So this where one gets to talk about oneself. Not done this on other forums but I will try here. Put simply
I am me but I gather I'm supposed to expand on who I am. Even though I know myself well, accurately describing who I am is a task because of problems of finding the right words - there are 'things' that words cannot describe but here goes.
I have taken a few Right brain/Left brain tests and on average it's 40% Left and 60% Right - so if we are to believe that stuff, it makes me more spiritual/creative than logical/mathematical - yet I was an electronics technician (retired now) and I'm interested in science as well as spirituality. I got jobs in electronics because although I tend to be poor at 'sums,' I can
visualise and electronics has been one of my hobbies since I was 11 years old. Academia means little to me and I was lucky enough to find one or two employers who gave me the time. I was able to do my job quite well. Also done more manual work...
I think and daydream a lot (means more or less the same to me) and often think about things in my dreams while asleep. I like music (not Rap) but cannot play music very good and I can't dance. Sometimes I do editing and tweaking music on the computer for recreation. I like sunsets and blue skies and trees and animals and smiles and I'm not afraid of sharing a hug (as long as the other person wants or needs one). I try not to hurt any living creature, not even a spider or a fly. And after watching Earthlings I'm going Vegan and have not even had cows milk for weeks. (I had already given up meat and fish a long time before I saw that video).
When I was younger I was misled by religion and I've
learned from the experience, to think (and feel) independently to what I was led or told believe so I am not a sheep and make my own 'path' now. That, however, does not mean that I do not believe in a God and over many years my beliefs have changed and the nearest to my belief system now is Pantheism - yet belief in deity God or gods, in whatever form, is not the same as spirituality for me.
I tend to argue when people follow something that does not make sense either logically or spiritually - and those don't have to be opposites. I tend to not like fashion, commercial sports or TV (I don't have a TV) and I dislike nationalism and dislike racism very much. I do not like pretence because
pretence is seldom the truth so beware if you do make-believe, I am not here to agree with everything. I also tend to dislike 'political correctness' because it's a form of dishonesty and deception.
I tend to be a 'conspiracy theorist' or better put, a conspiracy
analyst and I question almost everything. I spent many years in the peace movement, standing up for human and animal rights as well as common sense and I still do.
By the way, photon_electron prefers to be called John.
