   Couldn't resist ripping off starlights headline, via Popeye the sailor man...

   I am a man, yes I am; the nick should in that case read "Redivivus", not "Rediviva", it just struck me. Anyhoo... Born in 1965, when the world was young. Bachelor of arts in indology, love the Bhagavad-gîtâ. Means of subsistence: paper route. I have also worked as a cook. And have published a cook book on my private label, yes indeedy..!

   I am also an aesthete, a literary snob, and what else... swede, did I say that? Living in the university town of Uppsala.

   Spiritual preferences: Castaneda, gnosticism, veda, Swedenborg, Kierkegaard, a bit of Nietzsche, well almost anything...

   Immanuel Kant was a real pissant who was very rarely stable,
   Heidegger, Heidegger was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table,
   David Hume could out-consume Schopenhauer and Hegel,
   And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as schloshed as Schlegel.
   There's nothing Nietzsche couldn't teach ya 'bout the raising of the wrist,
   Socrates himself was permanently pissed
   John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, with half a pint of shandy was particularly ill,
   Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day, Aristotle, Aristotle was a beggar for the bottle, Hobbes was fond of his dram,
   And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart, "I drink therefore I am."
   Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed; A lovely little thinker but a bugger when he's pissed.

   Rediviva !

   Welcome, it's great to get this place buzzing, this forum really is the only I've found with so many seekers of the truth !

   In times of hardship, confusion, hate, lust, happiness and madness this is place to share our truth.

   One question though, can one self be found ?

   I mean lets say we lock our selves in a hut on a hill for 80 years to live off Sampa and Water to then eventually not even need these so we end up living off the divine energy as I've heard some do. You'd then need to detach your self from hot and cold, then your clothes, then all your memories, then your thoughts, then eventually we might just be starting to find who we are.

   At that point would we continue or go find where ever we think home is ?

   At this stage I feel we'd have become so detached from all that if a human came in contact with us again after such a long time that we wouldn't have any idea on how to be so would find our selves having to condition our selves with at a certain amount of conditionings the new human had that may stand before us to enable us to connect on some sort of a level with them. Either that or just look at them, just feel our emotion and not questioning till they may see you as too strange and leave!

   At this point we might carry on 'self seeking'.

   We could then detach our selves from all so that we are naked, then detach our selves from our breath and let that go, then detach our selves from our heart beat till that stops and finally detach our selves from our body and fly away in to the nothingness.

   Hmmmm . . .

   Where do you think your taking this 'self seeking' guys ?
