I'm not against those experiences i.e. money, cars, etc., but I know that the best things for my self are those things that would improve happiness and reduce suffering. That seems self-evident. It always has, though I haven't always had words to express that understanding. I feel that acting in accordance with what I think will improve happiness and reduce suffering is what it means to act in self-interest.

Is this self-interest? From things I've read on the philosophy pertaining this...

[adriandrum]

@sicktoaster it depends - is it your own idea of helping others that is based in your own personalized opinions and beliefs or is it in fact what is supporting others and what is best for all life from a starting point of self honesty - that is beyond personal opinion and belief

nothing wrong with material things in this world that improve quality of life - the question is how are we using these things and are we allowing all to share these things equally?

[adriandrum]

@sicktoaster yes that is self as the mind - or what you call 'ego' - that is contrived and comprised of knowledge and information - definitions, beliefs and perceptions about who self is that form personality, likes, preferences, wants, desires. that is not real, it dies at death.

self as who you really are as life is the physical - of which we are all equally from the same source - that is our oneness as existence

@adriandrum

I see.

I've realized though that the best way to maximize happiness and minimize suffering is to let go. Just what ever set of sensations(What is an experience other than a set of sensations received by the human brain?) intrigue me I go for them. This seems haphazard but it's working for me.

@sicktoaster to actually let go of the past as how you have defined yourself according to your experiences and environment is what we refer to as seld forgiveness - this is our gift of release from mind control and is able to transcend anything if applied and lived effectively - nothing and no one is beyond self forgiveness - for more on how to apply this tool I suggest visiting the desteni website and forums

What is self, ego, self interest,...?

I don't think self interest is bad but it seems like I conceptualize the idea very very differently from others. When others talk about "self interest" their always seems to be this narrow focus on things like money, acquiring certain items, etc.

I'm starting to think that maybe the way I've been using these words diverges greatly from how most people are using them.

[adriandrum]

@sicktoaster yes self interest generally refers to the current condition of man as 'self' as the ego - not as actual self as the physical as life

[sicktoaster]

But it's really about the moment. I have ideas about what will serve me later but if something else happens I just roll with it.

[sicktoaster]

...I'm not sure anymore. It makes sense to me to define it as my "self" but is that the same concept of "self" everyone else is carrying around in their heads?

I've read things describing things like ego and self-interest that describe them as us defining ourselves according to society in a relationship to words. But I rarely define myself on words, but by the experiences and sensations I have taken in, how I found those, and my understanding of what experiences I want in the future.

@elgrigorio1 shaving my head is a visible political statement that I stand for world equality - as it is giving up hair as a point of vanity, ego, self interest and self definition. it is also cool for the environment as I do not use any hair products any more.
