Your identification is your bondage. Identify with anything other than pristine emptiness that you are....you will lose your peace.
Your stuff and non sense is not you, your wonderful mind is not you, your beautiful imagination is not you, your experiences good and bad are not you, your attainments ( spiritual and otherwise are not you, your body is certainly not you. That one you understand. because one day the body will be dead...that is an easy one to get
but theTsunamis of emotions in your inner space are powerful but very subtle so you end up identifying. losing sleep over them.
What is identification?
You are some weirdness of pure nothingness or something like that. who can say what! Its actually too complicated to say what you truly are. Its easy to say what you are not...you are not what you see, think, feel and experience. The play of senses, inner commentaries....certainly not you. The good is not you, the bad is not you...sin is not you virtue is not you, bondage is not you enlightenment is not you.
Mind owns good things, disown things that hurt the set view of oneself and thus keeps suffering going.
Stop identifying with anything other than the perfection of this moment.
What hurts you on this path is the thorn, trying to pull out a thorn stuck in your psyche. Be smart. Be pro-you. Dont play small games. Small games of gripe, offence, hurt, anger....will keep you turning the wheel of suffering.
If you are suffering and mind is getting stronger and more powerful over you, you have identified with something.
feel with open heart and you will disidentify
