We humans share the same fundamental components: our true self, our perceived personality or ego, and our quest for truth. The ego, which encompasses our attachments and identifications, is not inherently negative; it arises from our experiences and the interpretations we choose to embrace. Free will allows us to interpret and identify with these experiences, leading to the creation of a virtual self-image or mask. This ego emerges when we prioritize personal interests over the common good, a process known as privatizing. Monotheism has contributed to this privatization by polarizing the divine, resulting in a skewed perception of our own divine essence. When we presume to think, we are actually perceiving thoughts, as nothing exists without perception, which is influenced by the perceiver. Recognizing that our thoughts exist only when perceived is crucial; perceiving is not personal or tangible but unconditional. We are unconditional consciousness, not merely physical beings. By privatizing our true selves, we overlook our essence, which is unchanging, immortal, and timeless. It is time to take our true selves seriously and, like Salome, shed our masks. When we no longer privatize our divine core, enlightenment naturally emerges.
