ADAMUS ADAMUS - Crimson Circle

LINDA: Oh.
The (NEXT) Series X - Beyond Identity
ADAMUS: Something we’ve talked about before, but so easy to get stuck in your
identity, pretending that you’re something that you’re really not. So easy to get
locked into who you think you are, and it’s no more than a role. Even if you didn’t
get dressed up today, it’s another costume. Your body: a costume. Your history: just
a stage script. That’s all. And one of the greatest things you can do for yourself right
now is let loose of that identity. And it’s also one of the most terrifying. You identify
with it. It is … or you have come to believe that it is you. And I can tell you, my
dear, it is not. It is not.
And the interesting thing is so many humans,
especially those on the spiritual path, are looking to
solidify that identity and to make sense of it and to
try to perfect it, to try to refine it. It doesn’t work. It
can’t. You can never, ever make perfection out of this
identity, because it’s an illusion. You could go so far
as to say that it’s a lie. At least it’s a game. Perhaps it’s
an adventure, but it’s not real. The harder you try to
make some sense out of it and to perfect it, the deeper
into the hole you get.
And then what happens, according to the story that Tobias told quite some time
ago? Then you keep digging and digging and digging. It’s an illogical kind of
logic – thinking that the deeper you dig, sooner or later you get yourself out? No.
You just get yourself in deeper. There comes a point when you have to say, “I’m
going to stop digging, or I’m going to stop identifying with the way that I’ve
been trying to identify with myself, the way I’ve been trying to make sense out
of all this experience. I’m going to stop digging and either just release myself, let
myself out, or at least start digging in a different direction,” as we told in the story
of Tobias – digging down and down and down until finally one day he realized
that he could just dig out sideways through the side of the hill instead of going to
hell the way he was going, digging that deep, of course. That was funny. (some
laughter) Yes, indeed.
So, dear Shaumbra … (audience laughter, as a silly laughing
cartoon is flashed on the screen behind Adamus) So, dear
Shaum… (more laughter as it is shown again and he sees it)
Ah, laugh now. Laugh now, but in your dreams I will have
the last laugh.
