The portal to true enlightenment is passing through the vagina.

On the day you were born, you already knew everything you needed to know, because on that day you were your most honest self. You were born pre-programmed with the same physiological stamp of perception as you now possess. There is a path you can take which is most synergistic with your natural tendencies and abilities. If you can find this path, you are superhuman. Working with the flow instead of fighting against it, you are twice as strong. Don’t fight the obstacles, become one with them.

There is natural thought, un-colored by the cognitive scripts you have accumulated in the course of navigating through previous situations. Don’t follow the scripts; look at the reality in front of you. Your perception of reality is not objective, because objectivity doesn’t exist. Your natural subjectivity is designed to push you in the right direction--a direction which is only meant for you, no one else.

Don’t follow paths, or aim towards goals. Simply live and let the goals meet you at your leisure. Be yourself and let the world that was meant for you unfold. You can’t control it--don’t try. You are floating on a lazy river which drifts towards the future which happens most naturally. When you try to steer your journey, you encounter raging rapids. When you calm yourself, and enjoy the view, you discover the answers to everything you need to know.

No I didn't. I hardly knew a thing, couldn't even walk. Honesty is irrelevant.

No I wasn't. Perception is learned.

Of course objectivity exists, and you believe in it too. "objectivity doesn't exist" could only make sense as an objective claim, at which point it is obviously false. You may be in subjective denial of objectivity, if you wish.

Objectivity is a lack of bias. To see the world as it really is with out the filter of our mind is impossible. We have an innate bias in our perception, true objectivity is impossible.

Flint - I believe all of that.

I really do.

I guess it hold true for c-sections, too? I didn't pass through no vergina.

But I've always thought that the different birth process has an effect on the person being born. I'm not sure what, but I think it must.

A born again christian must experience death but not the death of soul. Selfish desires and sin are eliminated at the point of baptism.

As if reincarnation wasn't difficult enough, the Chinese govenrment has made it illegal to reincarnate without official permission.
