fresh start felix

[Richard B.]

lets just start with a question about reactions.

what is the emotional/ physical reaction when you read the following statement:

There is no felix...never has been, never will be. he does not exist and is only a conglomerate of things. no matter how hard you search, you will NEVER find an intrinsic core part that can be shown as "felix". he is an illusion, a feeling created by a brain/ mind.

Okay, reactions are the following:

There is no felix...never has been, never will be.

"huh, what does this mean? sounds funny..." - pretty much no reaction at all, like I am not really considering what the sentence even means.

he does not exist and is only a conglomerate of things. no matter how hard you search, you will NEVER find an intrinsic core part that can be shown as "felix". he is an illusion, a feeling created by a brain/ mind.

"Yeah, yeah, this sounds right." - that sums up my reaction.

lets examine the body/ mind organism:

are you the body? yes or no and explain

are you the brain/ mind? yes or no and explain

are you the thoughts/ ideas/ memories? yes or no and explain

are you your emotions and emotional reactions? yes or no and explain

Also, you may have gone through the following exercise before, but, please look at the table nearest you and try to determine which part of the construct "table" is the actual table. Is it the legs? Is it the top? Is it the sides? Frame? Structure? IS there actually a table, or just parts?

Hey, let me start with this first, because I actually did this before I answered the other questions.
When I read it, especially that last sentence, it hit me: there IS no table, no table AT ALL. just the parts, but nowhere a TABLE. fucking sick.

lets examine the body/ mind organism:

are you the body? yes or no and explain

No, because every time I came up with a "yes", and and explanation, it wouldn't take long until I would find some mistake in that explanation, which showed that it was wrong.

-- at this point i saved a draft, and the rest is written about 24h later --

are you the brain/ mind? yes or no and explain

No, because I can have emotions etc, while the brain is simply a brain, much like a stone or sth, and it doesn't have emotions or anything.

are you the thoughts/ ideas/ memories? yes or no and explain

No. I can have thoughts, ideas, memories, but they are not me. They are something I have/own, like a chair or a table or some food.

are you your emotions and emotional reactions? yes or no and explain

No, my emotions and emotional reactions influence me, and control me, but they are not me, but it looks like there is nothing else, except for the emotions and reactions, like no me at all...
