Identity alteration: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

Within traditional religions, the intrinsic nature of a human identity differs depending on its specific doctrine. For example, abrahamic religions such as Christianity and Islam use an inherently "dualist" approach which claims that the self is a soul which resides within the body and is inherently separate from its external environment. In contrast, eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism take an approach known as "nondualism" which generally speaking, posits that the separate self is illusory and that there is no difference between one's identity or soul and the "external" universe which it resides in.

~~The prototheistic~~ approach to defining identity is to map out its distinct potential differences into a defined leveling system, analyze the various philosophical and scientific viewpoints and then attempt to discuss the implications of these factors in as rational a manner as possible.

PsychonautWiki's approach to defining identity is to map out its distinct potential differences into a defined leveling system, analyze the various philosophical and scientific viewpoints and then attempt to discuss the implications of these factors in as rational a manner as possible.

These variations of differing experienced identity which can occur within humans are listed and described below:
