I am doing, but I am not the doer.?

Question

I am not doing this or that, because this and that are subjective concepts of my mind. I am not doing nothing, because my body is existing. Although I am doing something, I am not creating that something out of nothing, so I am not entirely doing something (if I was walking, I am not creating the places where I walk). But I am doing, because I know that I am doing. So if I am doing, therefore, I know that I am.

Does this make sense to you?

To clarify on the "doing something" point, if I am walking, I am doing something (walking) within my objective reality. So in that sense, I would be the doer.

Answer 1

Sounds to me like you are doing nothing, and enjoying doing it.

Answer 2

Well in a dualistic, Cartesian, way then yes, it makes 'sense' in that I can understand what you are saying. In fact it somewhat echos Descartes "I think, therefore I am".

Which isn't to say that I agree with you. Because my personal philosophy is more monistic (there is no division between 'mind' and 'matter').

If you're interested, Spinoza or 'Eastern' philosophy (which generally holds that people are an intrinsic and inseparable part of the universe, and that attempts to discuss the universe from an objective viewpoint as though the individual speaking was something separate and detached from the whole are inherently absurd ) will provide further food for thought.

Answer 3

not really,,,, just because you dont create something out of nothing, would not mean you are doing nothing,,,,, you breathe, you didnt personally create you body or lungs nor air, etc,,,,,, nor even make yourself breathe,,,,,,, yet you are doing it,,,, as you means your body/mind/spirit etc,,,,,,
you walk, so you are "doing" something,,, most peoples bodies dont just get up and walk on their own, without a mental command,,,,,, (unless perhaps your sleep-walking), so even the command, is an action,,,,, an action is doing something

Answer 4

Lets hear it for convoluted logic.
