Am I body? Or mind? Collection of mental attributes or just a bodily self? Or soul?
However one chooses to answer the above depends on how one sees self!
I was thrown into the world at the beginning of 1951 and awoke in a land described by Mark Twain as ‘God created it first and then copied paradise from it’
Primary and secondary schooling happened in that land of ‘paradise’; whilst tertiary one followed at the university of Kent ,Canterbury UK where I read Philosophy and Theology ( in its Buddhism/Hinduism ) form after initially pursuing a career in psychiatric nursing in its general and learning disabilities form followed by a career as a teacher of RS/Philosophy. My academic education was completed later at Surrey University and St Mary’s College. Other aspect of my career are inclusive of working as a ‘Bazaryer’ , Journalist and trying business in its MLM form.
Presently I continue to maintain a link in education through being an examiner but most of current occupations is precisely being engaged post working life in reflection.
On another note I am a family member having a lovely and caring wife who tries her best to understand me and a father of three children… with my 2 daughters also pursuing a career in teaching and our youngest a son who has started his career in medicine.
