People try to separate philosophy and science but, they are inextricably linked as the question one raises, forces the other to look for answers, the breakthrough of one will raise more questions for the other to consider

This is very interesting,so simple yet so difficult. Very recently i came across a discussion of this same reasoning and it went thus

From your very childhood, people kept calling you 'John' and you have come to believe, "I am John." You believe this name to be you. In reality you are not that, but you insist that you are 'John' because everyone tells you so. Since you do not know who you really are, you believe yourself to be the name that you have been given. This has had a very powerful psychological effect on you. This effect is so deeply ingrained within you, that you believe that you are 'John'. This belief is wrong, and because of this wrong belief, you have spent countless lives 'sleeping with your eyes open' (oblivious to your real identity).

I will love to see where this post leads us to
