Who the hell are we?
    #14221247 - 04/01/11 02:15 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

So yesterday at night me and my gf couldn't sleep, and right after fucking a bit she sais she sees weird stuff when she closes her eyes, random images, and this was not a dream. So I closed my eyes and started seeing random images too.
Then I realized, oh god these random images are always running in my head, like some trippy movie. Most times you won't notice these at all, you just think your thoughts and are involved with that, but when you pause your deep thought for a moment and look, you see random images that absolutely make no fucking sense at all. So I came to conclusion: these images are always happening, and you can not control nor understand it, like a mind has a mind of its own.

One explanation would be, that alter mind constantly sorts its thoughts, all the thoughts you have ever aquired, and it is always doing that, sorting. But we can not control it. It is like something else is living inside us, something that is controlling us. You can not control your own heart, you can not control your reflexes, and you can not control your mental imagery that is constantly happening -- I am not talking about thoughts here, these are images that always happen and have no explanation, not thought involved. But what if these images affect our decision making mind? Like someone else is giving us orders, someone else is controlling our body and mind. Is it the inner you? But you actually have no recollection of inner you, so how can it be inner you? How do you know it is inner you?

Mind, altered states and ego are just part of a functioning body, that is controlled. You really can not say that you are your mind. So I ask like Alan Watts did: Who are you?

I think, therefore I am, but where am I and who is putting those thoughts in my head?

You are where you are, and it is not a who, but a what, that puts ideas in your head.

How do you know? Can you explain a little further?

I am where I am, but where exactly am I?

Oh I don't know shit man.

"I am where I am, but where exactly am I? "

I said you are where you are to highlight how your location is what it is. I could say you are in a home, at a computer, in a city, on a planet, in the universe, in reality, but these are reference words that are used to refer to your location. Your location itself, is what it is.

Now, there is the issue of what "you" is. I don't know the answer to that question. When talking about matters of location we rarely have to get that philosophical. Generally, we say our location is the place that is occupied by our body, but as for where "you" is, I doubt you would find it.
