hey guys! this is my first post on philosophy category. have you ever ask this questions-where does self comes from? who am i? im not referring to names or bio data. im referring to consciousness that defines our existence. it bothers me. is there something inside us that already exist before we born? or everything on us has beginning? Filipinos are very religious but im different, im on science. im born catholic but i as grow older i no longer believe on my beliefs and i choose the path of science. but science has no explanation on self. maybe in some future time. the more im aware of my existence the more i doubt that i was created. what do you think people? i would be happy to know your opinion :)

Have you considered that maybe our existence defines our consciousness and that our consciousness does not define our existence?RobLucci wrote:im referring to consciousness that defines our existence.

Re: self
Everything is energy. Energy is neither created or destroyed.
By those merits I personally believe the following:
Reincarnation happens. Our consciousness....our personality...our self...it is the qualities characteristics and traits of the eternal energetic essence that is who we are. The body is but a vessel for the spirit. Spirit is energy. Your self in that sense would be your soul.

Re: self
Our self is not our mind, our self is what we do with our minds. Like gracono said our bodies are vessels for the spirit. Our self is a spirit figure that resides inside our body and precieves the world using the five senses our body is equip with. Non of these five senses can percieve the soul within us that is our self but that doesn't mean that it isn't there.
