The Endless pursuit of Identities...

What do you identify with? What are your identities???
Such questions have the potential to probe your conscience in more ways than one!

Identities have been there and are likely to remain. They appear to be a natural aftermath of the evolution society undergoes or perhaps the human race itself experiences. But, at times I can't help wondering if there were certain frames of reference where these identities dissolved completely. If there was a plane of existence where an individual identified oneself with one's own self and nothing else.
After all, the identities imparted by nationality, religion, language, gender, caste, profession...all change their dimensions with changing time and space. Even our identities as humans gets belittled in the larger scheme of things.
Then, why not, for once, lose ourselves to something unexplained by reason, and identify ourselves as ourselves?
