January 13, 2007 - Where does life begin, really? |
| Before you're born, you are snuggled and cared for in God's bassinet until the day you announce your arrival, sounding off like Gabriel's horn under the lights of Broadway. Everything changes and your new life begins. At some point, your child-simple mind realizes you are a seperate self apart from your mom and dad. A new view of the world comes to you, everything changes and a new life begins. Later still, you turn back to see how far you've paddled from the security of home, and you register that distance with amazement while realizing you can stand on your own two feet. You decide to go further and a new life begins. You look around this new place and find someone just like yourself to share the journey with. Circumstances change and a new life begins. One day, you wake up to find you are God's bassinet. Your world is completely transformed in ways you could never dream, and a new life begins. You hear Gabriel's horn and see the lights of broadway, you see your child grow and then grow up and you cross your fingers and grab your heart as you watch them paddle so far out from reach. You also smile at the sight because you know where the boat might be going. So now, you are standing watch from a distance and you realize you are a seperate self apart from your child, a new view of the world comes to you, everything changes and a new life begins. |

January 13, 2007 - Separate selves |
| Posted by Anonymous |
Yep, I hear the whole separate selves message. Although it's a hard big horse pill to swallow. Realizing your child came from you, yet is a unique independent being responsible for their own actions. But wait! That means with their independence, you are no longer held accountable for their actions and thoughts, good or bad. Maybe that horse pill just got a gel coating? :)

January 15, 2007 - when do you know? |
| Posted by bgillock |
That was a cool way of describing the milestones of life.
Some think you achieve consciousness when you are conscious of your existance. Basically identifying yourself as a distinct entity in your world. That is a milestone similar to or before you realize you are separate from your mom and dad. You have to know about "you" first.
They say consciousness is learned, but the origin of consciousness is genetically encoded in the linguistic center of your brain. How ironic that you have expressed this consciousness of the never ending circle using your excellent linguistic parts of your brain.
