How do you know,that once you became this porn stud, your personality wouldn't change? Dont they say power corrupts? Being very attractive is a form of power, and people who are worshiped and glorified for their appearance, like Hollywood actors and starlets, quite often end up being indulgent narcissists, even if they started out innocent and grounded. Personality is stable, and at the same time malleable. The type of "hormone-ridden priapistic meat suit" influences the brain and self-image.

of course all i can say in my defense is that the better angels of my nature sincerely would resist the demonic side of my nature in that respect. many fail this test for sure because this world is [per the Good Book] the home team of st. paul's "principalities and powers." gamblers will tell you "the house always comes out ahead."

You seem to be caught up in the matter vs. spirit dichotomy. Thats' very Christian, not to mention other religions. Goes back to Ancient Persian Zoroastrian beliefs. The eternal Battle Between Good And Evil. The Flesh & The SOUL.

I voted for :arrow:
perfect health for everybody
unlimited fundage for life $$$$$$$
world peace and mutual love

It would be great if me & girlfriend & her family would quit being disabled & we did not have to worry about money anymore. I think the various world problems that were listed in the poll could all be solved if we had world peace & mutual love but I might would wish for the genie to be freed instead cuz I'd feel bad about using him & it could be dangerious if the wrong person were to get a hold of him. If I was single I would wish for a certain celeb to marry me instead of unlimited money, I wouldn't have to worry about money since she should have plenty.

I'm not a Guru. Haha. But yeah....You could start by not believing in it; Western "Cartesian dualism." That mind and body are separate. Modern quantum science points towards the interconnectedness of all things. Much like the the Old Eastern schools of thought, that separation is an illusion; "Maya." That what you think is distinct and separate, is really just an observer illusion of consciousness itself.

I have never been narcissistic. I could look like a million dollars, yet I will always feel for the little man in all walks of life, because that little man is a part of me. The part of me that has grown into something bigger, but the two remain a whole organism.

There is no splitting or separation in my psyche.

It's not about splitting, or fractured psyches. It's a about how your physical organism, interacts with the environment and produces a feedback loop in your personality formation and conditions your psyche and your behavioral patterns. A life-time of being mistreated or well-treated, will mould you, whether you realise it consciously or not.

You cant change your body, without after effects in personality. Unless your psyche is especially recalcitrant and set in stone, with little neuroplasticity, or just hardwired into very definite, unshakable, patterns. Which can be the case in a small instances of people.
