Chapter 1: The Nature of Self

In our pursuit of objectivity, we often find ourselves navigating two distinct lines of thought. First, we seek to understand our own identity, and second, we strive to comprehend the external circumstances we face. It’s essential to recognize that we do not possess multiple consciousnesses; rather, we are singular beings, indivisible in our essence.

While we may function as a cohesive unit, individuals cannot be subdivided. Each person lives a single life, which unfolds in the present moment. As time progresses, we reflect on our memories and current experiences, enabling us to recognize our identities through past events and envision our futures. This foresight is crucial for anyone with aspirations or ambitions, as it necessitates a clear action plan.

Action translates our goals into reality, allowing us to accumulate values over time. Those who possess specialized knowledge tend to gain deeper insights within their fields and, in turn, offer greater value, reaping rewards accordingly. Conversely, individuals who cultivate a broad spectrum of knowledge can contribute to various industries, thereby creating their own opportunities.

To generalize requires a thoughtful synthesis of various aspects of reality, including truth, knowledge, and experience. Everything that is real and applicable contributes to this understanding. When I hear someone claim that we are not distinct individuals due to temporal separation, I can't help but chuckle.

Our memories anchor us to the past, while our aspirations propel us into the future. We exist and think about ourselves through the lens of time. As we evolve, we may perceive ourselves as transformed or, conversely, fail to make any meaningful change.

Objectivity is not something we project onto reality; it is our consciousness that does so. We actively influence the world around us, uplift others with our words, exercise reason, and advocate for evidence. We demand truth—first from ourselves and then from those we interact with.

Who supports the notion of the Easter Bunny? With their dollar, of course. I cast my vote for my future self, recognizing that the "Future Me" governs the present. I trust that "Past Me" has led me well. I encourage you to embrace your mind fully, rejecting any negativity or external forces that threaten your sense of self.

Although we evolve over time, this transformation should not diminish our vibrant spirit; rather, it should enhance it, provided we allow it to. Be wholly yourself, free from external influences. Do not emulate the character from my book, Habit, who misinterprets his circumstances and places blame on the world for his failures.

As long as I am capable and willing, I will engage with the world as it is and strive to understand myself better. Treat others as if they truly know themselves, and you will discover how well we each grasp our own identities.

The self is indivisible. We are indeed individuals.

Society, too, is non-divisible. Regardless of any divisions, individuals remain whole. Each person is accountable for their actions. Therefore, behave in a manner that aligns with how you wish to be perceived, as others will judge you, and they have every right to do so.

Your background—be it creed, culture, race, or religion—does not alter the fundamental truth that the aspects of yourself you cannot change are inconsequential.

What truly matters is how you choose to change yourself; that is everything.

So, do not overanalyze the role you play in your past, present, and future. Everything you desire, create, take, or relinquish is part of the game you are playing. Is it merely a theft of life, or are you strategizing to win your own unique experience?
