what kind of higher, permanent, rock solid truth are we talking about here

just to be clear

You ask more questions than you talk yourself

ask me something

People who want answers and don't have much to say themselves are rare

fortunately I'm well equipped in the latter

Why are you keen to listen to random strangers online who could as well be talking complete non-sense and wasting your precious time

you're not a stranger, I've been talking to you for days

and no, it isn't nonsense

that is something discernible

don't give yourself so little credit

Yes, but I'm just another individual spotted in the wild

not quite

Why would you want to hear my opinions

I think you're an intelligent and thoughtful person

I'm not suspicious btw, only curious

I understand

you underwent a couple of layers of selection to end up in here

you're not just a random, even if we had not talked to date

"what kind of higher, permanent, rock solid truth are we talking about here"

I can only say that it is something not yet realized

I listened to your music too, so just on that basis you wouldn't be worthless

fair enough

I have a couple of ideas about music that need a bit more testing

music and personality

I think that Buddhist, Hermetic and other doctrines which say that such a realization is a moment of bliss, not an endless maintenance, make sense, and hence, I consider myself somebody who isn't there

I want to listen to music by a confirmed sociopath

that is good

how does one go further down that path

wherever it leads

define sociopathy

I won't right now, but I'll define a sociopath

a sociopath is a person who has no conscience, the primary problem of whom is never having formed a loving bond with another human being

further from the above are my own ideas

I agree with some psychiatrists in the earlier part of the 20th century and a couple of other people that humans create for themselves various "false selves"

I suppose you could call them identities too

or masks

these false selves are derived from an underlying true self

that may not be realized

but is nevertheless playing a big role, each "mask" is a subset of the true self in a way

a sociopath is someone who has no true self, has not developed one, or cannot access his true self in any way (theory)
