The representations of you and others representations of you:

The shape, the form that I show to others, is the symbol representing me.

My Clothes, shoes, hair, home, all are the representations of me. Nothing but the things that make others recognize me.

-What am I? This is me? The true me? The false me? The me that exists in your mind? The me that exists in my own mind?


You are you. Yet, you have your own region. Your own border. Your thoughts of yourself make up you and the thoughts of you in my mind are you as well. You not only exist as one in yourself, but as many as the people that view you in their own minds all make you also. All different representations of you. All are true.


"The thing that I think myself is me.
I am nothing but myself.
Yet, I don't understand. Where am I?
What am I? What am I?
Nobody understands me...."

Nobody can ever understand you. The one that takes care of you, and the one that understands you is nobody but yourself. You can't even say you understand yourself, how can you ask others to?




How you and others perceive "you" is always changing:


The present you. The people around the present you. The environment that surrounds the present you. Makes up who you are at that time.

None of them last forever.

Time is always flowing.

You are made of the changing world. You are the things that may change according to your own mind.

The things that forms you are your own mind and the world surrounding yourself.

That is the reality. For now. You are not the same person you where a second ago.
You are always changing.
The more information you view, them more you see or read, the more you interact with others changes what you perceive about yourself. These all add and take away from your own views and beliefs.

"The me at the moment is not always the me as I am.
There are many myselves."





The need for others to have a view of yourself:


If you where really alone without the interactions of others, you would lose oneself. Your existence will fade away. That is why we must be with others.

Alone, you have no existence but of yourself, so you can't figure out your own shape. You own image.

You only get to know your own shape through seeing others' shape.

Seeing others' wall, you can imagine yourself. You cannot see yourself unless there are others.

By cognizing the difference between you and others,
you form the image of yourself.

Because there are others, you can exist. If you are forgotten you cease to exist as well. Every time someone forgets you, that part (self) of you dies.

The very first person is your mother.

Your mother is a different person from you. With her you begin to see who you are compared with what you see in your mind of her. You grow to what you see yourself as from that point at birth.




The "you" that is the mind of others and the truths and realities:


It is the mind that which confuses the reality with the truth.

Truth is what you believe and reality is what is real.

You may view the world as nothing but an evil place and that is your own truth. That becomes reality. Even if it is in only your own mind, t is real to you and that is your truth. At that you may view yourself as a good person, but that will not be the same "you" that exist in the minds of others.

There are many of "you".
The 'you' that exists in your own mind. The 'you' that exists in your families minds, The 'you' that exists in your friends minds. All are that is you.

There are as many truths as there are people.Truth is made up in ones own mind. All the same truth is different in the minds of others.

"But there's only one truth that you have, which is formed of the narrowed view of the world. That's revised information to protect yourself, the twisted truth."

One sees things with the truth given by others.


"Happy on the sunny day. Gloomy on the rainy day."

If taught so, you always think this is the truth, but you can find yourself enjoying rainy days too. And at that, you change.

Your view is only your view and you can shape it and form your truths however you want. If you believe it is so. Then it can then become reality for you. There are so many truths that you get to pick from them.

It all can be tossed away and replaced. We do that everyday, at times to make a relationship work, to get a job and sometimes just to survive in our world.

"The truth within a human is so cheap that
People wish to know the more deep truth."

It is all the self-consciousness.



Some of these questions where proposed in Evangelion. I love to talk about psychological aspects and view them even explaining them. Just helps to understand ones self along with others. This was so much fun ^^  As for copyrights to any quoted material it all has been deemed as public domain.
