For most people, the answer to "who am I?" is that I am my self-aware sense of "me" encased in this body of mine. Yes, we are that, but we are also the things we love and hate, plus the record of our actions in this world, overlaid upon a perfect fractal echo of God's mind. 

A tour of exoteric and esoteric religious memes from around the world. What do they have in common, and how do they differ?

Memes are the cultural expressions of societies, and their content is information. Memes, in other words, are the "stuff" of symbolic thought. Everyone holds their own personal bundle of memes tightly against their soul, and these memes influence every aspect of our lives.

In this evolutionary model, no meme war is needed between natural selection and creationism, science and religion. The Simple Explanation proposes that everything in the cosmos is created through aeonic principles embodied in all units of consciousness, and that each governing Unit of Consciousness evolves according to personal inclination and ability, through established patterns of information and adaptation, and the utterly fair and impartial mechanism of karma.

Fractals? Memes? What has this to do with gnosis? Only everything!
