Who Are You?

[JustGeorge]

Yeah, sure. Some unenlightened, some enlightened. Both Brahman along with their Brahman pets, since there is nothing other than Brahman.
Some Indians always address other people as 'Brahman' instead by name or calling 'you'. Quite endearing, shows respect to other people, sometimes also fun.Yeah, that is a good answer, Brahman.Those who fight are stuffed animals, stuffed with various things.

I can see how that would be fun...

"I sit in my Brahman house with my Brahman cats, and eat my Brahman food..."

But not so much as to become a Brahman stuffed animal, I hope.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Any stuff is Brahman, including stuffed animals.

You'd be surprised on most people assuming they need pants... Seen a man awhile back shopping at the Family Dollar without them. He did have on boxers, and honestly, with as many problems as that store seemed to attract a quiet shopper who forgot his pants probably wasn't that troublesome for staff.

So, one time when I was shopping at Super Target, I saw a young woman in the store who I thought for a second was wearing the tightest brown trousers that I had ever seen. Then, as she turned to a different shopping aisle with her cart, I noticed that she was only wearing two things: a shirt and some boots. As to whether she was wearing a thong or was totally bottomless, I don't know because she was quickly out of sight and I averted my eyes due to the unseemliness. As a heterosexual man, I like the female form, but what that young woman was doing was downright trashy and unattractive.

Wow! I'd expect that at a Wal-Mart, but not a Target! That is... well, exceptional. At least the man at our Family Dollar was covered...

I wonder what goes through their heads.

A virtual construct created by my brain.

The "I" is the brain itself but we create a virtual interface through which the brain experiences reality.
At the same time the brain creates a representation of itself toward which all these experiences are happening.
When we go to sleep or are otherwise unconscious that interface shuts down.

So I am basically a software app that the brain is running while it is conscious.

You are an app that has self-consciousness. I wonder what our IA enthusiasts are doing? Are they just trying to replicate you (and me)?

Any stuff is Brahman, including stuffed animals.

As I see it, any "stuff" is an appearance in Brahman.

"Stuff" is temporary. Brahman is immutable.

Nothing that appears in vyavaharika is mine, including Salix. I'm simply using it for a while.

 

[Aupmanyav]

Agree with you.

 

[Nakosis]

I suppose that will be the ultimate test, whether we can replicate human consciousness.

 

[It Aint Necessarily So]

How did you come to settle in Mexico?

Thanks for asking.

As I alluded, we had become disaffected with American life and began looking at other options around 2004 for our retirement years. The part of Mexico we settled on offered good weather, a beautiful tropical environment, a happy people, and good prices. As I said, it's a simple, uncomplicated existence in a pretty place (not me in the photo).

 

[syo]

Who said I wasn't looking for employees?

That's a bad habit maya have.

 

[an anarchist]

Well, who are you?

Tell me in terms that are meaningful for you, and in ways that match your own worldview or understanding.

There is no wrong answer.

I am immortal! Therefore, all my grand plans will be achieved. I sometimes mistake this with “I’m invincible!” And get myself into a world of hurt

You have a beautiful home...

That's a bad habit maya have.

We've all got a bad habit somewhere...

I am immortal! Therefore, all my grand plans will be achieved. I sometimes mistake this with “I’m invincible!” And get myself into a world of hurt

Immortal and invincible have such a fine line between them...

If you are immortal, that you is also invincible.

Your mistake is likely due to which "I" you are identifying with at the time.

Sometimes it fills me with awe when I realize how many "I's we've been, even in a single lifetime... its so fluid.

 

[HeartNSoul19]

I am in the process of getting to know myself and hope that this process does not stop, for that would be the same as being stagnant in terms of my growth as a human being.

I suspect you won't have to worry about it stopping... for most, as soon as they get to know themselves, they find they change again!

Agreed. Life is that way in many ways... the moment you think you have control something happens to take things out of your control... or you solve the current problem only for the next one to arise.

Who Are You?

I am a son of the almighty
eternal living God most High.
