A Person Is Not a Human: The Difference Between Persona and Authentic Self

This lecture explores the fundamental distinction between the "person" and the "human"—two identities often conflated but inherently different. The "person" is a psychological and social construct, shaped by society’s conditioning and driven by the ego, while the "human" refers to the authentic self—unconditioned, present, and rooted in love. While personhood is performance, humanity is essence. The deeper one identifies with the persona, the further one drifts from true connection and fulfillment.

At the heart of this disconnection lies the ego’s attempt to fill a void where love should be. The persona offers roles and identities to compensate for the absence of authentic being, but these substitutes are hollow. Love, in this context, is not an emotion but the foundational force of our humanity. Only by transcending the persona and dismantling the illusions of ego can one return to the human essence that embodies love.

This lecture challenges the listener to question the identity they inhabit and to consider what it means to live not as a person, but as a human.
