If I think, therfore I am, then what am I?

Answer 1

Well Descartes in his phrase, "Cogito, ergo sum." or "I think, therfore I am" means that thought exists. 'Thought cannot be separated from me, therefore, I exist.'
This means that we exist in the MENTAL form, but requires further explanation to prove such is the PHYSICAL form. Basically, this is a form of complete skepticism--anything that can be doubted must not, without further investigation and clarification, be true.

The answer: YOU ARE A THOUGHT!

Answer 2

This is, according to great sages, the most important question one can ask. You can understand that you ARE. You are existing, but what are you, what is your identity? Are you a body? Well, if you take each individual part and ask, "Am I this hand, am I this leg, am I this face"?, you can answer logically, "No, I am not the hand, the leg or the face". You are not the body, you HAVE a body, so who is this person who has a body? You know that you are individual. You know that the life energy is sustaining the body, and that when the energy is gone, then the body is "dead", and immediately becomes inanimate, and disintigrates. So, your identity must be that energy, which is called the soul.

You are an individual spiritual soul. Every living thing has a soul, and the expression of the soul is consciousness. Plants have less consciousness, and animals have more consciousness, and humans have still more consciousness, but the commonality between them is the soul, which is of equal measure in every living thing. The soul is unmade, uncreated, and eternal, according to the Bhagavad-Gita. There was never a time when the soul was not existing, nor will there ever be a time when the soul is not existing. Sometimes, according to the level of consciousness one attains, the soul inhabits a body, and sometimes the soul does not inhabit a material body. In any case, the individual remains the same.

Answer 3

To pose, nearly, Descartes "Cogito ergo sum" and to believe it, is to misunderstand his philosophy and belief. Descartes did not dispute that human beings exisited he was merely posing the question how we could arrive at irrefragable knowledge. And that is impossible unless we agree on some basic beliefs.

Answer 4

That depends-if you allow your thoughts to dictate what you are , then you will think you are what your thoughts tell you, but it is NOT who and what you truly are. People's thoughts are manufactured and distract. What you are, are the quiet spaces between your thoughts! Be still and know who you are.
