Who am I?
This question deals on the personality, the whole trend of thinking, feeling and behavior. It handles more of the true nature in going back to our experience way above our senses, emotions, thinking and internal images, above emotions, toward our beginning. Science brings us to the thought that we evolved from an ape to the human being that we are; in the film The Cave of Forgotten Dreams it is of an analysis of human beings and the manner we relate to the surrounding. The paintings bring to mind the first existence of human beings meeting with land prior to civilization (fox is black; Schwartz). Human used their sense of touch rather than mind to note things; it hence brings forth a sense of presence.
This question handles the thought of who controls us, the one who is present when we are also present. The I is our will, what we truly are. The I is not seeable or touchable but felt with our intention; it does what we do, it thinks and feels as we do. The I is of the ability to control out attention hence better selecting our consciousness. The I is hence bigger than our consciousness.
“Who am I” brings forth the internal reflection which we have to seek for our i. though not physical, it is simple and direct being oneself. It is who we are with no luggage, thoughts and feelings, attitudes as well as opinions.
The question “who am i?” brings to thought our presence in relation to identification with the trends of out personality of composition of our disparate impulses of completeness of our presence and of compliance to the divine, we foremost look to identify ourselves then bring in God to us.
What is really real?
This has the relation to one having a will. People normally stay in a state of inner conflict. It is a control of something pushing one to do something yet another one stopping one form doing it. The senses are not coherent with the state of mind; the heart is conflicting with the mind, so does the actions and desires (Ted and Brock). Human beings want something that they can exploit while on the other hand they want security; drama as well as peace; they simply want to control everything. One may desire to be private in life, be admired; stay healthy as well they desire to smoke and drink, the will of an individual rides over another one.
Each and every desire comes from an internal want bring one forth in power in various ways. Development, self-preservation and control as well as flexibility are some instances of this will. It on the other hand does not stick to the psychological aspect but a reality of the world which takes various forms as brought about by Nietzsche in his will to love. Love is an enrolment where one acquires control over another person while still submitting. His attribution of love is to both male and female, with the women precisely being bias over time. Men on the other hand do not love as they are rule over women. In the film “Don Juan DeMarco” Don Juan uses his wil to power of love to seduce women (The polyman). He is attributed to be a true lover.it is his belief and attitude that makes him behave that way.
How do I act in the face of the really real?
Human beings are not strong-minded and have to accept the definitive obligation for which they really are (Velasquez). Women in most cases are bound for social influences which take away the consciousness of their autonomy and have to manage these hindrances through confident self-assertion on the other side of men; they lead the society and attribute women depending on their own nature. She is just a being who relates to the man. In addition, women have acquired this role and hence do away with their freedom. Women should hence do away with the thought that men model who they are, and that they should try and exist, be real. One hence becomes what we are and hence exists.
What is God?
The reference to God is attributed to our feelings, sense and belief. Some religious thinkers attribute God to be a subject and may not be related to be an object of human thought. The connection between man and God is made possible in worship and not through theoretical aspects. The thought of God is not a creation but as a result of special experience (Haught). The human being attributed to their consciousness, it is hence that any thought about God is related to an experience. Though debatable, God is subject of a realistic concept our human experience. Human belief in God’s existence due to what they go through and what they desire or want to achieve. God is attributed to be an integrate part of our life, he is always with us and desire him more. This is portrayed in the normal life by visiting churches and constant prayer.
