If someone really understood your essence, how would they describe you?

(Edit: I mean at the relative level, it's meant as a question to help see each other's deeper feelings about themselves to be better able to connect)

How is this question different from the old “who are you?” 
 

Like how can you answer that without years of experience, experimentation and introspection?

A ball of empathy, wrapped in a ball of rage, wrapped in a ball of steel that prevents most people from seeing either of the former. Peppered with delusions and misconceptions throughout all layers.

If you want to go less abstract than that, uh... enterprising, growth-motivated, and mercantile in nature.

Make big number go up = happy. Whatever big number happens to be at the time. Money, audience size, etc.

For most easily accessible understanding, just INTJ I guess.

The better question is DO YOU know how to describe your essence?


You are a selfless LACK OF APPEARANCE, that CONSTRUCTS AN APPEARANCE. But that appearance can disappear and reappear and we call that change, we call it time, we call it space, we call it distance, we call distinctness, we call it other. But notice...this appearance, is a SELF. A SELF IS A CONSTRUCTION!!! 

So if you want to know the TRUTH OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Just deconstruct the construction!!!! No point in playing these mind games!!! No point in creating needless complexity!!! The truth of what you are is a BLANK!!!! A selfless awareness....then that means there is NO OTHER, and everything you have ever perceived was JUST AN APPEARANCE, A MIRAGE, AN ILLUSION, IMAGINARY. 

Everything that appears....appears out of a lack of appearance/void/no-thing, non-sense (can't be sensed because there is nothing to sense). That is what you are, and what arises...is made of that. So nonexistence, arises/creates existence. And thus everything is solved.

If we're talking about in the relative then something like.. Lover, Misfit, Warrior.

Through the finite we know the infinite. : )

I should have provided better context. Yes, it's meant more so at a relative human level, as a simple question to try to get to know and connect with someone better. Although I totally get why you actualizer fuckers would take it as an opportunity to inquire into the deepest, and I love you for that! ;)

Beautiful answers already, they really are opening up to me who the unique person is behind the username! ❤️

Experiencing


How is this post just me acting out my ego in the usual ways? Is this post just me venting and justifying my selfishness? Are the things you are posting in alignment with principles of higher consciousness and higher stages of ego development? Are you acting in a mature or immature way? Are you being selfish or selfless in your communication? Are you acting like a monkey or like a God-like being?

here's the thing, no one can know another ... who even knows themselves?

to know yourself only makes sense comparing yourself to others, for example i am more kind than x but i am less kind than y

so the question would need lots of qualifying to be remotely interesting
