    Well, this is one that I witnessed in my earthly observation. It is quite funny how we think ourselves to be okay. Not really seeing that we are actually asleep even when we think ourselves to be awake.

    Let me help you see what I mean. Most of us, not all of you but, most were born in amnesia and it is still strongly effecting us. You don't remember what you had for dinner a month ago. You don't remember much before 5. We remember less before the age of 3. We don't remember birth, being in the womb, nor do we remember the struggle being a sperm with such determination to get to the egg and for what reason. That was a serious journey and you made it. Now that you are born, somewhere between birth and now, you seem to have forgotten why you were so determined to get here. You don't remember that moment. That is the very moment that stores the sensation of becoming a human and that sensation has meaning and that meaning is....... forgotten. Imagine if you could just pull up that moment in memories. What will you discover about you then. It seems that becoming a human made us forget the deepest reason for being so determined to get here. I think I can safely say we are dearly suffering this trauma of amnesia. I here so many times the same questions on the Meaning of Live, The purpose of life, and what do you think and do you believe in God and all that stuff. It's all vanity., all of it is. It does nothing for humanity but causes a bunch of beliefs and dis-beliefs. You had that determination. Find it's cause and you will help more than just yourself, you will help many of thousands of people.

    A mind which is empty on birth is filled gradually with knowledge, skills, feelings, interests etc. The sources for this knowledge and other things are parents, teachers, friends, news papers, books, videos, tv etc. Whatever it is and however it is these things form a nature. The nature is a character. When a character merges with a mind and reaches a unchangeable stage it becomes a nature. The feelings that merged during childhood never change so easily. It attains the state of a nature.

    That it is all about love. We pay so little attention to that, like it's an afterthought, but it is the central gateway to all things fabulous, and it is. Being in genuine love is as powerful as a space shuttle launch. It just changes everything - it's like being in Heaven. You spend the first two years just stunned with your mouth open at what has happened. You couldn't begin to anticipate it - and everything else is reduced to the most mundane details - where you live, what your name is, what you do - all becomes details.

    I can't claim the deepest insight about human nature, but here is one for your consideration.......Human nature is quite strange and hypocritical....... we are basically and essentially selfish, but we genuinely hate ourselves because of that !!

    It's the human nature that has the capacity and brain to unreveal the truth yet still chooses to believe in lies.

    Soul-realization is key. Plotinus' "One Mind Soul"-realization is deep or profound. Related: "Return to the One: Plotinus's Guide to God-Realization," "The Path of the Higher Self," "Man, Master of His Destiny," http://thevioletflame.tripod.com/
