The Belief That One is a Separate Person
The
belief in entityhood is so powerfully entrenched in the human
mind that if we look at our
thoughts, we see that we can’t think without that concept in our mind. Without believing the assumption that one is a separate
person, it is difficult for a
human being to do anything in
life. This assumption
will be confronted at some
point on the path of inner
work. As long as we assume that we are that
identity which is a separate entity, there is no way to go to the realm of the night and behold the inner
guest.
