According to Osho, to have an identity like Cleopatra means living through a borrowed image—the ego’s glamorous mask—rather than your authentic, natural being. Such identifications create inner conflict and anxiety because you fight your own nature. Freedom comes by dropping all labels and ideals, accepting yourself as you are, and allowing spontaneous, natural growth instead of imitating rare, heroic models.
It means pretending to be a famous character instead of being your real self, which only makes you unhappy.
