An identity, any identity,
whether that of
a Spiritual seeker,
an Advaitin,
a Bhakt of Shakti
or a devotee of trinkets,
is nothing more than an identification
between the mind
 and the image which it has about itself. 
An image which is really an abstract
 of memories of events in the past. 
It is this censored and edited imaginary abstract
which believes it exists as an individual,
 with
a particular  self identity
