Identity



Identity is a Body of Awareness. Awareness is building it gradually in time by process of Comparison.

Awareness compares its Key Content to External-Reality Identities and Space-time in effort to copy the qualities and incorporate it in the Self-Perception and Self-Continuity.

With Categorization of the Self-Perception and Placement in the Self-Continuity, by making it “the Same” (lat. idem) with the External, Awareness founds the first building blocks of the Real Identity by interfering with the Energy of the External-Reality and Forces of the Space-time.

In the Search for Meaning, Awareness may discover two more sensations for Comparison: Imagination and Courage.

Comparison of the Imagination against the Identity will produce Categorization of the Self-Knowledge or Self-Image.

Comparison of the Courage against the Identity will produce Placement in the scale of Self-Assessment.

Accumulation of the Self-Knowledge and Self-Assessment will produce the Self-Ideal.

Now we have a Complete Identity: Real Identity and Self-Ideal; that are always in interaction influencing each other.

Real Identity can take many Forms of which the four are most common:
  • Personal-Identity (Ego)
  • Social-Identity (Local Groups and Organizations)
  • Pan-Social-Identity (Global Groups and Organizations)
  • Pan-Identity (Sum of All Identities)

Personal-Identity is the most Egocentric while Pan-Identity is most Altruistic.

Awareness can reside in only one level of Identity at a time and in only one Role at a time (for Social Identity).

Self-Ideal in other hand is more instable than Real-Identity. It is easily changed by smallest interruption of Imagination or Courage, and has great influence over Real-Identity in the forms of Placebo Effect and Charisma respectively.

While building of the Identity continues, in need of stability and balance Awareness will create more Needs:
  • Survival / Production
  • Safety / Belongingness
  • Organization / Power
  • Happiness / Compassion

To be able to interact with the External Real World and Actualize the Needs, Identity will wear a Mask or Personality (lat. Persona).
