Love and Sex
“In regards to the Self, the most divine act is of selflessness. (personal belief) What do you feel about love and sex, and its role in the discovery or refinement of selflessness and Self? I wonder if love and sex are too generic or too impulsive to be penetrative of the inner mysteries.”

Gibarian: You think you're dreaming me.
Chris Kelvin: You're not Gibarian.
Gibarian: No? Who am I then?
Chris Kelvin: A puppet.
Gibarian: And you're not? Or maybe you're my puppet. But like all puppets you think you're actually human. It's the puppets' dream, being human.

Proceed at your own pace.
“There are many aspects to life that I find difficult to adapt to. Human nature can only bring us so far…At some point, most of us consciously decide for ourselves that where we are is not where we need to be and that something has got to change. Part of the process is not doing that, and finding out later that we should have done something different. Such is life- a learning...

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and - in spite of True Romance magazines - we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely - at least, not all the time - but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don’t see how you can...

Do we die alone?
“Do we die alone? When the realm of our consciousness ceases to exist, does that single flame go out or do others follow?
To be frank, I am just curious to expand on the isolation that death is associated with.”

Response to: Human Nature
“You deny common morality but embrace common Nature? Nature, in this sense, being an objective guiding principle for all humans with the exception of some anomalies. Is there objective Right and Wrong? If not what are the implications of that?”

Human Nature
“What is your view on Human Nature? Specifically, moral law.”

Some would say we are destined to destroy ourselves, that it is in our very nature. Yet, I dare say for every act of aggression there is someone willing to stand up and lend a hand. Unfortunately, it is the aggressor who often steals stage from the good Samaritan. One glance at any major news...
