The Ego’s Final Disguise

[James123]

Through spirituality or the concept of God, the ego takes on a new persona. However, real spirituality isn't about putting on another mask, but about abandoning every identity you hold.

If there is no identity you hold ..who is the you that has to reject attaching identities to itself ? A you that has no identity ? So there's still a you no matter what ?

gotcha

Even saying there is no you is an identification. 

Giving up anything and everything, any beliefs, ideas, explanations , experiences.

Actually, people don't want money. They want happiness but believe that happiness will come through money, sex, drugs etc...

But, not happiness, but freedom is what We are. 

So, actually you know this, therefore you decide.

For me, sex is body to relax, money is body to overcome from hunger.

They are all different forms of desire . There is no difference between sex and pooping ..in both cases you are feeling an irresistible urge to satisfy a constant need . It's all forms of bondage essentially . As long as we appear to inhabit a body we are in full time job of satisfying constant needs .

Identity is real. You are a form that reality takes called human. This is not an illusion; it is simply a fact. 

Regarding God, however, we would need to specify what we mean by God.
