Who Are You!?

You can not say that you are something, because all that you are, are not you;

You can not say that you are the body because your body is made of parts that are not a body;

You can not say that you are the mind because your mind is a set of neural associations that are not the mind;

You can not say that you are not something, because "not something" is something, because it is an interpretation of your mind;

You can not say that you are an eternal soul, as well as being an idea, you can not see your soul, not even feel the same as it is beyond what you consider to be "yourself".

Who are you?!

Or what it is "you"?!

If you do not know, why fight so much to achieve what you want, if not even know what or who are you!?

Please, share your thoughts! It is not a religious topic, just some questions about who are you!

 

“I am Me. In all the world, there is no one else exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine, because I alone chose it --

I own everything about me: my body, my feelings, my mouth, my voice, all my actions, whether they be to others or myself. I own my fantasies, my dreams, my hopes, my fears. I own my triumphs and successes, all my failures and mistakes.

Because I own all of me, I can become intimately acquainted with me. By so doing, I can love me and be friendly with all my parts. I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me, and other aspects that I do not know -- but as long as I am friendly and loving to myself, I can courageously and hopefully look for solutions to the puzzles and ways to find out more about me.

However I look and sound, whatever I say and do, and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time is authentically me. If later some parts of how I looked, sounded, thought, and felt turn out to be unfitting, I can discard that which is unfitting, keep the rest, and invent something new for that which I discarded.

I can see, hear, feel, think, say, and do. I have the tools to survive, to be close to others, to be productive, and to make sense and order out of the world of people and things outside of me. I own me, and therefore, I can engineer me. I am me, and I am Okay.”

-Virginia Satir

That is not true actually b/c sperm w/o an egg is just a sperm. It's not a you and doesnt start to even become anything resembling a you until fertilization process has started and the cells start dividing.

i am a lump of cells pooled together to form a physical body that continuously decay over time? o.o

Very beautiful and interesting, but...

Everything you know about yourself comes from perceptions that help you understand the world and make some associations, but you are not this, as stated, if we dismember our body and mind, this will create things that are not us...

Everything that you are talking about are part of your memories, your thoughts and personality, but this is not you...you have give me beautiful answers, like Ashtar, but as I said, I'm not asking for what you think you are, or what you feel about yourself, but who are you.

If you have failed to correctly answer my questions, so why lost time to answer questions made from who you think you are, but are not you!?

We cling to what we perceive about ourselves and say that it is ours, but it will dissolve whan we die, then none of this is "we".

Everything is changing and what makes you still think it's you, is the ability of your brain to make associations ... but who are you?!

I told about your brain now, but not about you!

You can tell me a lot of nonsense and even evade the issue, but still will not say who you are and if you do not know about you, then everything you say could not have value even to another person ...

 

i wish i could talk like him . ill make fun of so many people around me that wouldnt understand a thing i say xD..

i might have the answer in the bible . with a few verse from different chapters , a bit religious though ;o

 

Lol,

If you do that the people will start another topic or discussion, because they can't look into themselves...

You can tell me what the Bible tell, but what you really know about you!? What you can really say with your own words!?
