I am self aware, I think therefore I AM,

Post Reply New Topic

I am self aware, I think therefore I AM, I exist.
If it were not for I AM none of you would exist.
Only my senses tells me that you are, and they can be fooled.
While I AM is consistent in its awareness and depth.
If life is but a dream, then its my dream to live.
Therefore I AM god of my own world and my own dreams.
Which includes this one.

Anyone here care to debate this?

You would still exist if you weren't self-aware. I mean, look at jellyfish; they don't even have brains, but they definitely live and exist.

Can you pin down an actual "I" or is it all smoke and mirrors?
You wear clothes (presumably ) and you are aware that you are not those clothes.
You are aware of your body - is your body you or something you inhabit?
You are aware of your thoughts - are they you or merely mental objects that you are aware of or manipulate?
What of emotions and feelings? Are they you or do you observe them?
What are you?

Hey TallyMan, you would have been fun to debate with, and I was in just that mood for a good debate, but not now, the moment was fleeting then became full of distractions, perhaps we can pick this up later. I hope you read up some on being and nothingness by jean-paul sartre.
