The Identity Trap

We are thrilled to be here.

Since there are many who will be listening to this podcast who are tuning in to these teachings, who are thinking about how to become something more connected to their life, something more authentic, something that's true to who they truly are, something that sees beyond the illusion of the 3D reality and endeavors to understand this idea of the creator of your own reality.

As you have understood by now, if you've been listening to this for a little while, and many of you have, you have a set of beliefs.

Your beliefs are partially limiting, partially empowering, and this creates your perception of reality, your mental construct, and your perspective of yourself in your reality.

You have these beliefs.

You don't know where they came from.

You don't really understand the intensity of the beliefs.

You don't always investigate the beliefs.

You are living life as if what you perceive is real.

And you don't really realize how this perception of yourself, your perspective, generates that perception of your own reality.

You react to outside conditions as if they can cause you to feel something.

And you believe that if you can control or effort or struggle, you will manifest a life that you can possibly imagine from where you are now.

And this is the default perception of reality of all humans.

Everyone who's on this call now, everyone who's listening at a later date has tried to manipulate the outside conditions through control, through change, through running away from it to feel better.

And the only way to feel better is to realize.

that your set of beliefs and the intensity of those beliefs are generating a identity.

That identity is built upon layers and layers and layers of beliefs and experiences that cause you to present a image of yourself that is respectable, likable, lovable, worthy, capable, all these things that you think are positive aspects.

And yet what it's really doing is covering up these limiting beliefs that you're unaware of.

And so those around you never get to know who you are.

They know this false version of you.

And you play this part day in and day out and it becomes exhausting.

You try to cobble together some semblance of an identity that seems good on the outside, seems agreeable, goes with whatever the consensus is.

You don't state your opinions.

You don't ask for what you truly want.

You don't cause any waves.
