What is
the first definition
and why is it so important?
Let’s start by looking at where freedom
and success really begin?
To start, it does not begin with the false
idea that the individual is just a brain,
or some chemical compound or a
powerful electronic device; some entity
that is just another part of
the material world.
Where it does begin is with
a real understanding of what the individual really is...
The definition of you!
The First Definition is quite simply
an accurate description of who and what you,
and the individuals around you, really are.
An individual is the most remarkable, creative, and resilient force in this universe.
It alone is the source of life energy and creativity and action. It doesn’t have a soul it is one.
In its simplicity, the individual is a self-determined entity that is aware of being aware, with capabilities beyond imagining. It creates from nothing but its own imagination and power of choice. Its potential for kindness and compassion can change worlds. It is basically good. It is its own worst enemy when it feels it has violated its own sense of right and wrong.
It has its own relationship to the creator.
Many very clever people will try to tell you it doesn’t exist; they push to identify the individual with the body or the brain, or more recently, with computers, but this is false. They are, literally, trying to convince you that you don’t really exist.
Creativity, power of choice, and compassion are not the qualities of an algorithm, or a body part or atomic particles.
The correct definition opens the door to realizing one’s true potential and the joy of living.
