Why Your Sense of Self is an Illusion

It is all too easy to lose ourselves in the pursuit of possessions and external validation. We start to believe that our worth is tied to what we own—the car we drive, the house we live in, or the brand of clothing we wear.

Gradually, without realizing it, our sense of identity becomes entangled with these objects, making it difficult to recognize who we are without them. This fixation on the material distracts us from a deeper truth—that our authentic selves are buried beneath these layers of superficiality, waiting to be uncovered.

For many, this realization only comes when the weight of maintaining such an identity becomes unbearable. As we try to hold on to a life dictated by possessions, we may find ourselves spiritually empty, as if something crucial is missing.

The discomfort and disconnection that arise in this state can push us to a moment of clarity: the understanding that true peace can not be bought or acquired but must be found within.

This realization is often the first step in a journey toward something greater—a journey that invites a Higher Power to guide us toward our true selves.

The process of rediscovering oneself beyond material attachments requires shedding the defects that have taken root over time.

Greed, pride, and envy are among the many defects that accompany a materialistic mindset, convincing us that we must constantly strive for more to be enough.

These defects become barriers between us and our inner core, masking our genuine desires and needs with a veil of self-centeredness. It is here that a Higher Power becomes essential. By surrendering these defects, we allow a force beyond ourselves to remove the aspects of our character that have kept us from seeing our true worth.
