【your name】


"Who are you?"

It's a very simple question.

you have a name

If you are in a happy environment, you will also have nationality, date of birth, address, and ID card.

In addition, physical characteristics such as your teeth, fingerprints, retinas or DNA can help you find out who you are.


In this way, it is easy to answer "your name" to the question "Who are you?" , will be readily answered if necessary.

Or, "Which category does it belong to in this natural world?" can be answered by the readers of this blog.


However, these "you" represented by your name are just a designation for identifying "you" in the external environment, and are not the main body of "you".

【your body】


You are looking at the "screen" in front of you.

I'm not just looking at it casually.

I am trying to understand the meaning of the written content while converting the shape of the "character" projected on the screen into some kind of image in my "brain".


At this time, the "screen frame" should also be in your field of vision, but unless you pay particular attention to it, your "consciousness" does not have much information about the "frame".

Yes, your "mind" is now focused on understanding the text, and your body's systems are intentionally blocking out other information.


So here is the question.

"What are you thinking about now?"


By this question, your "awareness" has switched from understanding the text to looking at "yourself" from the outside.


I'll sort this out.

It is your "unconscious" area that recognizes the "frames you don't care about".

It is the realm of your "awareness" that is striving for "writing comprehension".

It is the realm of your 'ego' that sees 'yourself' from the outside.


These three realms all make up the body of 'you'.


【Who are you?】


Since ancient times, human beings have pursued the "mind".

"Mind" in this case means almost the same as "soul", "me" or "consciousness".

Among them, there is a major division between the trend that the "mind" is a special part independent of the "body" and the trend that the "mind" is just a part of the "body".

In modern times, the latter is overwhelmingly dominant, but we have yet to reach a unified view of "consciousness."

In this chaotic situation, in this blog, I will consider "what you are" with you.


Now, let's embark on a true 'journey of self-discovery'.

This journey begins by asking yourself:


"Who are you?"
