Essential Point:

You can only experience an Identity Crisis if you are confused about your Identity, and you are only confused about your Identity if you Disconnected from the Truth of who you are.

Overview:

The “Quarter-Life” or “Mid-Life” Identity Crisis is an often talked about and well-known phenomena that Humans commonly experience around the World. What these crises refer to is the extreme confusion of Identity that results from the collapse of who you thought you were.

In Truth, most humans today are going through one long, never ending state of Identity confusion, and it simply isn’t labeled as a “crisis” because the Dream of the Ego has not yet turned into a Nightmare. Typically, when some piece of significant Form that you deeply identify with collapses – such as the Loss of a loved one, of a job, of a Relationship, or of some financial condition – “Normal Unconsciousness” intensifies into “Deep Unconsciousness,” through which your Normal state of Identity confusion intensifies into a deeper Identity “Crisis.”

As Identity Crises are born from Identity confusion, and Identity confusion is born from the lack of Awareness, you are only subject to potential Identity Crisis if you are Unawakened. In this sense, Identity Crises happen when you are mistakenly Identified with your Mind and the World of Form. You mistakenly derive your sense of self through some piece of Form, and when that piece of Form Changes, Dissolves, or otherwise collapses, as all Form must because of its inherent Impermanence, you collapse with it and Suffer a “Crisis.” You are forced into questioning who you are, because who you Thought you were is gone. In this sense, the Identity Crisis is the Ego scrambling to find some type of stability when the rug is pulled out from underneath it.

Ultimately, Identity crises hold great Power to catalyze Spiritual Awakening in that the collapse of Form provides a window of opportunity to Realize and connect with the Underlying Formlessness, which is the Essence of who you truly are. Often times, people have to go through a multitude of Identity Crises or Life tragedies, or Disillusionments before they Realize they are not who they Thought they were.

The Essential Purpose of Identity Crisis is to Realize that you were never the Form that collapsed, you were always the Permanent Formlessness that enabled the Form to be temporarily. When enough Form collapses in your Life, and you experience enough Suffering, this is often when you Realize the lesson that you were never the Form, you simply Believed you were. You Realize that it was an Illusion of the Mind that you made Real by giving it Life, by giving it Consciousness. You fooled yourself.

In the Awakening state, as you increasingly Know that you are the Formless, Changeless Consciousness that underlies all Changing Form, you become increasingly immune to Identity crises for you are increasingly certain of your True Identity. And in the Fully awakened state, Identity Crisis is not possible for there is no doubt about who you are.
