 |  Who are you, really?...a test
Here is a little quiz: Which statements seem most natural for you to say; 1. I have a body; or, I am a body? 2. I have a brain; or, I am a brain? 3. I have a mind; or, I am a mind? 4. I have a soul; or, I am a soul? 5. I have a personality; or, I am a personality 6. I have an ego; or, I am an ego? Are you an "I have" or "I am" person? What are your thoughts on this?

Who is this "I", that has all these things? This quiz does not prove anything. It is only to cause one to question the assumptions we live with, and by.

also, even though we are not these - does not mean we get to disown them. I have a mind - but I do not reject it or deny it. I once came across something that said to repeat to yourself "I am not this body, I am not this mind". But I thought, it should be more like "I am more than this body, more that this mind", in the spirit of integration. Often people hear "ok, I'm not the ego so I shouldn't deny it and totally diminish it". But I think we are often finding ways to stay fragmented instead of reclaiming parts of our self to feel whole. | |

I have all those things, and also a flavor.

Neither of the statements really feel naturally for me. I know I 'am' not them. I know I don't 'have' them. Things exist, that is the best way I can put it.
