I would be 29 years old, have a perfect athletic body, and I would know how to ice skate like a pro, dance, do karate and kick ***, and swim like a fish.

I would have the ability to have a photographic memory but only when I chose to do it.

I would like to have the skills of the mentalist, and be able hypnotize people without them even knowing it.


That's great. An ice-skating fish, 29 years of age, which dances and hypnotizes people. And carry a digital camera. Hope you get aone that works underwater.

If you could change yourself in body and mind, looks and age... to be what you would consider to be perfect, what would you do?

If you were a creative spirit, and you could create or manifest the perfect body for you to inhabit what would it look like?

If you could program that body to be able to do things well naturally, what would you program yourself to be able to do?






I've always wished I could change my body. My mind however is the best part about me! I wouldn't change that for anything.


What's wrong with your body? You look pretty good to me.:wink:



That's what I was thinking!!! Men...sheesh.

I would like my hair back...and total recall.

I want my memory to be as good as it used to be. I used to have a photographic memory.

Perfection? Me?

That is such an alien concept, I can't even begin to contemplate it.

That sounds just about perfect to me too.

The reason it may be alien, is that we have a job to do, we will always have a job to do, to be perfect would be to be without a job, i.e. dead.

Perfection, like beauty, is in the mind. It is only in your own mind that you can you judge your own perfection or lack of it.

Relation to self is inadmissible.

As the eyes do not see themselves, I do not, nor ever can, know myself.

To know thyself is the first thing you should know.

When you know yourself, then you will know others.

Of course by "know" I mean "understand."

Understand yourself.

That really does not change anything.

However, not letting reason get in the way of words is very, very, normal.

Who said it changes anything? It is the way it is.

Nope. You implied that A does not equal A.

A -- A = 0, can be said in English, "relation to self is inadmissible.

What you said is that we are different from ourselves, which is not possible.

Ever study Plato's Charmides? It is all about relation to self, in fact Charmides was a relation to Plato. Very nice dialog.

Why do you think I said that we are different from ourselves? Rubbish.

I said no such thing.

You don't make any sense at all.

Sorry, but you don't.

To know, means to perceive. Now, the eye does not see itself, the ears do no hear themselves, lungs do not breathe themselves.

In order for me to perceive, or know myself, I would have to be other than myself.
