You are under the illusion of an assumption.

The fact that you want to change means that you have only been pretending.

You have been pretending you are not what is already in your mind’s eye.

You may believe you wish to change into your true self. A better self.

The character you have been playing, is merely a false hood you have created to identify what you are not meant to be.

Without opposition, nothing can know it’s true form. Without evil, good could never know it is good.

The master dives into illusion and distraction, to understand the difference between that state and concentration.

You don’t need to change into a new self you just need to stop pretending you’re not already that being in which You desire to be.

The question is, what is the point of pretending.

The answer is, the act of playing characters is in the human nature.

The act of creating worlds and narratives in the mind is how human beings interact with reality itself.

Children don’t get bored, because they are always using their imagination to create narratives out of even the simplest of things. The mind must be in the midst of a quest Because that is, it’s natural state.

Most people are just unaware that they are on the quest of understanding what it is like to be asleep to their true nature and their true power.

One day, the mind intervenes and says I have had enough of that experience, and now it is time to stop pretending.

It is time to be who, and what you truly are.

So you do not have to create a new identity. You do not have to kill the character that you think you have been.

This character has always been an illusion you chose to accept to learn a lesson.

It is much easier to evolve when you realize that your evolution is more like remembering who you always were rather than trying to become something you have never been.
