Who are You?

Who are you?

First, find out who’s asking. Who wants to know?

What boundaries define you? Where do you stop and where does the world begin?

Are you a sack of mostly water and calcium formations directed by a brain? Are you a brain driving a body around? Are you an ephemeral soul trapped inside a bag of bones and muscle?

Just how separate are you from everything else going on? Would there be any bags of bones and muscle without air to breathe? Would there be any bags of bones and muscle without water to drink?

If it’s true that you depend upon factors in the environment to keep you conscious and alive, how can you be fundamentally separate from the environment?

Perhaps, you’re more than a bag of bones and muscle with a brain. Perhaps there’s more to you than being a soul ambulating about in an earthly body.

Perhaps you’re part of everything that’s going on!
