The Human Social Pattern
Every human being can be visualized as a complex animal with base characteristics and emotions.
He has a interface to every one he knows and everyone he doesn;t know
He/she has an interface to men and an interface to women
He/she has a different interface to each person with variable degrees of the base characteristics.
The base characteristics/emotions of a person are exercised in various degrees depending on the other individual.
If we can imagine the self with interfaces towards various people, with interfaces to deal with speicific groups with interfaces to parents, with interfaces to friends, with interfaces to the "one" we see that different characteristics are present as shaded as a pie chart. To add to the dimensions, we see that its not consistent all the time owing to the dynamic nature of an individual.
The degree of each of these characteristics are dependant on time/context/and individual nature.
So if you visualize a core which defines what you truly are - which is believed by many that this "Core" is never known by the individual himself. Some even see this as the culmination of enlightenment.
Now we never expose this "Core" to anyone. What everyone gets to see is varying degrees of our base emotions and is never the same and sometimes may just not be our true self!!!
The core is that in our true self we are characterless!!!
What we have is an outer layer of made to believe/developed/cultivated/fine tuned/perceived emotional states and characteristics.
All your life you are made to believe I am dumb. I are intelligent. I am kind. I am caring. I like to party. I am hardworking. I am not successfull.
"I am", "I have", "I like", "I dislike" .
"I..", "I..", "I..." .
finally "" "" "".
The base characteristic is a void !!!!
