What is the fundamental question?

When I venture out into the philosophical jungle of my thirdself, I quickly encounter the “fundamental questions”. These are the most important existential questions. Kant’s three questions come to mind. The problem with this exercise is that questions are secondary to something more fundamental: every moment I am awake, I want something. Whether I want… Continue reading What is the fundamental question?

Visualizing triself

I can momentarily numb the pain of my illness by visualizing and entering triself. I start by repeating, “I am existence”. I feel the words within my secondself; this is me. I can “see” the words reverberating within me, behind my eyes. I am existence. I am existence. I am existence. I trace my inner… Continue reading Visualizing triself

What I have thought, and actively think is me, is just a small point of awareness sitting… Continue reading I am the marionettist

How selfism relates to thirdself ideologies

My thirdself ideologies are all the philosophies, religions, and perspectives that originate “outside of me” within my secondself imagination. They come to me first as information I can only imagine, but I cannot directly experience without additional second- and- thirdself movement. This includes all beliefs, facts, and pieces of information I have acquired and assembled… Continue reading How selfism relates to thirdself ideologies
