Life as “me”

Somehow at a young age, we humans begin to feel that we are separate, that we are individual entities, different from others, separate from life. Whether this psychological process of individuation is useful or not, positive or negative is not the point of this article. It happens. Apparently in all humans. But is individuation the end point? Many seem to assume so. Most likely however, individuation is not the end point. The psychological evolution of mankind has not ended, but has only just begun. Simply read the history books…

What does it mean to live as an individual, as a person? Well we all know, but here is a fantasy story;

>> the Two year old

Warmth. Light. The smell of sea, the sand, the sense of wind stroking skin. Colours all around. There is playing with sand. There is the soft noise of the scoop entering the sand and digging. Voices. Voices of people. Children plunging in the water. Everything mixes into a timeless experiencing… Life is mysterious, unknown, open.

>> the Shock

Suddenly there is pain! Eyes are hurting! The strange taste of seawater mixed with sand and blood. There is toppling over, the whole world is turning! Confusion! Strange noises and sound! Crying! Intense pain! Panic!

>> the Contraction

Standing up. Still crying. The body is shaking with anger and fear. Primordial feelings arise: “Life is not safe! Life and people can hurt me. I must defend myself or fight”. I grab the scoop and hit back. It is beginning to get clear now. There is me and there is other! 

>> the Adult

Very important day today. Must make a good impression on the boss. This must work out. No, just relax. Don’t worry. It will go fine. I am sitting here, waiting for the door to open, but soon he will ask me to come and enter his office. I wonder why he asked me to talk to him today? I hope he won’t give me a hard time, like last year. What shall I do, if that happens again? Maybe I should just let him talk and ignore it. Oh no, wait. That did not work out well for me last time. I looked like a fool. I must take my stand and show him that I am the best one for this job. It’s simple. I actually should be promoted to a better position. Really. My colleagues are not up to it. Though I must say that Mary Jane really is smart. Damn, what if she has already talked to him, before I did! I’m a fool, I should have asked for promotion last month! O my god, what will happen if I don’t get this job! Damn, I’m screwed if this does not work out! I am really in a tough situation! My heart is beating fast now. The door opens. There is my boss… I hope it goes well this time…

>> the Old man

My life did not work out as I wanted. I should have made better decisions.  Darn, I feel so unhappy and powerless. I can’t change the past but at the same time I can’t stop thinking about it. Maybe actually it was not my fault! I am not to blame really.  But here I am. I did not get what I wanted to get in my life. It’s OK to feel a bit depressed. Many people in my situation would feel that. Of course I feel bad. I wonder still though what would have happened if…

Becoming an individual (person) and finding our own way in life is perhaps a necessary step in our psychological development, but we are mistaken when we think that it is the last step and the only way to live… There are people who awaken out of this dream that there is a “me entity” who has a real past and a real future, has real problems to solve and is going to get and achieve things. (whether that is money, things, relationships or spiritual goals)

Could the next step in human psychological evolution be the letting go of this belief in “me” as a central “entity”?

Only a few hundred years ago the commonly held belief in religion (and science) was that the entire universe including the sun revolved around the Earth and was specially created for certain humans who belonged to a specific religious group. In those times, to doubt or criticize this, meant punishment, prison or death. Now in the 21st century it is seen how ridiculous and limited that point of view was.

Perhaps in similar fashion, it can be seen how ridiculous and limited the idea (belief) is that life revolves an actual “me” at its centre. The seeing of this illusion does not mean that life ends however. One can safely say that in a way, it is a whole new beginning, but not of anything or for anyone. The mind cannot grasp this. That is why it is Freedom and love.

  1. Very well said. I believe you are correct. With easy access to information long labelled forbidden or arcane by a consumerist/indentured servitude driven establishment that benefited from fostering egoic thought in the populace, we are living through the decay of traditional institutions and the beginning of a new Mystic Age.

  103. Anadrol is a robust compound, and using it responsibly is essential to
    harnessing its advantages successfully. Let’s explore the importance of
    correct dosage and biking when incorporating Anadrol into your
    bodybuilding routine. It is value noting that while Anadrol provides important advantages for endurance and efficiency
    enhancement, it must be used responsibly
    and beneath skilled steering. Due to its potent
    nature, it could also carry potential side effects,
    and its use ought to be accompanied by proper training, vitamin, and relaxation.
    There is no denying that his distinctive energy and colossal achievements place him in a league few
    can reach, naturally or otherwise. But, in a sport where performance-enhancing substances are a continuing shadow, Hall’s silence on the issue leaves room for hypothesis.
    The speedy growth and immense muscular physique of “The Beast”
    only add fuel to the speculations. Yet, it’s important to keep
    in mind that these speculations are simply that—speculations.
    His 500kg deadlift was a major bounce from the earlier document, raising eyebrows and questions.
    In 2010, just two years into his skilled strongman profession, Hall received
    the UK’s Strongest Man title.
    Anadrol works by stimulating the production of purple
    blood cells, a process often known as erythropoiesis. This enhance in red blood cell count results in enhanced oxygen-carrying capacity within the body.
    As a result, muscular tissues receive a larger supply of oxygen during exercises, promoting
    endurance and allowing for extra intense training periods.

    The improved oxygenation helps muscle tissue restore and progress, offering the foundation for substantial gains in dimension and strength.
    Steroids and performance enhancing medicine were not talked about brazenly again then so it took fairly a bit of
    digging online before I started to see that most skilled strongman opponents were not competing naturally.
    These traits, along together with his exhausting work, make him a legend in strongman competitions.
    The report notes that whereas Björnsson was (somewhat) candid
    about his Best Steroid Alternative use,
    he has by no means failed a test throughout competition.
    As the behemoth sport of strongman has not been untouched by the shadow
    of PEDs, each discussion surrounding Brian Shaw and his alleged
    use of such substances should be approached with both skepticism and an open thoughts.

    The weight of proof should ultimately guide opinions and forge a transparent path
    through the cloud of conjecture. It is fascinating
    to observe Ahola and Samuelsson watch each
    othercompete, and to observe others watch them. At a June
    event inHawaii, Samuelsson and Ahola described their respective methodsof selecting up the monstrous 800-pound tire used in the
    tireflip. At the six WSMs during which Kaz competed (besides his three wins,he finished second in ’88 and fourth in ’89), he was a fuming,fussing menace to officials and fellow opponents.
    Even his closest associates on thecircuit did not know till they were advised recently that Kaz’scousin Dick Kazmaier won the 1951 Heisman Trophy as a Princetonhalfback.

    Since I trained and met numerous individuals from the fitness
    trade throughout my career as a fitness coach, I can inform you that it’s
    rare to come throughout somebody with such natural muscular tissues.

    It wasn’t all the time simple, though, and his measurement actually made him a bit of a well being hazard to his friends.

    While grade faculty was full of video games like, “how many classmates can Brian Shaw carry at once,” things started
    to get iffy when he was a teen. The 6-foot-tall seventh grader was pretty much a
    given when it got here time to hash out the
    basketball team’s roster, however he not solely snapped basketball hoops, but he additionally snapped
    his classmates, too … In the world of strength sports activities, the query isn’t just who can raise essentially the most or who can pull
    a double-decker bus the furthest.
    By enhancing nitrogen retention, Primobolan creates an optimum
    surroundings for protein synthesis, permitting the
    muscles to get well and develop more efficiently. This ends in gradual
    and sustainable gains in muscle measurement and strength
    over time. Furthermore, Primobolan is much less likely to cause excessive water
    retention, providing users with a leaner and extra outlined appearance.

    Nevertheless, it is crucial to method Anadrol with duty and caution. Consulting with
    a healthcare skilled or educated coach is important to make sure proper dosage,
    biking, and monitoring of your body’s response. Understanding the potential
    unwanted effects and taking steps to mitigate them through post-cycle therapy and maintaining general well being are equally important.
    It is important to note that Anadrol should be used responsibly
    and underneath the steering of a healthcare skilled.
    As a potent compound, it may carry potential unwanted
    aspect effects, and its use must be accompanied by
    applicable coaching, vitamin, and rest. When it involves endurance and performance enhancement,
    Anadrol provides a spread of advantages that can take your athletic talents to
    the subsequent degree. Originally developed to deal with conditions similar to anemia, Anadrol has gained
    recognition among athletes and bodybuilders due to
    its remarkable effects on endurance, stamina, and general efficiency.

    Its mild nature permits for a extra controlled strategy to realize desired outcomes, with a lowered threat of adverse health
    consequences. I’ve been unable to search out any validated accounts of upper numbers with strict approach all the way until
    1950. Just like people cheated on the overhead press, they also ‘got inventive’ on the
    ground press.
