What makes you who you are? How much of yourself could be changed or removed before you cease to be you? -

Well you aren't the same person biologically or psychologically as you were a decade ago, so would you consider yourself to be an entirely new person?
There are also people who have died and been revived, or people put under anesthesia (such as myself) and despite feeling abnormal we are still very much the same entity.
It'll be interesting to see the science uncovered around self in the coming years ... -

Chasing black stars in a black sky
With worn dreams in a worn heart
Over torn sails on a tired sea -

Morning Star is the star of Lucifer. the angel that holds the light in darkness.. but it's possible that is a misunderstanding. some Gnostics confuse eastern religion with classic Christian Judaeo beliefs of Lucifer.
this is apart of the movement of dragging down people into a soulless world we chose to exist in now. one where Man and Machines become one and one with one another but not one with God.
or something.
Lucky's brand hummus is pretty tasty.. a bit of a lime taste though. I think it was roasted peppers.
