Everything we see, touch, taste, smell, feel is the same energy that moves to the senses and externally through identification, becomes the image of what we think we are.

This is Maya, this is an illusion.
Energy is directed outwards.
This is why meditation is important to put ourselves in front of these things, to direct the energy to its origin in what we are.
In awakening, the attachment to everything must be dissolved: money, possessions, forms, names, fame, desires, ambitions.
Such things happen in the personality space, in the space of the five senses, but the intuition of true nature is beyond that.
You are free when you dwell in the state of excellent knowledge and beyond that.
But above all, you can always get away when you realize what you have identified with and go back to a deep self.
