Does your thought ever transcend from the superficial level to deeper thought?

How aware are you of your own mind?

Do you believe in the "duality" of this reality?

Have you ever considered the idea of complete unity?

1. I am aware, of course. And I became more aware because of the life I'm living... Many friends and colleagues share the same thing with me, and they become aware even of walking on the street for the fact that someone may cut them or beat them to death for nothing. I also believe and I'm conscious on the fact that Nature will kill us now or kill us later. Why ? Because our "leaders" like us to work for them through the years, they cut forests, cut our oxygen right in front of us, and we don't do nothing to stop them. I am afraid of my own existence because I don't have my own existence. I live for others to get rich and to satisfy other's needs. But I'm also using free time to think about it, to reflect about my existence, which makes me think more safe. I like to call it "deppressistence". Then I wake up and realsie things are made to be this way, eventhough I don't believe in fate.

2. I do reflect on what I'm doing right now. I don't think about what's to come, or what was before X or Y or Z. For example, I use the past to correct mistakes and the future to anticipate a movement. But I don't use them as reffering points... it would be useless for me and my time and what I have to do. When I remember of childhood or good and bad moments of my life or the ones I get contacts with, it's a separate moment, a moment of silence when I care less about what I have to do.

3. Reality... Hmm. It's a strange "concept" to me, this reality. That's why is hard to answer this, but I'll do my best. For me, the "real" reality is that place where I feel more confortable. Nature. Being also a stranger to it, I made up my own "unreality" or "surreal" environment where I live in, my works and myself. Go to a forest then make abstraction of everything artificial, you'll feel goosebumps. When I'm a building made of concrete, all I feel is just cold and loneliness. That's the reality, conflictual basic of human mind. "I wish to be there, but I can't ...so I just imagine". That's my reality.

4. Yes. It started when I was a kid and begin to love nature for its beauties. I loved so much to go country-side to run around trees and dense layers of grass, etc. Since then, I hated people who cut flowers from their terrain just to look better in their balconies. And I still hate the ones who do that. Nature is where my deeper thought comes into play. Its superficial shows when I use to do unreasonable things, like approving several unchecked projects for environmentalist concerns. Then I feel guilty and I blame myself only for the consequences.

5. I am aware, maybe very aware of it. I might do something that will make the others suffer. And I couldn't live with the idea... Something like that...

6. I do believe in duality of the spirit, don't know much about the dual reality. But it might follow the same principle ? The second reality I'm in is when I dream or when I imagine something. It seemes more real...

7. Just had a discussion about this today at a workshop for peace and unity. Yes, I did, and I do. It's essential for the body and mind to work together, eventhough the message to do it comes from your heart and the brain applies it to the body's sensors. It's like a give-receive action. When you're doing something you feel you're proud of, you get positive energies and this can be seen on your face. When the thunder strikes and the lightning appears, it's all about positive and negative energies, which attract each-other. I like very much to help, and after the person I've helped is satisfied, I get positive energy and that person gets it too. Human of today's society don't yet realise that because he's forced to believe that the purpose in life is just to do that and don't ask questions. That's why people who search inside this duality are so rare and it's hard to fight the systems becase of that. Maybe in time...
