🕉😀 The Illusion of Personal Identity / Suffering - Nonduality Teacher Lisa Cairns

We suffer because of our attachment to the illusory personal identity, we suffer because of our wrong self-image that we have. This is what spiritual / nonduality teacher Lisa Cairns is saying in this video.

Lisa Cairns (disciple of the renowned Advaita Master Ramesh Balsekar) says that in her teachings she is always pointing to that which is. ‘And that which is isn’t happening for someone!’ The problem is, she says, that ‘Most bodies go around with this illusion in them, the illusion of 'I', and they believe that life is happening to that person.’ ‘Rather than that person being an experience as well, they feel they are that person and that they experience life separately.’ So Lisa describes very well how humans very much believe in the illusion of ‘me,’ in the illusion of a separate self, in the illusion of personal identity. Human beings don’t see that reality is an illusion, they don’t see that life as we know it is an illusion. They don’t understand the nature of personal identity and why it creates suffering. ‘Because the separate self is trying to make something permanent, which is not permanent. They are trying to make themselves permanent, and they are trying to make the world permanent. They are trying to make themselves a solid object, and the world a solid object.
And that's impossible,’ Lisa explains. ‘So the human bases his whole life on that illusion! His whole life is based on ‘me and the world,’ ‘me and other’. And it runs around trying to make that a reality when it’s not. It runs around trying to fix an illusion, trying to make the dream-world, the illusory world a real one. But it never can be, it never will be.’

So what can we learn from this video? We can
- understand the nature of personal identity better
- understand better that we live in an illusory world with an illusory / wrong self-image
- see how we create suffering because of our wrong self-image
- see more clearly how we are attached to our ego or our sense of personal identity

Where to go from here? We can start practicing honest self-enquiry and see the illusory nature of our ego. The ultimate goal remains spiritual awakening / enlightenment.
