Spirituality There was never a need to be something. There is no need to be something. There will be no need to be something.

In my fatigue felt through biological processes caused by a disease, enters the realization that the adoption of all these identities causes a profound expenditure of energy. In trying to be something to influence our mental and feeling processes to adapt to life, we expend quite the energy. Even in “being” authentic.

There was never a need to be something. There is no need to be something. There will be no need to be something.

All of these identities I adopted to deal with the pain prolonged the pain. Delusion of not seeing my true nature, pure nothingness, prolonged the pain.

what did identity around pain do for you?

Just be a Buddhist and reject the idea of a permanent and unchanging self. I think it's one of the things from the philosophy that we all can appropriate

It was one of the most brutal experiences I've ever had because it felt like witnessing your...
