who are you? have you ever wondered who you really are? hi, my name is tsur and in this video we are going to answer

gambar rumah, this eternal question. well, many may think that this questionis too philosophical,

and that it's notreally answerable because the "i"is an abstract concept a product of our mind it is not a real thing. the truth is that the "i" is not a made-up concept it's a real phenomenon in fact, it's the one mostreal thing in your life, but i'll explain thisclaim in another time.

the most interesting thing is that each one of us has at this moment all the necessaryknowledge and experience to answer this question. so, let us start withthe common answer if i asked you or any other personon the street you or he may say:

"well i am john" and then i'd say: "yeah, but you can changeyour name to michael and you will stillremain yourself" and then he might answer: "well of course i'm not my name, it's only a reference. i'm a human being" and this is the common answer:

we are human beings, a biological organism - in other words, i am my body. but, why do we limit our "i" to the boundariesof the body? lets say we arein a car; why don't weidentify ourselves as the car?

why don't we say "i am the car!" and the simple answeryou would give might be: "because i'm still meeven if i'm not in the car. even if the car ceasesto exist - i remain, therefore i'm not the car" in other words the thing which is me must remain constant

everywhere i am and thereforei am my body since my body iseverywhere i am... is it? let us examineif this is true, and in orderto do so we will have to do ashort mental experiment: i want you to imagine that you havelost your palm.

please you do nothave to imagine how or why just, gently imagine that you do not haveyour palm anymore. now, while doing that, ask yourself ifyou are still you? or whether you aresomeone else... and it is most obviousthat you'll answer

that you arestill yourself. just as you continuebeing yourself without the car, you continue tobe yourself without your palm. this means thatthe palm is yours but it is not you! continue to imagineyourself without a foot, a leg, a kidney, an ear,

and check ifyou are still you. you can easilyapply this test to almost everypart of your body; and in factthere are so many people who can testify to this since they hadactually lost parts of their body, but remained themselves. so, we have foundsomething incredible:

the "i" is not the body! i am not my body! at least notmost of its parts; it might be moredifficult to examine. if we are the brainfor example but, i'll cover this issuein a separate video since it's notreally necessary in order for us tocontinue our investigation. so,

what is the i? who am i? well maybei am the mind! the psyche! the mind psyche or,what i prefer to call: the inner world, is composed mainly ofthree types of impulses, coming eitherfrom our memory, or from ourpresent's perception.

these impulses are: sensations, which come fromthe five senses; emotions, such as anger,fear, love etc... and thoughts. their unique composition forms what we may call: our personality.

it is quite easy for us to imagine ourselvesas a mind separate from the body. we have all seenmovies like: avatar, big and heaven can wait, in which a person lives in a different body and remains himself

are we our mind? first of alli can notice that my thoughts,emotions and sensations change each moment, so they cannot be me... remember: the thing which is me must remain constanteverywhere i am. if i can lose orchange a part of me

and remain myself this part is not me! this is valid tophysical parts as well asmental parts. i feel sad and theni stop feeling sad and in both cases i'm the same me. even the total sum ofthoughts and memories which we callour personality

cannot be me, since it changesover time. as a baby i didn't have the memoriesand thoughts i have now, but this babywas still me. but, if i am not my mind, then who am i? so let us deepenour investigation,

and in order to do so we can be assisted by the followingkind of sentences: i hear my thoughts i experience joy i feel cold we can seein these sentences that the i is separatefrom the thoughts, the emotionsor the sensations.

this isn't just a"form of expression". this is anaccurate description of the psychological phenomenon taking placeinside of us: there is the thought, theemotion or the sensation and there is the "i", who observesor experiences this particularthought or emotion. i have just saidsomething that

might be difficultto understand because it'svery subtle: in the backgroundof our inner world exists another layer, the layer of experienceor awareness. you don't have tobelieve me, see for yourselves: do the followingsimple exercise: close you eyes andimagine a house.

it doesn't have tobe a clear image. the important thing isthat you will see something, even a blur. look at the imagein your head. do you see it? if you do, ask yourselvestwo questions: who sees the image? what is the thingwhich sees the image?

you might want to pausethe video for a moment, and do the exercise. welcome back! if you have donethe exercise, and you have doneit seriously, you could easily answerthe first question: who sees the image. and the answer is: "i"

"i see the image..." and what is the thingthat sees the image? it is certainly not asensation or emotion, nor is it a thought. the house is a thought. the thing thatsees the house is an observer... an experiencer... so you see,

the mind and the "i"who experience it are not the same. i am not the mind! i am the experiencer! there is a wordfor what i have called, the experiencer, and it isconsciousness. but the wordconsciousness is often used withdifferent meanings

like intelligenceor thought. so from now on, when i use theword consciousness, i will use itwith a specific meaning: "the capacity to experience" "to be aware of..." is there anythingprimordial to consciousness, which isthe real "i"? i haven't foundone yet.

we can say:"i observe my consciousness" but, this sentencehas no meaning. so at this pointthis is my answer: i am consciousness realizing thatwe are consciousness is a key factor inunderstanding reality, and it leads to new insightsand discoveries in the fields ofscience, philosophy, and even in our understandingsof our daily lives.

i hope to share with yousome of the insights it has brought me in the next videos. this also gives riseto new questions, which i don'thave answers to such as: is consciousnessa product of the brain, as scientistsbelieve today, or is it independentof the brain? in any case,

if, like me, you feel the importance of understandingthe answer to the question: please share this video so it can reachas many people as possible. if you have anyquestions or comments, please write them below so we can open a discussionon this topic, that may lead tonew understandings. thanks for watching,

and rememberwho you really are... finding thatwe are consciousness naturally leadsto the question: "what is consciousness"? so i have created a video explaining whatconsciousness is, and what itsattributes are. you can watch it by pressingthe link on the left. remember the mentalexperiment we did

to show that weare not our body? if you remember, i said that withthis method, it is difficultto conclude whether we arethe brain on not. this issue is covered onthe link on the right.
