Think of loss of identity as retirement

The fighter will always have an opponent. Think about that. The fighter believes it must defend itself from all attacks. The fighter believes it must prove its mettle, its strength in the arena of its own construction. As such no matter how old the fighter becomes, the fighter will always have an opponent. My current life has shown me, that eventually retirement is the best option. As you walk with this identity of self-defense, the opponent is always waiting to strike, even haphazardly. Originally you fought to gain skill, but eventually the opponents become so haphazard you realize it is not worth your time.

Are you going to fight forever? When will the battle end? So you realize that the absurdity of you needing to defend when you already achieved what you originally started on this journey for which was skill. Now the war is over, and there are no more worthy opponents but the identity still persists....searching for a worthy adversary to test your skill your mettle, not realizing that the desire for an opponent is an attachment that must eventually die. So life sends you half-hearted opponents to kill your desire to continue, and you realize...it is time for retirement. 

The old must retire to make room for the new, and sometimes you need a push to allow that change a smooth transition. The glory of impermanence wins again, the new grows upon the stump of the old and with proper guidance ever new glory unfolds.

You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.

Today i worked with the „thought“

(insert my name) was only a role that i was playing

and was feeling into it. It‘s similar to what you said as in i‘m retiring that role. It was quite nice.

Glad it helped you in some way. Lol but not talking about retiring your human character, unless you got some money stashed away to pull that off.

If you are in the physical universe, you are fighting.

What you resist, persists and less of you exists. There is a part of you that never leaves. You are not in; you have never been. You know. You put it there and time stretches.
