If you can believe in your real beginning, you will knowthyself.

 Knowing thyself is said to be the main way of gainingknowledge. 

I took my wife time travelling, mentally that is, the othernight, from our present time, down to where she first became aware of herselfas alive.  Her “I am” moment. 

At her present time, I had her admit that she was workingtowards her best possible end to her life. Just as I and all those who are readingthis do. We do this perpetually and constantly.

I then had her follow her timeline back to her beginning,having to admit that her best end was always her prime focus, as it is with alllife. Amendment. She agreed to all times except for the “I am”. I don’t knowwhat to make of this lack of logic after following a plain logic trail. Thisaside.

 “I am”, read that as “you and I”, is quite selfish.Universal this in life.  

Some thank God. I thank nature and my God, I am, should he/Iend in being real.

We are all expressed by our DNA and chemistry. It produces amaterial dualism that has most of us thinking in a body soul way. 95%.

What is the best end to our bodies, given that our DNA istelling us we are the best of breed?
 
Read that as King or Queen, or Alpha/Beta in our physicalanimal reality. 

What is the best end for our bodies and souls is that weshould try to become leaders of humans?

Reflective self-awareness emerges between 15 and 18 months of age when children begin to match their own facial and/or body movements with the image of themselves in a mirror, exhibiting mirror self-recognition.

Perhaps it is not that important to us, at that level as our other instincts are at play.

We are all expressed by our DNA and chemistry.

Do you see the instincts expressed/produced by a younger baby as a part of self awareness?

I would argue that it is, as we default to cooperation and love/suckling, and not hate/biting the tit. Way before your estimate.

the virtue of being self aware is lacking in society, and just in general, general awareness is lacking

I would suggest that:

We are all defined by our DNA and chemistry.

DNA will also possess default survival information.

Awareness relative to environment is acquired data, which needs to be understood before it can be applied.

My DNA is strange too.
My only complaint is a somewhat oversized but still usable dick.
I don't know if I like being this smart either.

 You can use it to satisfy women. I know they say size doesnt matter, but the reality is that size does matter.

Well, dont beat yourself up over it. Its not your fault. Its genetic lottery's fault.

I am not into such dumbness and seek smart people.

There are a lot of intelligent people here but few smart ones. Here, intelligent I mean as ability to learn and smart as the ability to apply what is learned.

If you see the concept of the O.P. in you, you will see it in all, and know that all here are the best thinkers they can be given their history. This is irrefutable.

Size, indeed matters.
I have a friend who married the wrong size and it ruined her life both mentally and physically.
When love ignores size, shrug?

As to satisfaction in sex by anyone, male or female, research shows that orgasm begins in the mind, and that it can be triggered regardless of size, shape or location of friction.
In fact, contact or friction is not required for orgasm.
We can all squeeze one out without it.

2 inches is very displeasing to look at.

I am not gay, but even I like to see big dick.

GnosticChristianBishop,

YOUR UNGODLY QUOTE IN FRONT OF THE MEMBERSHIP!!!:  "As to satisfaction in sex by anyone, male or female, research shows that orgasm begins in the mind, and that it can be triggered regardless of size, shape or location of friction.  In fact, contact or friction is not required for orgasm.  We can all squeeze one out without it."

How dare you go directly against Jesus' inspired words shown below with your Gnostic Christian "gutter talk" the way you have done!

"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving. For you may be sure of this, that everyone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (that is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. ..." (Ephesians 5:1-33)

What did we expect from a Hell Bound Gnostic Pseudo-Christian like you, shameful!


NEXT BIBLE FOOL PSEUDO-CHRISTIAN LIKE "GNOSTICCHRISTIANBISHOP" THAT IS OBVIOUSLY LONELY AT THE TOP BECAUSE OF HIS OUTRIGHT "BIBLE DUMBNESS" AS SHOWN, WILL BE ...?

Are you now working for your best possible end at this point in time?

When did you begin doing that?

If you can believe in your real beginning, you will knowthyself.
What do you mean "real beginning"? Do you mean when your body was formed? Or perhaps conceived? Or can you go back further than conception? Or are you talking about self-awareness? Or self-awareness that has memory? Can we have self-awareness without memory?  (Yes, you suggested it was that moment when you become self-aware.  But why is that important? How does that help?) 

How will knowing your "real beginning" help you to know thyself? 

How do we test such a thing?  And isn't the idea of travelling back to some time in the past, really just hypnotism?  Power of suggestion and not necessarily accurate on most levels? 

And what does it mean to be "working towards your best possible end to life?  And how do you know if are doing that or is that just a presumption that all are doing so? 

Can someone not be doing so? 


And why is it important that we know ourselves?  Surely, no one else is ever going to know us as well as we do? Except perhaps God?  

Are you ULTIMATELY suggesting that the best end to life is the desirable outcome and we can only know this satisfactorily if we also know our beginning?  Does this have to do with the circle of life? 

Thanks for the OP.  It gives food for thought. I am just trying to understand its purpose.

Do they have waterfalls in Oz?

No globally famous one's come to mind.

Yep, a nice warm tropical one adorned with nubile Asian cuties...Now that would be a beautiful end.

Always check for Ladyboys though...Unless of course.


Grease fires...Never considered death by grease fire.

Is that an Aussie phenomenon.


Phenomenon always takes me two attempts.

That's a phenomenon.

GnosticChristianBishop,

Your cohort Miss Tradesecret in being as Bible Stupid as you are as shown in my post #15, has once again slapped our serial killer Christian God Jesus in the face as shown in her insipid quote below;

MISS TRADESECRET UNGODLY SAID: "And why is it important that we know ourselves?  Surely, no one else is ever going to know us as well as we do? Except perhaps God?" 

Of course without question Jesus as God knows knows everything about us, and she slaps Jesus in the face when she used the word "Perhaps He does" which is not an absolute that He does as shown in the following passages!

"To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. ... " (Psalm 139:1-3)

For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything." (1 John 3:20)



GnosticChristianBishop, if you can in the future, please try and not be as Bible ignorant as Miss Tradesecret, because a certain membership is getting tired of correcting these Bible fools all the time, okay?  Thank you.

Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discussevents; small minds discuss people.

Do not be so small minded.

"being as Bible Stupid as you are "

This is typical. Criticize, without showing what is being criticized or spoken of. 

Grow your puny mind and then perhaps we will both know what you are talking about.

That is our best end, right?
