Identities

162

Our life journey has undoubtedly included many such associations and identities through a number of embodiments, which have enabled learning and inspiration.
With spiritual awakening we recognize that even our identity as a person – an individualized mind-body – is but a fleeting convenience for relating in space-time; that our truest, most authentic identity is pure, unconditioned, formless, imperishable Consciousness.
