Another Title for the BLOG :- How did I become me

How did you become you?

How did I become me?

I could have called the BLOG either of these titles, because actually we each do the same thing, at one level. We go on a journey.

What makes you different from me is that your journey and my journey are different and we each have learned different patterns of thinking (maybe some are the same of course) similar and differing beliefs, similar and differing values, similar and differing cultural norms, same, different,  languages, etcetera.

We also have built up a different set of experiences and laid down interpretations of those experiences in our brain. Even if we both shared the same experience, what we lay down is different.

A definition of truth I like is :-

Truth is like a painting, it is two dimensional, and laid down by the artist. Now we may all have  very similar ‘paintings’ for an awful lot of reality and we will have differing ‘pictures’ for other aspects. There was a time in our development for example, when we all had a similar painting of the Earth. It is flat!

One other thing I would like to share here, is about belief. One of the strongest beliefs we each hold, is I am Right. The reason I believe:-) we hold this, is to help us move forward on our journey. As a child we just believe everything in the beginning and use what we learn to progress in life (the journey)

I will come back to beliefs….

Do you believe I am right about the I am right belief, we all learn?

Even if you believe you are wrong sometimes, you are right about that 🙂

To be continued

This Blog is about the journey we all go through, to become who we are.
