There is no loss of individuality in awareness. Rather, you become THE Individual - Brahman. But the small "me" is lost. You have to decide, do you really want or need the "little me?" I tell you, it's nothing but smoke! There is a natural fear of losing it in the beginning, but gradually you begin to see its illusory nature, like a house built of matchsticks. The mind devised this "small me" because it did not know its true nature, and it needed some kind of identity. But when it knows its true nature, the mind no longer needs the "me." >You can see .. I fear losing ALL identity, and some >look forward to it! Not me! All identity is absolutely NOT lost. Take a look at the enlightened masters. Each one is different, very different. Do you see loss of identity there? The essential personality remains behind, imbued with Divinity. What is lost is that grasping, needy "me" full of desires that go unfulfilled. Realization is the absolute and permanent fulfillment of all desire. There is nothing to fear, and only rejoicing.
