are you certain that you exist? if you are; how can you prove it?

Answer 1

"Cogito Ergo Sum"

I think therefore I exist

Answer 2

we are both "exist" and "not exist". In ego level, we do exist because we have an "I" feeling, thinking or sensing. But In reality ego is an illusion. So where there is "non ego", we are all connected into one big system with the universe. In this case, there is not an "I" anymore. I, you and they are just words made by ego. Little proof : when we are still less than a month or even inside our mother womb, can we remember ? Can we think, feel or sense ? We didn't exist at that time because the "I" has not come up yet. There is no ego, we are still connected with universe.

Answer 3

Are you certain that you do not exist? if you are then how come an object of water and energy can type and ask this question. how can you prove that you do not exist.? to get a total answer to your question you would have to prove that you did not exist, that you do not take up energy, time and space.

Answer 4

My dear to be certain you exist and to prove you exist, has the answer in itself. If you were not certain and if you could not prove you exist, you could never have asked the question, why? because you would not exist. So also is the answer to you're being certain, if you were not certain you would never expect an answer, so there. As for me I believe both.

Answer 5

None of us exist, this is all fake, and it can be proven mathematically.

The universe is infitite. Not all planets are populated. Thus, 'life' is a finite amount, in terms of the number of living things.

Any finite number divided by infinity is so small, it's an irrelevant number. Thus, nothing and noone exists.

Answer 6

Yes, I exist as much as you do and all of us do.

The real proof of existence (as we normally understand to exist) is change across the time dimension. I change as time passes. Hence I exist in the normal sense.

If there is anything that does not change at all at any time whatsoever, it is as good as non-existent, since it neither impacts anything else nor is impacted by anything else - not even by itself. That existence is a kind of 'invisible' and 'unrecognisable' being which does not occupy either the space or the time dimension.

Answer 7

Milk is white, leaves are green - Just look through your eyes.

Flowers are beautiful and fragrance is good - hold the flower in you hand near your nose. - see, touch and enjoy through nos-trills

Baby is so sweet , its words are musical - see it, hold the baby, touch it, hear the baby sounds and look at its smile.

Close you eyes. Sit in a place calmly for 5 minutes. Do you think you can stop the flow of thoughts in your brain ?

Is your body respiring and you are feeling ?
Are you able to distinguish stale food and fresh food ?
Are you able to distinguish day and nights ?
Are you able to eat and make the food disappear from your plate ?
Are you able to smile when some one smiles at you ?
Can you listen some one talking to you patiently ?


Sorry the list can be too big.

I hope I have given you lots of things on which you can decide whether you are existing are not

Good luck in your effort.

Answer 8

The only way to prove it (and the proof ends within oneself only, not at all possible to bring it out and produce it before others !), is to deepen the level of perception beyond sense organs to be able to perceive all the dimensions/levels of life/consciousness at the same time !

Answer 9

To doubt the fact that you exist is impossible, since you have to doubt, i.e. you can't doubt the fact that you doubt. It would violate the law of contradiction , for one, but 2, you are doing the doubting. So Cogito ergo sum, yes, could be "I doubt therefore I AM. For Descartes, it's the most clear and distinct idea, namely, the way in which the self presents itself to itself.

Answer 10

Well, if the constellation does not exist as we "see" it now..making it part of history.. Then it is possible that we are just part of history too in the same context as the constellation, that is not there anymore...as we see it..

I think therefore I am.., good answer, but what is "think"?

So we think we are here?? hmmmm
good question:

Answer 11

There is no "I" or "me" that exists...just ask the question...who am i?..over and over again...and you will keep finding the same answers...Am I my Job, Am I my personality, am I my house, am I my family....Are you really those things or are they just aspects of being alive? Ultimately there is nobody home....just a collection of experiences and memories and energy.
