I want to first say I appreciate the change of my title in this forum. It suits me well. @SkullTraill i guess that was you. I have one request, no matter how much knowledge i seem to have aquired i would always like to be refered to as someone that is learning.

I want to extend on my viewpoint of myself currently and how i view things. Hopefully this is of value to anyone reading this.

I always want to be an apprentice or an initiate. No matter how much I learn I never want to declare myself as a master or teacher of anything ever. The reason is that I see that when you declare yourself as a master that is when you stop learning. A master gives and his apprentice recieves. I view learning as the act of endulging on the fruits of life if you were to look at life like a tree that bares fruit. It brings me much satisfaction to eat that fruit. To me this is what being truely alive is. I view the apprentice as the microcosm and the master as the macrocosm. As long as i experience life in a dualistic experience, i will always see life like this.

You may see me ask lots of basic questions on here that may appear that I have not read anything on a particular subject. The reason i ask these basic questions is that I want to endulge in other people's perspectives. I want to open my mind as much as i possibly can and this is one of my ways I do this. I like to share how I see things, but personally i enjoy hearing what you guys have to say even when I do not exactly agree.

Let my questions stimulate your mind.

Currently i believe the best foundation to have with yourself is to always focus on being true to yourself. So for example, if i go around saying "i know" when i know i truely "do not know" I will be basically killing myself on the spiritual level. We experience reality and we know it exists since we live in it, therefore it is true — so to produce a fantasy within yourself going against what you are apart of would be like pulling the plug. We are without a doubt all connected, so we should learn from this master — that master is in my view as i said the whole world together.

If you looked at the world like a puzzle and you were a puzzle piece — that puzzle piece may not fit in any spot and may be nothing on its own; however, that one puzzle piece is essential to the entire puzzle, and without it the puzzle is not complete. So i see that all of our perspectives matter when we are learn.

Learning is living.
