Ego "I"

Of course, the ego identity, the "I", is still not truly who you are. You can identify a certain interaction between the true self and the false self, and this will help you to see what is really you and what is not you, what is your personality... Here, then, we see the need for the dissolution of identity itself, whether true or false. We are attached to identity itself, and any attachment to identity, even to an experience of true self, becomes the false identity... Then the next level of the void needs to rise, the level of the dissolution of identity. We need to see that the attachment to identity itself is also hell and frustration. At this point you begin to see hell more clearly, more palpably. (Diamond Heart Book 2, pg 58)
