Who am I? Where do we truly exist?

Mind or matter? What is more important?

Well science tells me that I exist in some a strange phenomenon called Space-Time. Apparently it’s a continuum too. It’s linear. That means there is no turning back and presumably -putting all my eggs in one basket- Hawking and Co. might be right that we will see an end to it in a few billion years. But as for now I physically exist in space time. I am tangible. Enough said.

But my existence or identity could be considered intangible. My identity as a blogger appears here, most simplistically as the electric impulses of 1’s and 0’s but miraculously programmed into a coherent expression of self – that is – the writer. I exist as I am typing this out on Microsoft word with all permutations of conscious feelings, I also exist to you, my (dear) reader wherever you reside on the earth’s mantle my identity –creepily- follows these truncated words of inner intimacy.

The duality of both existences certainly presses for more inner questioning, however before I get too lost down the rabbit hole of ‘Cogito ergo sum’, and start ranting on about all the oblique mishmash of philosophical existence I’ll put the matter to rest. By the way…

Who are you?
