Vormotus, It's a hypothetical. I suppose I haven't really sat down and made a concrete rationalization about it. I suppose deep down inside I may actually feel like I'm impure or satanic or aberrant some. Is that simply because I've heard it so much echoed outside though? I still make a distinction from my self and higher self and the self that is the "everything". I haven't chosen to focus all my attention to the whole self at the expense of my classical self. I've kinda explored all these concepts, but I'm unwilling to really hold on to one over the other. As a mortal being with a sense of individuality, I take that into account. Because here I am. I have this one life to live, at least from this perspective. Sorry for the morbid thoughts. Part of it has to do with analyzing my own free will. Whatever is embodied here, physically in me, what I've learned and think, we all take in our environments. So how much of "me" is really me, and how much is all that pagan or satanic symbolism that is so pervasive throughout our society, in advertising, in designs, DC is amazing. It's full of external stuff architecurally, and in layout that people absorb, but don't realize. It ties into the nature vs nurture argument. Which are we? We are a bit of the divine, the pure, abomination, our environment, a mixture of everything. It's how we are connected. It's an abtract way of looking at the world or self I think. No one is simply just a product of their environment. No one is entirely trapped by their nature. It's basic to settle on one or the other and just surrender our entire perspective and consciousness to a singular ideal. Even God is presented in a complex way. I think the idea is to follow this example, and I think even Jesus is an embodiment of this. | ||||
