IDENTIFICATION IS STRENGTHENED WHEN SOMETHING FEELS PERMANENT
When something is not permanent, it is easier to see that it is impersonal. When it starts to feel permanent, gel together, we start to identify with it. When we’re still trying to be aware, when we keep losing awareness, it doesn’t feel like ours. When it starts to gain momentum, it gels together and is always around, then, we start to identify with it: ‘Oh, I’m always mindful; this is my awareness’.
