Replying to LO24313 --
Dear All
On this becoming issue I propose we are not becoming anything at all this
is a pure figment of the human imagination hoping there is some reason for
our existence in this chaotic looking universe.
Maybe we are totally motivated by our needs, desires and fears, losses,
hopes and this has nothing to do with becoming. How do we know that all
religions, cultures are not outputs of human motivation? This is all
spiritual guess work going nowhere this being and becoming.
I have profiled hundreds and hundreds of people over the years using all
sorts of measuring instruments. Even ones that I designed because some
were so useless. Given feedback and asked people to challenge the profiles
and results. Had many chats to colleagues who are forensic psychiatrists
who have dealt with some of the worlds so-called worst criminals. Read
widely on all the psychotherapeutic models, looked at spirituality. etc
etc
I now know that there is no such thing as personality, how do we measure
the so called 2500 personality traits. We can't!!!!!
I have not found one scrap of evidence from all this to suggest that we
are becoming this is that.
I also suggest that if this gives meaning to ones life then that is fine.
Whatever we believe to be true is true for us. (see the other thread on
human expression- Frankels meaning of Life or Logo therapy)
Kindest
