Sitting and Writing in Solitude: What am I? Who is asking this question? Who/what wants to know who/what I am? It cannot be a perception. A sight cannot want to know anything. Neither a sound itself, a touch, a feeling, taste or smell. But a thought? All of this self-talk in the mind. Does the voice has an agenda? No, not the voice itself. The voice is creating thoughts which are just like sounds. But meanings are projected onto those sounds. Illusions, the ego, is created. Out of perception an instance with an agenda got created. So is the ego asking 'what am I'?. Yes. Am I the ego? No, I am not a perception. What am I, if I am not a perception? Who cares? I don't care.
