I could just briefly state that what we acknowledge as our identity or self is very similar to what we see when we look at an object.
What we actually see does not exist. What we actually see is the light reflected from it. Our brain is what causes the illusion. Our brain takes that reflecting light and creates an image in the back of our optical organs. Those of you more educated on this can be more laborate but I think most of you are aware of the basics.
Our brain does the same with respect to what we acknowledge as our self. in reality there is no such thing as self. It is nothing more than our physical brain trying to interpret the stimuli to which the environment subjects it to. Smell, taste, feel, etc. the enviromement causes our brains to react ina certain way, and this method of experiencing our world is what becomes our familairity. Our relationships with tohers a round us, and our individual physical reactions to stimuli create our identity.
but this identity is temporary and exists only with the brain. Once this body dies, the brain stops functioing and all that we thought we were, according to our brain, ceases to exist.
That self was an illusion developed from birth.
Our true identity was never the brain or the body. It was the field of consciousness behind it all. It was the Sacred Fire that dances within the being of every creation. It was our divine being.
