If we observe our own minds at work, we see that behind all these identities is a state of awareness that incorporates them all and yet is still able to rest behind them. As we loosen the hold of each identity so that we don’t get completely lost in it, we are able to remain light and loose—able to play among these various aspects of being without identifying exclusively with any. We don’t have to be anybody in particular. We don’t have to be “this” or “that.” We are free simply to be.
