• My writing
    Bitter Crank,
    I failed creative writing because I could not be creative. With general writing, I get by. I am thinking about just writing with a pen on paper. No editing no critiquing. The editing on this forum is good; it by itself has told me much about writing. I just want to be understood. For a while I wrote by e-mail without grammar of any sort and which I called it rattling. To this day I still rattle which means no editing not critiquing, but the editor is right with my spelling. Curious.
  • Leibniz: Every soul is a world apart
    I guess "every soul is a world apart", if you will, because self-awareness is sort of private?
    I don't experience your self-awareness, you don't experience mine, we can't (unless we become the other) - we're apart (in that respect).
    Self-awareness is essentially indexical, a kind of self-knowledge, and bound by ontological self-identity, like a kind of noumena.
    Perhaps, by Leibniz, self-awareness is (implicitly or explicitly) integral to "soul", and thus inherently private (in part)? — jorndoe Well said. curious

    How does the body consciousness work, with the mind as well or by itself? What is a multilayered being? curious

  • Leibniz: Every soul is a world apart
    I am perplexed by the mind-body thought. I lean toward the mind being the consciousness of the body but yet the body might have a consciousness of its own? curious
  • Dialogue on the Christian Religion
    I am a Christian and was touched by God three times. I judge no one but learn from them their understand of yes or no there's a God. What works for one person might not work all, there's opinion and what that person believes, I argue not. I am interested in that person's knowledge alone. curious
  • An analysis of emotion
    I want to believe that I have a mind or ego if you wish that is me. It contains me and all that I know. I have my doubts where my emotions come from, maybe my heart or my mind? curious
