Are we more ourselves when ourselves are less? I am. Amness I am. Did you become yourself, or did yourself become you?

Liberated you, ego driven you, it's all you.... though you might prefer to identify with a particular version of yourself

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

The problem I see with people identifying with a certain aspect of the personality is they seem invested in denying other parts exist at all.

Spirituality is comprised of these psychological constructs or thought-forms, Yogi. Such is the nature of religion. A way of thinking. A cult of personality. People involved at a certain level are moving within the balance, and this involves recognizing different aspects of the self, contained within its true nature, or the spirit. They realize they are not only one with everything else, but that everything else is one with them.

Makes me think of Jung's idea of the shadow. I think about how many spiritual teachers or gurus who just flat out don't identify with their desires, but identify with this idealized ego in their minds. Just because they don't identify with their desires, doesn't mean that they just go away. They're usually horribly repressed and then, when it does come out, they usually express it in terrible ways that hurt others.
It seems like our minds like to play tricks on us.
