The Inner Voice/Monologue

[UltraBudgie]

Thanks UltraBudgie, you always say nice things! I think you are very intelligent!

Regarding the ego..I think this is from Nietzsche, kind of obscure maybe. Once upon a time my favourite book was Zarathustra! 


​​​​​​"Body am I, and soul" so saith the child. And why should one not speak like children? But the awakened one, the knowing one, saith: "Body am I entirely, and nothing more; and soul is only the name of something in the body." The body is a big sagacity, a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace, a flock and a shepherd. An instrument of thy body is also thy little sagacity, my brother, which thou callest "spirit" a little instrument and plaything of thy big sagacity. "Ego," sayest thou, and art proud of that word. Bur the greater thing in which thou art unwilling to believe is thy body with its big sagacity; it saith not "ego," but doeth it."

Thank you midicon I think that is very kind.

The Nietzsche quote is ponderable, at the risk of going off subject a tad would you categorize it as materialist? I some how think it isn't. There's likely some insight there about the parallels between the manifest and the intrinsic, and the ego's role in that divide, I wonder?

Maybe the morphogenesis of the body is the conjugate of the complexity of the self, and the word is the quanta of the time aspect of that, made dynamic in the voice -- positive gradient internally spoken and negative gradient externally spoken.

I feel I have taken a large beakful of possibly nonsensical philosophical birdseed with this line of thought.

The human world is.

Reality?... that's a whole 'nother question. 

The inner voice may only be a mental construct to engender the thought process.  An ouroboros of 'mental' causality?

Yes somehow I am responding to both of you in the nonsense above haha.
