Living with a mistaken identity can refer to various situations where someone is wrongly perceived or labeled, either by others or by themselves. This can lead to feeling undeserving of success, doubting oneself, and struggling to live a fulfilling life. ~ ChatGPT
The ultimate truth is simple but, it is something that you will not accept, so it is unacceptable, and it is something you won't believe, so it is unbelievable.
Here is the ultimate truth: What you think you are is a glorious lie.
You take yourself as a man or woman, he or she. Today there is a mixed genders too - "they", but lets not discuss that. You have assigned name, with the time and place of birth as it is written in your driver license. You take as an undeniable truth that you have parents who gave you the birth.
On such a belief you have built a grandiose "me" structure - YOURSELF - as you believe. Your "me" self, personality, identity etc. is a collection of your likes and dislikes, of your system of values, your religious or spiritual beliefs and sense of duties and responsibilities...
During your existence, you've learned a lot, you've acquired tremendous amount of knowledge, mostly useless information that comes handy in small talk and trivia quizzes.
What do you believe?
There is you, born on certain date into an existing world. You deeply believe, without the shadow of doubt that world existed before you were born. The historians will agree with you but can you really prove that? What is your experience? Did world really existed before you become conscious of it?
What is really the world, your world? You strongly believe there is a world in which you live, something outside of yourself. You take it as outside because you believe your thoughts and feelings are something inside yourself.
These beliefs are completely wrong so it is no wonder why do you live a life full of struggle and despair. The most important thing in life is how you see yourself - how do you take yourself, who are you and what the world is.
You are living a life with a mistaken identity! You've taken yourself to be what you are not and that is a source of all your fears and it is the answer of why is your life is so hard.
You are lucky that you read these words. The truth once heard does miracles. For now, this truth is unacceptable and unbelievable for you because of your beliefs. Question your beliefs!
Your physical body, which is a product of food you eat, is inside a limitless field of simple presence. The reflection of that presence you feel as "I AM" sense, you feel that you exist. On that sense, a constant stream of thoughts and feelings creates imagination of the existence of an entity that you take yourself to be. In fact, the world, your surroundings, streets, buildings, trees, water, grass... that is a construct, a simulation, the matrix, the universe - and that is your inner self.
Your outside world, where you spend the most of time, is actually the mental world, an imagination, those thoughts and feelings.
Between inside and the outside of you is the presence in the form of "You Are" sense, the first and the last imagination. "You are", "you exist" is neither true or false. It simply IS.
Take it for granted or investigate for yourself: no one returns after death because no one really died. The dead person was an imagined entity. Imagined means it never existed.
And this is the fact even now. You are an imagination. In this very moment, yourself is just bunch of stories you are endlessly telling yourself. See that clearly and break the spell.
