i met my self again just recently. I said is america two different countries because it sure seems like it.
Try finding something that causes tears or joy you will meet up with your self unless you dont care about anything whatsoever than the self is hard to find.

Being a self means never having to ask the question.Dontaskme wrote:Where is this Self that everyone seems to be talking about?
Asking the question means you're just being silly.

qui or chi is life essence the am. it is an omnipresent feeling local to the body when the spirit is affected. peace is a literal feeling for example. spiritual energy is distinguishable from sensory feelings to me.
then there is the world of thoughts where you don't feel at all typically unless they spirit affect.

Re: If there is a Self, where is it?
That would seem to mean there are no objects, simply an object. That there are no constituents of the universe, there is just universe. Yet the funny thing is, that individual people would not only disagree with this particular hypothesis but many others as well. If there are no selves, then it would seem that we'd all agree, and know everything about everything. Self is just this particular package of matter. That we each are born of and exist within the entirety of the single universe is immaterial to the fact that it has many groupings of matter contained within it. A self is any particular grouping, it is in and of it-self, yet contained within, a part of, the one!Ginkgo wrote: ↑Fri Nov 04, 2016 3:55 amPhilosophy Explorer wrote:Nowheres and everywheres.

Funny you should say that. Dennett's Multiple Drafts theory attempts to debunk the Cartesian Theatre. Dennett proposes a multiple drafts model, whereby the "self" is a brain state spread throughout the brain in place and time. Prinz, on the other hand, proposes an Attended Intermediate Level Representation theory, whereby the "self" arises at the intermediate level of perception. In both cases Prinz and Dennett would claim "self" is illusory. Both theories are compatible with materialism/physicalism.
