Physical Appearance
The temporary vessel we obsess over, destined to return to cosmic dust.
Personality
A collection of learned behaviors and reactive patterns we mistake for an authentic self.

The perpetual performance we maintain to convince others—and ourselves—of our significance.
"In the mirror of existence, we see not ourselves but the reflection of our desperate need to be someone."
Planetary Influences
Mars
Fuels our futile drive for individual recognition in an indifferent cosmos.
Sun
Illuminates the ego's elaborate disguises while casting shadows of doubt on authenticity.
Void Meditation
Consider: If you stripped away every label, role, and characteristic you identify with, what remains? Perhaps only the awareness of the emptiness itself.
Manifestations in Daily Existence
The morning ritual of preparing one's mask for society
The endless internal monologue justifying one's actions
The perpetual adjustment of behavior to meet others' expectations
The cyclical crisis of identity in face of cosmic insignificance
