According to the Outer Tantras, one’s own awareness—known as “self-suchness”—is ultimately beyond self-identity. It is free from all dualistic notions. This is the basis of visualizing oneself as the deity. If we don’t maintain such a view in our practice of the tantras, we are simply imagining ourselves to be putting on the ornaments, or façade, of the deity. In other words, we are holding on to our sense of self as well as our strong emotions and limited conceptions. This means our practice is not really coming along.
