We suffer from a crisis of mistaken identity

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


by Brian Thompson

The truth is forever unchanging.

However, our entire lives we confuse fiction for fact. To be true means to be without variation, and yet, our entire world, and everything in it, is one of constant flux. So how can that which changes be considered to be true?

We delude ourselves. Don’t believe the dream of false appearances.

Such as you, for example, or what you perceive as ‘you’. You have always been changing, ever since you were a little child. Even right now, in this very moment, you continue to change. Therefore ‘you’ are not true—‘you’ are only an appearance. While this appearance of ‘you’ maybe certainly be a present fact, it absolutely is not true—as you (your body/mind) are always changing.

This is our problem—we don’t know who we are. We suffer from mistaken identity.

As long as we continue to identify ourselves with this world of changing appearances we remain utterly confused, broken-hearted and lost. We are never able to find ourselves because the moment we think we have ourselves figured out, the illusion we’ve placed our belief and trust in dwindles, dissolves and dies—thereby casting us into yet another ocean of emotional despair and existential suffering.

It never ends, at least, not until the body does.

Your true Self however, remains forever unchanged—despite the dissolution of appearances that you continually experience and perceive.

If you self-identify with the body/mind that your perceived presence occupies, then your every emotion will be relative to and conditioned by the fading illusions that surround it.

It must be understood that no appearance is true—neither physical, nor mental. No matter what appears to be, regardless of how solid or convincing, all appearances remains as a momentary event in the perception of space and time (which also are not true).
