If you want to utter irrelevant philosophical mind masturbation, be my guest. For the meanwhile - it means nothing. Certainly it is nothing meaningful in the realm of sexual encounters and attraction of the opposite sex (which is an individual "thing").
There very well exists a me with all of my beliefs, fears, anxieties, behaviour patterns, quirks and traits. Be it an "illusion" of some sort, perhaps - but it's a very consistent one.
Cheers.
This is only irrelevant philosophical masturbation when you don't take practical action by looking to see if what is being said is true.
That means looking to see if there is a you who is reading this post, or looking to see if there is a you who masturbates or whatever.
Or is it just a body doing all those things, without the need for some separate entity controlling it?
No thoughts belong to 'you' because there is no you.
This you is yet another thought that other thoughts are attached to.
Every thought prefixed by 'the elephant in the room' is attached to the elephant in the room.
If the elephant is real, then these thoughts actually refer to something real.
However if it doesn't, then we call it imagination.
Well Im saying that the 'you' that is attached to many thoughts is not something real and it just imagined.
Yes there is a body that has thoughts, emotions, shits, eats etc.
But there is no you involved in any of those processes.
Look to see if Im bullshitting, or if there might really be NO YOU.
