Remember

The word "Philosophy" is derived from the Ancient Greek - philosophía (compounded from phílos: friend, or lover and sophía: wisdom). To quote from WikiPedia, "Philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of what is the right way to live (ethics), what sorts of things ultimately exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics), what is to count as genuine knowledge (epistemology), and what are the correct principles of reasoning (logic).

But, isn't who we are, the person we have become? Or are you saying that we aren't what we have become because who we are never changes, so we can't better ourselves, or improve oursleves?

It means some people want to become someone rather than be who they truly are. Whether through peer pressure or pressure from family, we are sometimes driven to be and do things we do not always want. Some parents for instance allow their wants to be their child's wants rather than letting them live by their own heart. Some who failed to achieve the things they wanted in this life, put it on their children to accomplish the things they thought they wanted of themselves. And so rather than living by our hearts, many succumb to the world around us, often living unhappy lives despite seemingly having everything this life could provide.

So when I say remember yourself, it means, remember who you truly are within your heart. You are more than just your wants and dreams. You are more than this physical body. You are more than your spirit. You are more than your soul. Accept who you are, that you may find your true self.

I don't know what possessed dear one to write this but ex lax might help. Problem though?? What do we do with the clothes?  :smt002  Maybe we are a center of consciousness and from that vantage point, it looks like it's us but it isn't us. Center of consciousness term is a much safer for those who may be a tad crazy like me.  :smt003

Girl walks, and sits down and says, I'm a chicken and the doctor says yes you are, for you are all you believe yourself to believe. Also, please save me some eggs.

So many tree's that I can't see the forest. Can't see the tree because I'm to busy examining the branches. You don't know me.  :smt015

There comes a point when the seeker no longer tries to become that which he desires and it is at this point, that he becomes that.

AND NOW THAT YOU ARE HE AND HE IS YOU, IT WOULD BE FOOLISH TO THINK YOUR DOING SOMETHING TO JIM, OR TAKING SOMETHING FROM JIM, OR ASK JIM ANY QUESTIONS. WHATEVER YOU DO UNTO ANOTHER YOU ONLY DO TO YOURSELF.
