There is really only One 'Self' in Life. ALL of the other PRESUMED 'selves' are just PRETENSION people pretending to be some thing that they are NOT. Hello Age, what do you think about my idea of self as an undivisable part of matter (fundamental particle) ? I think 'your idea' is 'missing the mark...

After the issue of self as a fundamental particle, I want to get to issue of self awareness in humans before getting to machines.

If you have defined a self, what is self awareness?

Hello Age, what do you think about my idea of self as an undivisable part of matter (fundamental particle) ?

When you describe a self, you are going to reside with it, live with it, and see and preceive yourself as that. In life our body changes all the time. If we can find ourselves as something stable that we are and we going to be, and we are happy with this self, it is a peace of mind I suggest. I find...

In my post a clear description of self spiritually, philosophically and even physically is presented. One can attend self even physically according to my definition. But I can't find a clear definition of self to attend in your description. Or maybe it is more complicated than I can understand with ...

From the discussions I have heard, some atheists say we are our brains, and that is what our self is, our brain as a whole. On the other side some theists say we are more than just our brains, there is more to our selves than only our brains. What I am presenting as a self here is a very small piece...

If "Nothing" is the thing to worry about, then there's nothing to worry about! Leave "Nothing" out and don't leave anything out. In other words leave nothing out.

I think it's a great perspective to suggest loving yourself as the best way to follow God. After all, if God is almighty and not needy, then he must want us to be happy and love ourselves as he loves us. I also appreciate your thoughts on the nature of reality and consciousness. It's a very philoso...

Thank you for your ideas. Let me explain my idea of being a fundamental particle more too. A fundamental particle is an indivisible part of matter. It is next to nothing; any thing smaller than that seizes to exist. Then as an indivisible part of universe, one can not have more than one thing to do,...

But I call myself a fundamental particle inside my brain. I don't know what you call yourself exactly.

The Beloved.

Empty Fullness.

Nothing & Everything.

Fine. I understand.

But opposite mutual needs are not just dreams. Ofcourse there are dilutions and hallucinations. But even they are not completely dreams. There is reality in them too. One thinks that there is some control to dreams, but some realities we have no control in. Reality is likened to a dream. Where noth...

You are pointing as everything out going inward to one. And I am pointing to one going outward to everything. There is neither Out nor In. Out / In, where is that? ...notice you cannot point to either? But I have a cause with opposite mutual needs. Which makes it so much fun. And the diversity in t...

Well, sorry. I didn't mean to cast out anything. I thought maybe it would be opposed by others to discuss discrete and continuous which is a official discussion in philosophy in religion forum. Then you should have said it would be ''opposed'' and not said it (''does not belong'') cuz by saying it ...

And one thing. As love that is usually called (sex), there are opposite needs. Dualities with mutual needs are that way. Same with animals and green plants, and matter and energy. Sometimes opposite mutual needs are necessary for Love. And that is just more of the dream of The Beloved. The Absolute...

I don't know what you mean by hunger to belong. I meant to say discrete or continuous doesn't belong to forum about religion. About continuous or not, I disagree with you. My reason for one thing is discrete and continuous are themselves two opposite things. And opposite things are discrete from ea...
