Am i my own matrix?

Another way of asking this is: Am i the brain and the vat at the same time?

@NahmThank you for your reply. It appears to me that you apprached the question from a more idealistic angle. I was trying to communicate a spesific idea about the way of being. But thank you nonetheless.

so, communicate it. 

you want to know what being is?

Being is pure observation. consciousness. A state.

@Bluff thank you. What i wanted to say is for me a bit hard to express. Another way of asking the same question would be; "Am i the puppet and the puppet master?" or "Do i show to myself what i see?". Brain in a vat is a scenario often used in thought experiments.

@Amun Mu. 

The brain does not control your body, it is not the seat of Consciousness, it is just another perception. 

What is this "I" You speak of? Define it.

@TheAvatarState In that example brain doesn't refer to the biological organ, but rather symbolizes where perception happens / what perception happens to, whereas the vat represents what creates the experience of perception, which is similar to the matrix example where matrix is the creator of experience whereas the person in matrix is the object of the experience, to whom experience happens.

Question not applicable.


Please do not pay attention to my empty words if you are following Leo's teaching !!
Sometimes my empty words may appear too negative, too rational, too irrational, egoistical or even like trolling because my path is a non-path and is nothing but deviation and incompatible with all teachings known.

@Amun exactly the same thing. Again, mu. Meaning, question not applicable, leading with false assumptions, question begging. Look up the Zen Mu koan.

@Amun the matrix is still an ideology so, while it is a good metaphor in some respects, don't lean onto it. Just don't believe anything
