  That is really a big philosophical question, which has been asked through the centuries. Who am I. Do we really know who we are? I have often wondered about this but at this moment I don't, I just do what I have to do. Just like in the movies a man has to do what a man has to do.
  
  But honestly it is very healthy to think about this from time to time. Thank you for bringing this up.

  Okay, just to say that this question is going right over my head and I have no idea!!  Perhaps we can talk about this one day ;-)

  quiet- What am I when I don't? - smart enough to steer clear of philosophy. 

• bluegum said on Mar 22, 2008....

  ,i have an inkling of what it means, but to give a reasonable answer would be my greatest achivement with a pen imho.

• rupert7 said on Mar 22, 2008....

  quiet.... I don't really know but i suppose I am not what I should be?

• lfbno7 said on Mar 22, 2008....

  our amnesia is the most frustrating thing. we don't remember who we are.

• quietone said on Mar 22, 2008....

  skald ~ I just read it in a book that I was reading, and thought it pretty interesting question. 

• quietone said on Mar 22, 2008....

  polar ~ well, it is almost over my head too! Yes, we can talk sometime soon.  :)

• quietone said on Mar 22, 2008....

  beyond ~ now after all your questions on that subject??  I thought for sure you'd have a good answer for this one... probably one that I wouldn't even understand anyhoo! 

• quietone said on Mar 22, 2008....

  bluegum ~ it was just more or less a "thought" post anyway... gives me something to think about anyway.

• quietone said on Mar 22, 2008....

  rupe ~ awe, I wouldn't say that... you are a kind man.

• quietone said on Mar 22, 2008....

  Lbno ~ amnesia is sometimes a convenience!  LOL  Its as good as selective hearing.

• botoni said on Mar 22, 2008....

  I believe the answer is ...You are what you do do. ( I know thats a shitty answer.)

• wakingharmony said on Mar 22, 2008....

  I think you are always what you are at any given moment.

• fallenangel12 said on Mar 23, 2008....

  I hope you wont find it intrusive of me to comment on this.
  Changes. Since everything changes, we go along with it, more often than not, forgetting what we are and what we truly want out of our lives.
  Temporary lapse of sanity, is what I say. It takes a lot of reflection before we could actually get back to our old selves.

• rupert7 said on Mar 23, 2008....

  M M &I.......... I am here and I am real,you know I am always happy to talk with you! You are a bonzer sheila and don't ever think otherwise!

• quietone said on Mar 23, 2008....

  botoni ~ I don't believe there are any shitty answers. 

• quietone said on Mar 23, 2008....

  waking ~ this is true.  Its like the saying where ever I am there I will be.

• quietone said on Mar 23, 2008....

  fallenangel ~ Of course I would not find any comment intrusive. welcome.  I  can honestly say that I would not want to go back to my "old self". 

• quietone said on Mar 23, 2008....

  rupe ~ hello?  there really is an MM&I, I know but it isn't me.  LOL  I didn't see her come in.. I musta missed her.  and she is "bonzer shella"

• diabolicdame said on Mar 23, 2008....

  Well.. I'm gonna have to go think over that.. But the closest I can get to an answer is what you said above.. That where ever I am, there I will be.
  

• quietone said on Mar 23, 2008....

  diabolic ~ that is the way I feel most of the time, because I learn so much every day, I am never the "same".

• Ombrelle said on Mar 23, 2008....

  What if I am NOT what I do and I only do what I do to survive?

• beyondtheveil said on Mar 23, 2008....

  quiet- Yea, but wonder is one thing - taking a simple word and arguing for decades about it is another. That's when I part company. They will take apart the word "is" for fifty years. 

• andora said on Mar 23, 2008....

  if you would like to recreate yourself read www.pangasm.org. Creating our future through orgasm is the reason I own 150 million dollars worth of prime farm land without having paid a cent...yes, I own it, no I don't ever have to leave. So I came here to offer some solid information that will get anyone out of this miasma that you all are still subject to. Too good to be true? Don't let me hear any of you cast positive thinking around if you don't also believe in miracles. these days I do what I want, go to the beach, plant tree's, dance at a drum circle where the whales and dolphins come and wave their fins at us - this is all real and I came from a single mom household, raised three children by myself (not willing to put up with willful ignorance!) and have never made any real money from my creative endeavors, even tho I am a master watercolorist, semi-professional dancer, permaculturist and designer! yes, this still pisses me off, I feel like a loser when it comes to money, but the truth is I hate this monetary system - it makes whores out of everyone (even the rich) - this is why I have accepted my strange relation to money - because I have aligned my heart with what i love, therefore I no longer attract to me that which I hate or that which hates me. loneliness is only temporary and now that I have a farm I will get a dog:) yehaw!
  
  When I try to spread this good news I get treated like some kind of freak...but I continue to try because I actually love people and know that 99% of you are love incarnate that were fed a bunch of bullshit about what is true. Check me out at youtube under pangasm. who wants to live in paradise alone? not I? who wants to work at meaningless tasks for money? not i. I have revolutionary information and am getting really pissed off that people refuse to step out of their graves to consider some REAL PHILOSOPHY that offers some REAL SOLUTIONS. shit!@#$%^&YU**I(O)

• quietone said on Mar 23, 2008....

  beyond ~ yes, I agree that "they" can argue about anything any time for any length because "they" all want to be right.  I would part company there myself!  Or at least excuse myself from conversation. I wonder about a lot of things but don't like to argue about any of it.  Thanks beyond. 

• quietone said on Mar 23, 2008....

  andora ~ I have learned you cannot shove something down someones throat just because you or I believe so strongly in it.  We all have our own journey at our own speed through this life, some take different roads is all. 

• crybabylu said on Mar 23, 2008....

  To complex for me to say right now, quiet....but you did give me something to think about.

• papajack said on Mar 23, 2008....

  I am no different than what I do.   I am the same person all the time!

• queenparanoia said on Mar 24, 2008....

  i dunno... this question hurts my head... lol... =)

• lfbno7 said on Mar 24, 2008....

  I'm an eternal soul with amnesia, stuck in a body I don't want to be stuck in, on a planet I'm sick and tired of, and feeling homesick.

• quietone said on Mar 24, 2008....

  cry ~ it is pretty complex, but not really when you pick it apart.  thanks

  papajack ~ It sometimes amazes how people can just "be the same"  I am forever changing and growing.  thanks.

  queenie ~ it does hurt the head when you try to concentrate on an answer!  LOL  it will be okay! hehe

  Lbno ~  you answer is about the closest to what I had in my mind... now imagine that!  we are all energy, all connected, this body is just a vesel we borrow to get around while on this earth.. which is also just a mass of energy.. we are a part of a something so huge that I don't think we would even comprehend it, in this life.  Thanks lbno. 

• hotaka said on Mar 24, 2008....

  I'm the person I might have been had I been that kind of person.

• wombat said on Mar 24, 2008....

  Maybe I will have an answer tomorrow....ha.   Later!

• quietone said on Mar 24, 2008....

  hotaka ~ haha... perfect answer.
   
  wombie ~  :)  maybe you will

• andora said on Mar 24, 2008....

  now I understand your response to me quietone, you lust for freedom from a body you do not love. I offer life indefinitely in a body on Earth through the principle of panGasm and, as well, creating what one desires through the life-force of orgasmic energetics (works for me), so of course you would feel as though I was shoving something down your throat! Life everlasting isn't for everyone. Living in a body on Earth isn't for everyone, thank-goodness for that, cuz there is a whole lot of folks who have died already, yet have failed to fall over. 

• quietone said on Mar 25, 2008....

  andora ~ oh, I don't say I don't love my body I have now.  I am just saying it is a means of transport for now.  When my body dies, I will go on.  So see I feel I am not what I do nor am I what I don't do... I just am in the now here.
