Post #258, "What Makes Me What I Am?"

What makes me what I am?

What makes you what you are?

What makes Self what Self is?

What is that quality of identification that defines Self?

By what does Self know Self?
And by what does Self know that which is not Self?

How is Self Aware of Self from Other?

 

In Awareness, Self has Choice.

Self Chooses what makes Self Self and what makes Other Other,

OR,

Self Chooses what Makes Self Self and Chooses not to be Aware of Other.
Self Removes Other.from Awareness.

Choice: Self is Aware of Self and Other.

Self and Other Exist.

Self and Other exist Singularly.

Self and Other exist Singularly as individual, independent Entity.

Self and Other Exist

Self and Other ARE.

Self and Other do not exist to Become what is not.

Self does not Desire To Become Other.

Other, obviously, does not Desire to Become Self

because if so, Self and Other would become terribly confused as to who or what each

Is.

Choice: Self Chooses what makes Self Self, and Chooses to not be Aware of Other.
Self is Aware of Self.
Self denies Other.
Only Self exists.
Self Desires Other's Essence to be Validated as Self
Self therefore, needs Other to be Self
Self divides Self and in it-Self, creates Self and Other, out of Self.
Thereby, Self violates it-Self and Looses the Self and Other of Reality,
and creates out of it-Self a reality of Image.
Self Looses Self and Looses Reality.
Self Creates Self-of-Self and Self Creates Other-of-Self.
Self-of-Self and Other-of-Self Become Images,
----become Pretense of what was and create 'Becoming'.
in creating 'Becoming/Future', Time beats its first tick
Creation is in Process.
Creation has begun----
and Creation will end.
 

It would seem that there must be some intangible unidentifiable 'something'

that identifies Self and Other and is yet, interchangeable and is capable

of altering identity.

This 'something' is Essence.

Essence is the quality of Identity.

Identity has everything to do with Awareness.

Consciousness is Aware.

Consciousness Chooses, for Choosing is the action of Consciousness.

Consciousness Chooses.

Therefore 'What does Consciousness Choose'?

 

Consciousness Chooses its Identity.
This Identity can only be from it-Self and Other.
This Identity can only be from Awareness of Self and Other.
Obviously, we can only approach this for understanding, from the perspective of Self.
Self knows Self through self-awareness.
Self does not have self-awareness of Other.
Self, therefore, is Aware of Other either through Observation or Perception.
Observation or Perception of Other is through Self.
How does Self Observe or how does Self Perceive?
As this is Choice, there must be a Divided out-come.
Consciousness must Divide it-Self over its action of Choosing.
There must be parts of Consciousness that Choose to Observe and parts of  Consciousness
that Choose to Perceive.

We can see from this how Identity presents itself.
Is Self an Observer or is Self a Perceiver?
Do we Observe in some cases and perceive in some others?
Are we Observers or are we Perceivers?
Do we see things as they are, or do we see things through our-Self.
In other words, not as it is, but as we see it.
-----or, it is not as it is, but as Self see it.
All this is Identity, and way outside of our way of seeing, not what is, but what we
interpret it to be,
-----by the way---this is way beyond the science of genetics and environment.

What makes us what we are?
Better yet, what makes us what we Desire to Become?
Other has everything to do with what we desire and what we desire to become.
It is only Other that provides an alternative.
If we are not Self or content with being Self, we can only look to Other for---------------
For What??
For what Other is or Other has that we do not.
Basically this is a feeling that we, that Self is not what we Desire to Be.
So we Desire To Become.
We Desire to Become what Other Is or Desire what Other has.
What Other has is the Essence of Otherness.
Self Desires the Essence of Otherness to Become the fulfillment of its Dreams
and Desires
Being that the fulfillment of Desire can only occur in a through a process, again, the
tick of Time, beginning that it may end, a beginning driving itself to its ending.
That which desires removes the 'To Be' of Reality, of Observation,
and Creates a dimension that begins and ends seeking a fulfillment. not of What Is but of What may be-------creating a dimension that can only be Perceived through Dreaming and Desire.

Self Dreams and Self Desires, not To Be what it Is ,
but To Become what it Is Not.
What we Perceive, we tend to bring into our Awareness of and with our-Self.
We seek to be 'one' with whatever seems related in any way to our 'Process of achieving what we Perceive as Perfection.
If someone or something suggests a step to Perfection, Self Desires unity with it.
Self seeks to absorb it into it-Self.
Self Desires it, Self Dreams of possessing it.
Yet this Perceived source of Perfection is not seen in Self but in Other. Self seeks Other
to fulfill its Perception of it-Self.
Self seeks to absorb the Essence of Other.
The absorption of the Essence of Other is Perceived by Self as necessary for Perfection.
Essence is the source of Power, the source of Energy to achieving Perfection.
What Self fears and Desires in Other is the Essence of what is Perceived as Perfection.
Self Perceives Perfection and then fears the Essence of Other as possessing more that it-Self.  

Does this Desire make Other a friend or an enemy?
So far, Desire has made many enemies,
and if it would make a friend, it would be of short duration, lasting only until Other was emptied
of the Desired Essence and this would be absorbed by Self into Self.
Other would be Annihilated as is Reality.
After all, only 'One' can be Perfect, because we all really know that Perfection only exists in comparison.
