What kind of proof do you require? Logical proof? Intuitive proof?
Sensual proof?

What are you?

Are you that which you sense? If you cease to sense would you still
‘perceive’?

What would you perceive if you could not sense anything?

Helen Keller could not see nor hear. So obviously those two senses are
not important to our being. What if she also could not smell or taste?
Would see still exist?

Well, obviously she could feel. She could feel both physically and
emotionally.

Can you imagine for a moment that you could not have any physical
sensations at all? What would you have left? Well, you’d still have
the ability to think, and you’d have the ability to ‘feel’ emotions.
They might not be accompanied by all of the physical sensations, but you
could still know whether you are happy, sad, content or frustrated.

What if you couldn’t think?

Let’s go the other way. Imagine that you can feel all your physical
senses, but you can’t ‘think’. By ‘think’ I’m speaking in logical
terms. Can you imagine this? You can ‘perceive’ your senses, but you
have no ability to ‘think’ about them logically.

It’s highly likely that many animals are like this. Especially lower
forums of animals. I believe that even cats and dog ‘thing’ rationally
to some degree. They seem to be able to easy recognize friend and foe.

However, imagine that you can only perceive without actually thinking.
It is possible to imagine this. You see things around you and feel
their textures but have no clue what their ‘names’ are or what their
function are. You merely perceive their existence. You ‘experience’
them but don’t think about them.

Well, now we’ve come full circle. It’s clear that you’re not your
senses because you can think without senses, and it’s also clear that
you aren’t your logical thoughts because you can perceive with senses
alone.

So what the hell are you then?

I’ll leave it up to you to do this as a homework problem.

Due Monday morning.

No grades given for late work.

Abra, you ask me who I?

Well, yes I may be able to see, feel, taste, smell, and hear. I can
think and I can feel. In a normal sense I am a whole. I have the ability
to do all those things. I understand that there may be some people that
can not.

But just because there are some poeple that can not do some of these
things does not mean that they are any less a human. Does not mean that
the atoms and stuff are not there. It just means that like almost
everything else there are flaws. I am not saying that we a re perfect or
anything.

If I could think but had no senses there would be no sensory input for
me to frame my thoughts with.

I look at life as a big book. People are always searching for more. They
are never satisfied with what they have so they are always seeking
further. But why? This is it to me. This is life.

Ok, you get an A+ for turning in your homework early.

Nice job!

Wisper you are so right.

'But why? This is it to me. This is life.'

Life at this point in your developement. What you do with it will
determine where life will be at the next point in your development.

Live it!

lol actually can you prove jesus or God is real? lol jesus historically
speaking the only thing you could prove is there is a man named jesus
of nazareth born in bethlehem to joseph and mary..and that's pretty much
all we got.. so technically nto a good argument..

Interesting comparison Whisper, and I can see your points...refreshing
post gurl...fantastic mind you have

MM - so do you mean to tell me, if we could come up with a real life
superman, that somewhere in history there might be a new religions, with
a compilation of the most holy, in full color, comic style codex?

I think it could happen, that's what scares me most about people
