How do you identify "Your" self? Answer yes or no to the following:
1- Do "you" get up in the morning?
2- Do "you" get hungry?
3- Do "you" eat food?
4- Do "you" digest food?
5- Do "you" grow your hair?
6- Do "you" breathe air?
7- Do "you" keep your feet on the ground?
8- Do "you" walk (or otherwise move) around?
9- Did "you" make your muscles?
10- Do "you" make your heart beat?
11- Do "you" make the sun come up?
12- Could "you" exist without sunlight?
13- Could "you" exist without air?
14- Could "you" exist without skin?
15- Did "you" make you skin?
16- Did "you" make the air?
17- Do "you" think your thoughts?
18- Do "you" speak?
19- Do "you" hear?
20- Did "you" create your language?
There, 20 questions, that's not too much. Yes or no. The big question is: are all the "yes" ones You and all the "no" ones Not You?

Well, I'm glad at least a few people actually answered the questions... and also some people have no imagination. Why do people answer questions like "This question isn't even worth answering... ".
If that's how you feel, DON'T ANSWER IT.
I certainly won't miss your confused, party-pooper answer.

I like J-Boys answer, even though he was being a smart-@ss. At least it was funny.

1. yes
2. yes
3. yes
4. yes
5. who else is going to do it?
6. yes, unfortunately for the christians that want my atheist soul in hell
7. when i could be having them in the air? I can choose not to have them there within reason
8. yes
9. it was a joint effort, my mother helped
10. hmm, i feed it, give it air and fluids and something to do by pumping my blood around. so, yeah
11. Not my job, the Universe can take care of that, i got enough on my plate
12. if everyone else helped me i could do a good enough job, but that would be boring
13. could anyone? How does this relate to the self?
14. Only as a zombie, and again, what's this to do with the self?
15. Again, joint effort when i was being grown and hadn't been born.
16. Huh? This relates to the self how? Know anyone that DOES claim to make the air? Unless i'm a NASA scientist on the space station i'm thinking not
17. Pretty much 24/7
18. Yes.
19. yes
20. Didn't need to, came pre-packaged. English version 5.7. Might have modded a bit.
Some of those questions have nothing to do with me. A lot of them are me or go into what I am and the rest don't eem to important for me to worry about, because whether I did them or made them, they're still there.

Huh.
Your question is either inane, or startlingly profound. I'm tending towards the latter.
In fact, there is not one of those questions to which I could give an absolute Yes or an absolute No. Rather, each demands a slightly different interpretation of the word "you" before answering, and each could go either way depending on that definition. Very clever.

Aha. You are beginning to wonder.
A body does many things, however, there is then also the mind and spirit. A body without a spirit is nothing. The spirit is the life. It is the you. The body, is just that, a body. The powers of the spirit/being are ever more powerful than you can even begin to imagine.
There is a lot of salvation to be had with Man in his current state.

If I could get an answer to the eternal query "Who am I" , I would have become divine and I have no purpose in living further. I only know presently "I am" living to ask such a question. In our Hindu philosophy this is an important question. Our ancient Religious Texts like "Vedas" and "Upanishads" try to answer this question.

these questions just prove there are some things mortals do and other things mortals rely on a Higher POWER to do, which is obvious. don't really see the point but guess you have one.
