I am confident I know who God is.

That is paramount to knowing ourselves, imo.

I seem to be a particular intelligent ape, existing in a particular place and going about certain behaviors.

What makes it sort of spooky at times is that I think of myself as a creature living within this body... a thing some of us call a 'mind.'

Often I feel more like this mind is the real me, rather than that this ape body is me.

We think we have a shape, that we have thoughts, that we have dreams and desires, that we have beliefs. But none of it is provable.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

I'm the culmination of my specific genetic heritage, environment, and experiences. Most of my behaviors and actions are rooted in my physiology and the biological imperatives of safety, survival, and reproduction. As a member of a somewhat dimly self-aware species, I have cultivated various aesthetic preferences which I attempt to use as evidence of my unique identity, although these aesthetic preferences are broadly shared by many others. In other words, I'm fundamentally just like everyone else.

Just like your thoughts and belief above.... So isn't that going in a circle?
Thoughts and beliefs do not have to be forever. They can either develop or even put aside once they brought us to a certain lag.
Also, I consider a separation between 'spiritual beliefs' of the supernatural kind and beliefs which can pragmatically apply to everyday life without demanding to compromise our rational mind. For example, the belief in the Loch Ness monster is different than beliefs in economic or political trends which may be subjective but also statistically probable based on assessed and accumulated knowledge.

Many things are subjective, but still very much real.

I am a lowly beast who is fortunate to be able to contemplate my place in the universe.
I'm a groundskeeper too!

Are you no longer Rage?

I am you only from a different perspective and with a different viewpoint.

BTW I plan on paraphrasing Gibran with "The white wings of death has scattered his days.." etched on the urn that will hold my ashes.

You know who I am
You've stared at the sun
I am the one who loves changing
from nothing to one

Are you no longer Rage?

I am still a roiling cauldron of rage, but I flit from one
description to another just to keep things interesting.

Oh, do I have things which make me rage today!
But I don't wanna bring them up, so today I'm a beast...a snow throwing beast.

Sitting at the Ocean’s edge
I see; a reflection of me!

A reflection; I see me!

I'm a series of reactions to everything going on around me.

 

[Sunstone]

It is a question I struggle with - How did you come to your conclusion? Have you always felt that way?

Some experiences have convinced me there is no core to my psyche, and I assume anyone's psyche, unless you consider nothingness a core. Rather the onion metaphor seems more apt. Layer upon deepening layer, until you end with nothingness. But I haven't always thought that way. I once thought there was at the very core of the psyche a subconscious something or the other.

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

No, not really.

 

[Contemplative Cat]

Well look it up on Google

Do you know who you are?

Hi Stephen

Who I am? I am Peace, don't you know me? just kidding
Well I would say I am a humble servant and creature of God who created me for a certain purpose in this life. I am a passenger and guest on this earth and I am here to fulfill my mission and sit for the test in order to move to the next eternal life, the hereafter.

Peace

I am some sort of a reflection in my interacting world. I am some sort of complementary in my sleeping hours and in my waking, I am anything in the tiniest of things that cant be me. Thus I wake to sleep and take my waking slow.
