RE: How much do we know about who we are and what we're doing?

in #psychology7 years ago

Good article.

Our actions are born from the internal but are they indicative of us for they can change but who we are, we have always been?

Perhaps the point our actions are born is not us either for it need not have been present always.

Sort:  

The base we all share is consciousness that is blank. Then we are all in different places at different times, never occupying the same place at the same time as another. We all have different bodies and brain structures, and with the conditioning of the environment and society we are influenced to do or not do things as we try to figure out certain scenarios. We're always a unique individual different from others despite sharing common core biology and psyche, but we can and do change from the moment we are born until we die -- to varying degrees.

Active willful self-development has more changes, than just going with the flow, status quo, go along to get along, not thinking more deeply but just "enjoying", and not self-reflect, introspect or analyze ourselves or the world and the way we live. The actions we take represent the present moment of who we are at that time, making that choice, based on our thinking in consciousness. Everything that came before has led to that moment, then the next, etc. Mistakes can be made of course, and those reflect a lack of understanding which is then attained to improve our learning and not be fooled again.

That's how I see it working in life. Thanks for the feedback ;)

That is an interesting way to look at it. Thanks
