IDentities: Defining Who You Are
Advanced Psycanics

Your most important creation, the most important creation you will or can ever make, is the creation of yourself. You create what you are and what you are not. The rest of your existence is a footnote to that. The only thing you really have to worry about in life is creating yourself according to your highest vision of who you can BE, especially in ESSENCE of BEing = Wisdom, Power, Value, Space and LoveJoy. The rest of life flows from that.

*1- Whenever "identity" is written "IDentity" or "ID," it is a reminder that the word refers specifically to Essence Identities. There are other kinds of identities. 2- To assure instant reader identification, IDentities, PIRs and NIRs, will be written in capitals: I CAN DO IT, I AM CAPABLE, I AM WEAK.You create what you are and are not by creating IDENTITIES. An identity is any declaration = creation = belief about yourself. Identities are self determinations of what you are, and what you are not. Most identities take the form of I AM (whatever), and I AM NOT (whatever). A few can also be expressed as verbs: for example, one of the identities of Power: I AM ABLE; I AM CAPABLE, can be expressed as I CAN (do whatever), with the AntiPower form of I CAN’T. The PSYCANIC or the ESSENCE IDENTITIES (abbreviated IDs*) are those that affirm or deny your spirit-ual ESSENCE of Wisdom, Power and Value, and thereby trigger your (self) Love-ability = Joy = Happiness.

They are the most powerful factor in your existence.
They determine your Causal Sequences in Life.

IDentities are:

• Creations: Each person (psycan) creates hir realities of self, of what s/he is and is not. Identities are creations of the psycan that form hir BEing = all that s/he is and is not BEing. Identities can be created and discreated at will.
• Realities: Identities are realities = masses of modulated energy. They are realities created about self by self. They modulate = form the BEing of the psycan: all that s/he is and all that s/he is not, all that s/he is BEing and not BEing. As realities, they cause experience, the person's experience of self; and they trigger the emotions which are love-AntiLove for self.
  It is very important to understand that Identities are Realities, not Truth.
• Determinations of Self: Identities are self-determinations of what one is and is not. The psycan self-determines —decides and declares— what s/he is and is not; and thus determines hir characteristics, powers and limitations, i.e. hir BEing.
• Beliefs: Identities include what other systems call "beliefs" about self. Because realities are "real" and cause experience, the psycanically ignorant person usually takes them as "given" and without the Responsability of Creator. S/he then considers them true and "stable data," and often as unchangeable; so that s/he may seldom question the truth and validity of experience of self. In Psycanics, the word "belief" is something negative, almost a dirty word; we mention it here because so many other systems refer to one's "beliefs."
• Identities are realities; they are not truth. (The distinction is very important.) They can be created and discreated at will. Furthermore, the positive polarity of the Essence IDentities already exists in the psycan as part of hir original nature. The AntiEssence IDentities, then, are illusions. Spiritual advancement is a question of discreating the AntiEssence IDentities that suppress ESSENCE so that these are experientially real again.

Your Essence Identities, although mostly subconscious, are the most powerful forces in your life. The Essence Identities are the BE in the Causal Sequence: BE→FEEL→THINK→RELATE/DO→HAVE. Your BE = IDentities directly determines your emotions, which are your love or AntiLove for self, depending on the IDentity you are in at the moment. Your BE-FEEL = IDentities-emotions are the ulterior motivation of all your thought and actions (DO), and your THINKing and actions determine your HAVE = results. Your negative Essence Identities are the cause of all problems, conflicts and suffering in life; while positive identities naturally produce happiness, success and abundance.

Positive and Negative IDs: PIRs and NIRs

• Those identities that affirm your spiritual Essence of WPVLJ are called PIRs; Positive Identity Realities.
• Those identities that deny or suppress WPVLJ are called NIRs: Negative Identity Realities.

"PIR" and "NIR" are words we will be using a great deal. Here are the definitionsmore formally:

• PIR: Positive Identity Reality*: Any IDentity = creation about self = declaration of I AM or I CAN that affirms your spirit-ual Essence of Wisdom, Power, and therefore Value, and therefore determines your experience of (self) Love and Joy.
• NIR: Negative Identity Reality*: Any IDentity = creation about self = belief that denies or suppresses your spirit-ual essence of WPVLJ. Any reality about self that denies or suppresses Wisdom, Power, Value, or Love and therefore promotes AntiLove = negative emotions = suffering.

Examples of the Essence IDentities polarities:

Wisdom identity polarity:

• I am smart<>I am dumb;
• I know<>I don't know;

Power identity polarity:

• I can<>I can't;
• I am able<>I am unable;
• I am strong<>I am weak;
• I am creative<>I am not creative.

Value identity polarity:

• I am good<>I am bad;
• I am worthy<>I am unworthy;
• I am deserving<>I am undeserving.

According to the Value, to the "good" or "bad," assigned to an identity, the BEing generates Positive Love or AntiLove for hirself. It is this Positive Love or AntiLove for self that is the emotions, and the only happiness or pain that exists.

The Essence IDentities are also the fundamental factor in self-esteem. Self-esteem is the one's evaluation of self in the areas of Wisdom, Power and Value.

Every human being has numerous and large subconscious mental masses of negative IDentities called NIR masses. A NIR mass consists of the negative Essence IDentities, invalidated by an opinion of BAD, and encased in charges of AntiLove for Self, that is, in negative emotional energy.

External events (such a difficult challenges or slights or insults from others) can activate these negative identity masses. An activation is the movement of a negative identity mass from subconscious to consciousness = experience. These activations are the ONLY cause of ALL negative emotional charges.

The untrained person will live letting external events activate hirs IDentities, especially the negative ones. An ignorant, untrained being lets external situations determine hir IDentities instead of deciding them hirself. For example: in the face of a difficult challenge, hirs I CAN'T, I AM UNABLE will predominate in hirs consciousness. In the face of disrespectful treatment from another, hirs I AM UNWORTHY may activate.

Hir IDentities then activate hirs love or hirs AntiLove for hirself, which love+/- is hirs emotions+/- and the only happiness or pain that exists. This mechanism of activation creates the illusion that the external event is the cause of hirs emotions. But it is only an illusion. What determines hirs love+/- = emotions+/- = happiness+/- is not the event, but the IDentity that s/he is assuming in relation to the event.

A being who understands IDentities and has learned to control them hirself (instead of living at the effect of external events) can maintain hirs positive identity in the face of any external situation. Since IDentities determine love which is emotion and experience, such a person lives free of negative emotions. He maintains hirself in love and therefore in positive experience = happiness.

The road to control of one's IDentities and therefore one's experience and the elimination of all negative emotions is to learn to create the positive IDentities and discreate the negative IDentities, irrelevant of the external situation.

While it is possible to over-create negative IDentities with positive IDentities, the best strategy is the elimination from the subconscious of the negative identity masses. By learning to control your IDentities, you control your life. Psycanics teaches you how to create and discreate your identities.
