced on physical life, can happened in multi-level manner.
Human identity -> internet identities

Yet what truly isolate one from another is the access to the 'memory', the 'data'.
As can be evidenced through observing person with "Multi Personality Disorder" and/or "Amnesia".
When the wall of memory/data isolation is gone, then identities will be merged, since the 'isolation wall' no longer exist.

Thus the name "Social Memory Complex" suits very well..
The results of destroying wall that isolate/forbid access and sharing of one set of memory with the other.
