"Every one of us is shadowed by an illusory person, a false self. I wind my experiences around myself and cover myself in glory to make myself perceptible...as if I were an invisible body that could only become visible when something visible covered its surface....But there is no substance under the things with which I am clothed. I am hollow, and my structures of pleasures and ambitions have no foundation. I am my own mistake.....The secret of my identity is hidden in the love and mercy of God."
-Thomas Merton, "Seeds of Contemplation"
