Hi.

In this thread I will be investigating what is it that we are.

I'll only be posting here between 8 and 9 am. It's my window of opportunity! 

I will be relaxing and being my natural self here and I invite everyone and anyone else to come here and do the same.

I am going to post what I observe about my consciousness outside of these times .

you watch me.  Oh I broke the rules. After today then. How in the world did you spot the thread?!

Im reading a psychology book called Games People Play by Eric Berne, and in it it says we all play the part of child, adult or parent in our relationships i.e. We still act like we would have as a child sometimes, or copy what a parent would have done, or act as an adult when we work things out for ourselves. Thats as far as i've got.

Yeah I went onto an adapting behaviour course and heard about this . Adult , parent or child . There's something to it . I know a senior manager that talks to a manager like she's about two and the manager talks like a two year old . It's just incredible .

I'd like to talk about a couple of things . Firstly I'd like to give people an idea of what I mean .

Well what makes a person ? What makes us us? Religion, thought , consciousness . How does it all fit together ? Is free will a fact or a fantasy ? To sum up , what are we ?

Secondly I'd like to talk a little about how things are for me .

I've learned that what's healthy is not to worry . Just be my natural self . I'm going to do that here . I'm going to stick to posting times to allow my wife to be comfortable with my internet time but once I'm here I'm just going to relax and be me . I'm not following any rules . If the thread is taken down so be it and if I'm muted I'll accept that .

I think I'll be okay though because I genuinely don't mean any harm to anyone at all .
tomtrytostay
So I'd like to make something else clear too . Everyone and anyone is welcome to post here and any contribution at all is welcome . I trust and value people .

I want you all to know that you can be your natural self with me and you can trust me because I am not a malicious person . All contributions are welcome and don't worry about going off topic because what we are naturally comes into focus again after looking at what we are from different perspectives .

I have a couple of ways of looking at what we are . The first is just talking about it with you guys . The second just observing what I am . I plan to write what I see when I observe here .

I tried looking into the science I found that all I got was a very high overview which was everything is natural (not divine ) .

I have to say though if when I observe I find that I was wrong about that I'll admit it .

People might think you are asking what are we between 8 and 9 am, i.e. Half asleep.

tomtrytostay
I knew someone would say that and you stated that position wonderfully . I will stick to those times but I just wanted to introduce everyone to the thread . I hope you'll have a continued involvement Fh as you are bright and funny and gentle . Thank you .

"I'll only be posting here between 8 and 9 am. It's my window of opportunity! 

what Meridian time ? Greenwich or Paris, F ?

I'm interested in what we are in two ways . Firstly the structure . So for example you could say we are a mixture of beliefs and thoughts . Chemicals and cells .

You could also say we have territorial instincts , a tendency to lean on the supernatural when we are frightened or lack purpose or knowledge .

So two levels there and I'm interested in them both .

I don't care about which particular belief people have more just the way we are made up . An overview if you like .
tomtrytostay
Ah good point. 8 am till 9 am !
tomtrytostay
Fb that's really technical . Gmt.

Welcome my friend .
tomtrytostay
What really really interests me and why I am here is I want to get what our spirit is . What our soul is . Even if like me you take the view everything is natural (not divine) we love , we seek beauty , we care . It's those things that make our lives worthwhile and make what we are worthwhile and it's those things that fascinate me .
tomtrytostay
So in finishing my opening . I haven't any rules , except my posting time , and I'm not setting you guys any rules either . Whatever you want to say you're welcome to .

I have one thing I'd like to say though . If you do want to quote someone else then please post a link because I'd like everyone to be able to follow what people are saying and I want to be able to interact with people directly .
