Out of the Billions of other humans alive, how is it that you're in this particular body? If your mother had a child with someone else would you never exist or would you have a different body? :confused:

The body you have grows around what's inside it?

if ur mom had a child with someone else, it would not be you, you would never exist. ur mom + ur dad + sexor = u. not ur mom + x = u. your mom and your dads DNA is complicated and make you who you are, along with your life experiences.

Depends on what you believe is "you", or the essence of your being/existence. If you think it's simply your brain, and that your consciousness will end when you die, then yes, your body is you. If you believe in a soul, or some sort of transcending consciousness, then in most cases, no.

if ur mom had a child with someone else, it would not be you, you would never exist. ur mom + ur dad + sexor = u. not ur mom + x = u. your mom and your dads DNA is complicated and make you who you are, along with your life experiences.

Prove this.

Prove this.

well everything may just be all magicks and our soul is passed on from only our mom, but, i know that mom + dad = unique dna = unique brain which makes you you. what if ur mom had secks with ur dad, then another dood, she's not going to make two of you, she's going to make two different children, because of the DNA combo.

We are not our bodies, nor are we "in" them.

Our body is simply the physical means that our essential self, or soul, manifests on the earth plane. Our essential self is non-local--that it, it is everywhere in general and nowhere in particular. (Note, however, that "nowhere" = "now, here".

Why we have the body we do, and what real or imagined defects it displays, is a matter of each soul's agenda.

What is the self?
The experience we call "I".
I could easily be someone else, but still the "I" would be the same.
I have a male body, but I could imagine myself with a female body with different feelings and values, but the "I" that has them would still be the same.
Over time we change (values, beliefs, etc...) yet the "I" that has them hasn't changed.
What is this feeling of "I"?


Quantum physics thus reveals a basic oneness of the universe.

In itself, the insight is not new. The earliest records, to my knowledge, date back some 2500 years or more... the recognition ATMAN = BRAHMAN (the personal self equals the omnipresent, all-comprehending eternal self) was in Indian thought considered, far from being blasphemous, to represent the quintessence of deepest insight into the happenings of the world. The striving of all the scholars of Vedanta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedanta) was after having learnt to pronounce with their lips, really assimilate in their minds this grandest of all thoughts.
Again, the mystics of many centuries, independently, yet in perfect harmony with each other (somewhat like the particles in an ideal gas) have described, each of them, the unique experience of his or her life in terms that can be condensed in the phrase: DEUS FACTUS SUM (I have become God).
To Western ideology, the thought has remained a stranger... in spite of those true lovers who, as they look into each other's eyes, become aware that their thought and their joy are numerically one, not merely similar or identical...


Knowledge, feeling, and choice are essentially eternal and unchangeable and numerically one in all men, nay in all sensitive beings. But not in this sense — that you are a part, a piece, of an eternal, infinite being, an aspect or modification of it... For we should then have the same baffling question: which part, which aspect are you? what, objectively, differentiates it from the others? No, but, inconceiveable as it seems to ordinary reason, you — and all other conscious beings as such — are all in all. Hence, this life of yours... is, in a certain sense, the whole... This, as we know, is what the Brahmins express in that sacred, mystic formula... 'Tat tvam asi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tat_Tvam_Asi)' — this is you. Or, again, in such words as 'I am in the east and in the west, I am below and above, I am this whole world.'
Thus you can throw yourself flat on the ground, stretched out upon Mother Earth, with certain conviction that you are one with her and she with you ... For eternally and always there is only now, one and the same now; the present is the only thing that has no end.



There is obviously only one alternative, namely the unification of minds or consciousnesses. Their multiplicity is only apparent, in truth there is only one mind.



Vedanta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedanta) teaches that consciousness is singular, all happenings are played out in one universal consciousness and there is no multiplicity of selves.

Yeah, what he said sounds about right.
