How 'imperfect' are you?
    #23973869 - 01/01/17 06:40 PM (7 years, 29 days ago)

What's one thing you would like to improve about yourself?

I'm starting to feel more sophisticated in life but I'm also meeting and talking to more sophisticated people too. With that said there are a lot of intelligent and respectable views of the world around us that don't all necessarily agree.

Recent events in the 2016 US election cycle have provided a decent example of how divisive one nation can be, and how divisive the human mind can be.

For me my self improvement would come from practicing awareness to draw back in the moment to be more critical and less rash in my decision making.

I like this idea of exposing the ego by saying how imperfect I am, but I also realize this is another act of the ego to one-up itself and other egos.
"My ego is so strong it can say how imperfect it is." Whereas most egos are on the level where they cannot say anything questionable about themselves.

So if I partake in saying how imperfect I am, I just strengthen my own ego.

Fuck you ego.
(shit, this is a third level of ego, attempting to circumvent the system and looking cool doing it.)

I don't know what to do.
I am imperfect.

:lol:

(^ 4th level of ego)

I attribute most of my pain in life to brain issues, not the way I'm thinking or behaving. If you want to excel then your thinking and behaviour comes into it, but if you just want to survive, happy, reasonable, okay, it's only the brain that will stop you.

That has a lot to do with growing, if you're one of the smarter people in the room, then you need to surround yourself with new people that make you want to grow, and challenge you.

There is not one thing I would like to improve about myself, there are many things. Different pursuits tend to sharpen different aspects of oneself. Its important to be well rounded.

You blame your disturbing emotions on your brain?

For me, my disturbing emotions come from my thinking.

These days it's popular to blame our brain for our problems.

But a brain never once made a "problem". We create problems.

I don't know what to do.
I am imperfect.





If an ego was strong I don't think it would question itself.

I often question whether or not I'm scientifically illiterate.

I'm not sure if this is offensive to anyone but I think technology is a pretty good example of the power of knowledge.

I don't think my ego is strong.

I think it's somewhat adaptive.

My heart is somewhat adaptive because I believe my ego is my heart.
My ID is my gut and my super ego is my brain.

I think I've reinterpreted the concept of 7 human Chakra's into a Tripartite model of 3 nerve impulse generating centres that take form in humans as the rational brain, the emotional heart and instinctive intestines. As for karma I think Erwin Schrodinger explained it better with the idea of negative entropy and the storing of energy throughout the lifespan of an organism.

There's a question on my mind.

The ego thrives on the feeling of imperfection and perfection.

The ego supports the grandiose narcissistic and the self-loathing depressionist.

A heartbeat in my view is imperfect perfection and the foundation of my life, for without it I'd be dead.

And what is your motivation to label it imperfect or perfect?

Do you have the urge to qualify the nature of a rain shower?

My motivation is to abandon my desire to "know" the absolute truth about anything.

And I've spent the last 25 years as a plant biologist doing research    :laugh:

Oh definitely we can have some unhealthy thoughts.

But much of the time it's actually the brain creating a whole structure of cognition that is inaccurate at deciphering reality, through chemical or structural problems. That's why we're having the thoughts.

I'm not being materialist. I think consciousness can intervene on brain structure quite a lot, especially through meditation.

How my thinking is imperfect:

"Man's freedom rests on the fact that our thinking is not real unless it becomes pure thinking. A reflection in a mirror cannot make anything happen. When you look at something that is just a mirror picture and react to it, it has not really exercised any compulsion on you. If your thinking contained reality, you could not be free. The fact that your thoughts are only pictures makes your life between birth and death a schooling in freedom. For thinking exercises no compulsion, and a free life must be one in which no First Causes operate."

Rudolf Steiner on His Book "The Philosophy of Freedom"
