No. A human body is a collection of physical stuff, blood, bone, tissue, hair, atoms. What is thought? Where is thought? What is thought made of?
Most people agree that when the body dies the spirit/whatever lives on, so if the body dies and the thing that make's you.........you, then that must live on. So while you may think you are a human body having a human experience, you are actually a spirit/something having a human experience through a human body.
Where do you think creative power/thought/choice comes from? You physical mind/body/brain?
It can never be dangerous to understand who and what you are unless you believe you're god and from a human bean POV, that is an egotistical, potentially harmful way to view reality, because you envoke your believed power to control others and to suspend beliefs that are in place to protect you.
Personal development (this forum) is about developing your person and that includes
your whole person, not just the physical stuff.
