You are what you think, can you prove?

Can I prove what,,, that I am what I think I am or that my thoughts are influenced by what I am so that I am what I think about
You are what you think, can you prove?
im not what i think i am but someone else thinks i am
You are what you think, can you prove?
Considering that everything we do can be explained by the operations of our brains, and our brains produce thought, it is reasonable to assume that what constitutes %26#039;us%26#039; is our current brain activity, which will likely include our past experience as a determining factor.


Because this is a reasonable assumption to make, it does not require any further proof (from me at least), and so the burden of proof rests on anybody suggesting otherwise.





I hope this answers your question, but as Alan says it%26#039;s very vague.
Reply:You can observe a tree in front of the house. You can observe a car on the road, You are not the tree or car. You can observe your body. You are not the body. You can observe your mind. You are not the mind. But you can act as Driver or motivational force to think good and to act good. If we fail to bring this awareness then ot is difficult to controle our thoughts and actions.
Reply:Your question is vague and incomplete to the point of being sophomoric.





It is clear, however, that we are much more than just what we think we are. Out consciousness, for example, is a virtually seamless composite of our body schema (which is largely unconsciousness) and our body image (which a good part is conscious). Even the body image is composed of our sense of awareness and our sense of self, which are clearly two separate processes in our mind. Also the sense of self is on a continuum and is augmented by our experiences and social homogenization.





Exactly what you mean by %26quot;think%26quot; is also indistinct. Thinking is used to describe feelings, beliefs, attitudes, cognition, problem solving, caring, and many more functions. Do you mean all of them or just some of them, and if only some, which ones?





What is clear, however, is that I (my ego or self) is not the total sum of what I (the body image) does. This can be shown by studies in the philosophy of neuroscience and cognitive sciences.
Reply:Body, and the consciousness is %26quot;you%26quot;.


%26quot;Thinking%26quot; is mindful or unmindful reflections that mind consciousness engage and holds on to.





if Noble thoughts are encouraged at that moment you become a noble person as nobleness is the only thing that


is in existence.





if ignoble thoughts are encouraged at that moment you become a ignoble person as ignobleness is the only thing that is in existence.





But this does not mean that they remain the same. as everything is in a state of flux, and as conditions attribute to the being of a person, an ignoble can change into noble and a noble can change into ignoble.


so its a %26quot;yes%26quot;





If this question is viewed from an ultimate sense however, I have to say %26quot;no%26quot;
Reply:Yes, no, maybe..whats the question again. . . .
Reply:sure......... no problem... I THINK I%26#039;m a writer. Can I PROVE it? Yep. My BA and MFA degrees, my first mystery novel, my 2 non fiction books on male/female communicating, and my wall full of certificates for my poetry. I call that proof...
