"Without Knowledge, you will identify with your mind. You will think that your mind is who you are. You will think that your thoughts represent you, define you, govern you and determine your experience." [1]
Personal identity
"Being in the world is a role that you play. It is not your permanent reality. It is not your true identity. You may claim all kinds of different identities, and you may try to identify with these roles completely, but the truth of your real nature and the truth of your purpose for coming into the world is held with Knowledge within you. The great awakening, the redemption that must take place is reconnecting your thinking mind, your personal mind that has been conditioned and shaped by culture, family and religion, to the deeper mind that God has placed within you, the mind of Knowledge. For this is the only way that you will be able to follow the wisdom and the power that God has placed within you."[2]
True identity
"You cannot know Us, but you must know yourself and the others in your life and those who will be sent to you to help you to regain your true identity and deeper nature." [3]
"Everyone was sent here to contend with the conditions of the world. But this preparation occurs at a deeper level of the mind, at the level of Knowledge. This is the part of you that has never been separate from God. It is the part of you that was and is your true identity. It was Knowledge that brought you into the world. It is Knowledge that will carry you through the world. It will be Knowledge that will emerge with you beyond the world." [4]
