You must dissolve this membrane of self. Stop thinking of the personality as anything meaningful. It’s a garment. At one point, you chose it. At any other point you can discard, mend, or replace it. Do not get attached to it.
Your personality has no power that you don’t give it. Dissolve it at every opportunity.
As for the body, it is a communication tool merely. Love, enjoy, take care of it the best you know. Don’t place identity into it. Dissolve identity at every opportunity.
Dissolve all ego
There is not a function performed by any person, that could not be performed as well by any other. Do not build your identity around a function. Every ego is born to die. Every ego must be dissolved.
Are you an artist or creator? You all are, with your lives. Stop thinking of anything you create as being in your own particular style, and stop getting invested in your own brand.
All your greatest creations came when the busy self was put aside.
Know that there is ever present and available an enormous power source. It gently blesses all who turn their attention to it. The more you are conscious of and meditate upon this source of light and goodness, the more It shines like a great sun which does not burn but only exalts, floods, infuses and flows through its object, blessing everything to the extent that you relinquish these petty threadbare garments, these membranes of self, which only stand in the way.
I and my Father are one
John 10:30
