Be alert and present and see that your identity is not from your past story; who you truly are is the alert presence that is inseparable from the present moment. You are this, which has no name and no form.
To be free of time is to be free of the psychological need of past for your identity and future for your fulfillment
Our identity includes our natural world, how we move through it, how we interact with it and how it sustains us.
Identity is such a crucial affair that one shouldn't rush into it.
I have managed to establish an identity that is based on my internal self, and for that I feel tremendously lucky.
For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces, an event rather than an appearance. These forces can only be tackled by treating color and form as ultimate identities, freeing them from all descriptive or functional roles.
In human beings, love is a quality, a high-prized virtue; in God, love is His identity.
Being the beloved is our identity, the core of our existence. It is not merely a lofty thought, an inspiring idea, or one name among many. It is the name by which God knows us and the way He relates to us
Silent solitude makes true speech possible and personal. If I am not in touch with my own belovedness, then I cannot touch the sacredness of others. If I am estranged from myself, I am likewise a stranger to others.
Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.
