The point of self knowledge is not to take responsibility. The point is to recognize and understand your actions, your reactions and your feelings.
In that context, you are neither good nor bad. Neither saintly nor evil. Neither responsible nor irresponsible.
Phyllo, what voice do you listen to that tells you the reasons for your actions and feelings? Does the conscience have a say?
Wd … Phyllo … Gib
My arrogance has revealed it’s ugly ‘face’ … yet again!
I want people to ‘see’ what I ‘see’ and I’m in a hurry to get there.
I apologize … please forgive me.
I don’t think that conscience has a place in self-knowledge. You might perform an action for any number of reasons but conscience is a wrapper around some other motivations. You need to see the real motivation.
Fear is a big motivator… but fear of what exactly?
Canadian, eh?
Why bother recognizing diddly-squat if not to take actions on what you’ve learned in ernest? You don’t need a soul to be a passenger, only need a soul to be a driver.
Once you know who/what you are, then you can decide on who/what you want to be.
Science is about creating more harm than good. Science is about polluting the mind, the body, the world and beyond. The scientific language is not that of God, for God speaks with his emotions to ours. Satan is the thinker who seeds Man with his corrupt ideas so Man can feel powerful at first and empty nearer death. The disillusionment of Man is Satan’s playground.
So you understand yourself and act responsibly, Phyllo?
I’m pretty sure that it is not about that at all.
And if you were to do an evaluation of good results and harmful results coming from science and technology, the good would dominate.
Can you not “see” the world around you? You prefer the corruption, the pollution?
I understand parts of me. It’s a work in process.
Am I supposed to act responsibly? What happens if I don’t? 
Then you will judge yourself unworthy of God, but where you will go if not into His grace, I don’t know…yet. Many upon many, maybe millions, of souls exist in Hopelessness. Other not so Divine planes exist.
If you eat, you consume resources and you poop waste.
That’s a simple fact of life. Nobody is so pure and holy that they consume nothing and they produce not waste.
One is looking for a balance and one does not necessarily achieve it.
Maybe my concept of responsibility is different from yours. Maybe my concept is different from God’s. One will see (or not).
There is hope for everyone.
I don’t know about other divine realms. I know something about Earth.
Science, thinking is equivalent to porn, a sex addiction or any drug addiction. Science hollows Man out then Man turns to the material universe for fulfillment with all his obsessions and addictions…everything to escape his emotions, to escape God’s talking to him.
You’re using the basics of existence to aid your argument? That’s weak when there’s so much greatness you could bring forth from all the sciences.

Yup!
A good dose of French blood + a good dose of English blood + a sprinkling of Indigenous North American blood
What are the possibilities on the French side?
… Napoleon was an Italian masquerading as a Frenchman 
… Hebrew … apparently lots on the southern coast of France in antiquity
… Greek … Roman …
What are the possibilities on the English side?
… indigenous as in Stonehedge peoples
… Celtic as in Irish peoples
… certainly German as in Anglo “Saxons”
What are the possibilities on the Indigenous North American side?
… Inuit as in Eskimo
What a concoction eh!
It’s no small wonder I am so messed up! 
My last post seems to have triggered a question …
Do blood lineages provide subconscious “windows” to the past?
A fellow Canadian too, eh? Where aboots in Canada are you?
