On Being the Being: An analysis on the establishment of Being and the non-existent self

Dr David Sutherland (University of California, San Diego)

Why do we exist, what are we and why does it matter? As creatures of logic and reason it seems unreasonable to say that every thought, desire and event in the entire universe has a direct association with the individual. The reason this seems unfathomable is that we are attempting to understand this from an external or ego centered perspective. If we take a brief look at what is happening inside our own physical bodies, we see millions of chemical activities occurring simultaneously and effortlessly. Within our nervous system, neurons are receiving and relaying thousands of electrical signals to control and coordinate all essential functions of your body. Even if we do not take into account the work of the digestive system, the musculoskeletal system, the respiratory system and other networked systems, it is a wonder in and of itself that you are alive and reading these words. This physical manifestation called you, whether fathomable in its entirety or not is who you are! A negative reaction to the statement that you have created everything in your world; body, mind, personality, dreams and shortcomings exemplifies the fact that you see your conscious mind as a sole power broker. Ironically, whether you believe you have self-created this individual called you or not, you would be right in both cases. You the conscious thinker or ego has not, but the larger ‘you’ the intuitive mind within has.
