Heyy!
Rene Descartes once said the famous phrase "I think, therefor I am".
But in a way it is the other way around: I Am, therefor I think.

First off, such an insightful idea you have there! I think that it, indeed, can be said from both angles. The first one is like “thoughts creating reality,” where our inner Being dominates the physical domain. But, it is because I AM, because I am the Being and because I, like the moderator that you mentioned, have the ability to control the ego mind. Therefore, we shouldn’t overreact to our thoughts!

The body/mind is like a computer/operating system combo. Completely useless without the operator ( Being or True Self ). A computer/OS ( Body/mind ) doesn't do anything by itself. Even tho the operator isn't a part of it, they need each other to get results. The Self feeds mind with orders, mind executes them. The place where they meet could be the computerscreen/keyboard-mouse in my analogy. The interface so to speak.

Great analogy! It really cleared up some of some of these complex concepts! The mind, body and Being does work together! They co-exist and one will never be able to get rid of the others. It all depends on how we control them and balance out the “power” of each.
I suddenly thought of a question that I’ve wanted to ask for a long time! Sometimes we find ourselves daydreaming or just “blanking out” all of a sudden. it feels like you have shifted between two worlds. It is that sudden “click” that awakes you and destroys all those sweet thoughts. What is happening to the mind and the Being in such intervals? Is the ego mind releasing itself, or is it simply a transcending of boundaries?
