“Am I my thoughts, the thoughts that I am thinking? No. Thoughts come and go; I am not my thoughts.
Am I my body? They tell us that millions of cells in our body are changed or are renewed every minute,
so that by the end of seven years we don’t have a single living cell in our body that was there seven years before.
Cells come and go. Cells arise and die. But “I” seems to persist. So am I my body? Evidently not.” ~ Anthony de Mello
