Identifying fills a deep human need for connection:
It gives us a sense of belonging,
Whether it be to an idea, a belief, an opinion, a value, a way of being, another person ---
And we kid ourselves that these belongings are ours.
Well that's fine, as far as it goes.
BUT....
Identification with any one or any thing blinds us
To the fact that our identifications also have us very firmly in their grip,
And to the possibilities of other levels of experience.
