   A proponent of the view that we are essentially persons in the present sense, however, may hold that practical considerations—such as the impossibility of drawing a clear line between sentient persons and sentient nonpersons, and the potential for abuse of the elderly—recommend the capacity for consciousness as the only safe line to draw, thereby vindicating the higher-brain view (Engelhardt 1996, 250). Meanwhile, other proponents of the view that we are essentially persons (e.g., Bartlett and Youngner 1988) apparently hold that any member of our species who retains the capacity for consciousn…

   And even the people who derived these patterns like Jung to begin with let's say looked cross-culturally at least to say well here's here's a manifestation of a pattern and here's a separate culture and you can see the same pattern. So there's some attempt there to be methodologically rigorous he did the same thing with people's fantasies and dreams and then again by mapping those on to people's behavior and therapy also had them test out the ideas in the world. So these aren't as trivial methodologically as people make them out to be and especially that's the case when you can put a biologica…

   Human beings are creatures of routine. Even the most spontaneous among us stick to a lot of routines and habits in life. Most habits discussed around health involve diet and exercise for most people. For us, it is *challenging* to try different approaches to the problems in our life.

   Therefore, we could say have any number of representations, some better than others. For example, science had a certain representation of nature in the 19th century. It's got another one in the 20th century, but in the 21st, it may get another one. Right? You see, representations have no special character. They're not sacred or they don't grasp reality exactly as it is. Right? Now, if we think of it that way and I say, well, however I think of you, that is only a representation. However, I think of me or society or of nature, it is only a representation. And we therefore have to be open not on…

   But in terms of what we're doing and whether it's healthy for us is it's different for for we're each and all unique. So, we have to stop and look at ourselves. Like, hey, how's this going for me, right? How am I functioning and is it working for me, right? Is it Am I pausing and thinking enough? Maybe the answer is yes. Maybe the answer is no. Maybe I'm not sure. But But if I'm not happy, let me go back and revisit that question. So, this curiosity of self can lead us to, oh, how am I built to function? Am I functioning in a way that really works for me? If not, why not? What change might I b…

   Then it looks different at a different time, but still is essentially the same. In all these cases we orient according to differences and coherence of existence, and not very reliably at that. I want to show with this shaggy sheep tale that the question of continuous existence throughout different positions and qualities is not easily resolved, and therefore we should be carefully before we discount all talk of "double existence, parallel worlds etc.". Last amended June 11, 1989 -- Page NEXTRECORD 295 Existence is hard to imagine and contradicts with experience and commonsense unless we postul…

   That point might be regarded as a reason to reject the common sense view that when you refer to yourself, and distinguish yourself from someone else, there is something real that you are talking about, or some valid distinction between yourself and others. It might be thought, in other words, that the ordinary distinction between altruistic and egoistic motives is misguided because there are no such things as selves. A third metaphysical possibility is this: human beings cannot be understood one by one, as though each were a self-sufficient and fully real individual. That way of thinking about…

   Even people I went to high school with who weren't public-facing in the traditional sense are putting up pictures of their kids and what they ate and this and the the wins and the losses and it's a very odd thing to do when in fact we evolved for so long just kind of experiencing ourself separate from all the other activities that we were doing and certainly that that other people are doing. In your clinical practice, are you seeing more challenges with people creating separation between kind of aspects of self and aspects of life because of all the the the information coming at them and and m…

   On the other hand the individuals become a way of effect that the reproduction of their own life depends essentially on social cooperation and uncollective service solution. It's this dependence on the shared objective mind, so to say this objective mind also depends on where of the self is an individual mind. Thus, the individual must have encountered the complex social organism simultaneously is exact of an overwhelming force and yet is upon us of a redemptive force. Yet, protects and guarantees survival and security. From the perspective of the individual the power of the collectivity must …

    Do not believe for one minute that you can not change your life when you take back control of how you think about things. Sometimes we can’t help people because we remain blind to what we don’t know.
