The most worrying thing is that this “you” who is in some kind of “charge” is just a figment of your imagination.

And since your cells are constantly dying and being replaced, you isn’t even you anymore.

That depends on your view of what we are, I do not believe we are pur bodies and my opinion on that is not up to debate of you want to argue with me on it

I like the buddhist idea that our consciousness is what governs our mind, and our mind governs the body. Through meditation, you can start to see from the perspective of your consciousness, and not just your mind.

Is that what you are talking about?
