Philosophy. Who I am?

Your thoughts about this? When I no longer I? Do I mean what we think or how we think?

~~~ "Cogito Ergo Sum!"

"I think, therefore I am!" - Descartes

This saying is exactly true, as it refers to the egoic construct of autonomous existence of a 'self', an 'I', as opposed to a 'you'/'other'.

'Ego' is the same, one and the same, as 'thought'!

Hence 'thought' being where this (egoic) 'self' exists. That is the 'I' to which the quote refers!

No 'thought/ego' = no egoic 'I'!

There can be no 'I' without 'thought'.

Thought, though, does not 'create' the egoic "I", they are one and the same, as perceived!

We don't 'think outside the box', 'thought' IS the box!

The above referenced 'I', or small 's' 'self' cannot exist in a thoughtless state, such as a Zen state where no such distinctions can be perceived.

There only exists 'one', (capital 'S') 'Self!', which is 'Universally all inclusive'. Which does not disappear when 'thought' is no longer perceived!

Ask any successful meditator, or check it out yourself.

Capisce'?

It is 'thought' that says, "I am not that!"

"Thou Art That!"

There is One (unchanging, ALL inclusive) Universal Reality/Self!

Every moment of Universal existence, is a unique Conscious Perspective of the One Reality!

The One Omni- Self!

+ sth?

~~~ I do not know what this means.

"Wake-up, wake-up. Behold the Self which shines like the sun!"
