Standing upon a principle, in and of itself? Definitely not what I intended with the words "hangup", unless holding to the principle is preventing someone from observing or understanding what I referred to as a "simple truth", which is the context in which the word "hangup" was placed. A hangup would be any description of an aspect of reality which is incongruent with the actuality of the nature of reality or prevents one from understanding an aspect of the nature of reality.

As for relinquishing ones 'sense' of identity, where do you suppose this sense of identity comes from?
The present manifestation of the progression, over the course of one's life, of the daily thoughts one ascribes to one's conceptualization of what one's identity is.

So is the term 'hangup', as its being used here, synonymous with the term 'delusion'?

No, I would not consider it to be synonymous, although clearly a delusion, by definition, would be a hangup as I employed the term then. Something doesn't necessarily have to be a delusion in order to prevent one from understanding or realizing some aspect of reality. Simply having preoccupied thoughts about some matter can prevent one from perceiving an aspect of one's environment, for example.

I think I tend to do this more than I should.
