' The Eternal Identity '...

There seem to two kinds of searchers:

those who
seek to make their ego something other than it is,
i.e. holy, happy, unselfish (as though you could
make a fish unfish),

and those who understand
that all such attempts are just gesticulation and
play-acting, that there is only one thing that can
be done,

which is to disidentify themselves with
the ego, by realizing its unreality, and by becoming
aware of their eternal identity with pure being.
