0:00 If I would ask you the question, who are you? What would you say? Some people may say, I am Michael Davies. They would say their first and last name. Is that who you are? Can you be the sounds that come out of your mouth, which you apply meaning to? Obviously not, because to be something, it has to exist. That's what to be means. It has to be real. You have to be able to sense it with any of your senses, but you cannot sense a person, a name. You can only act as if you are a person. You can play this role your whole life, but you will never actually be a person because it's impossible. That's why you will introduce yourself as your first and last name, but it will always be a belief in your head.

0:58 Somebody else may say, I am a Christian, and that's because they have these beliefs and values. Other people also have them. They go to a building Sundays, and then they share their beliefs with each other. They may wear a cross, they may have a cross at their home, They may dress well Sundays for the occasion, but do their beliefs actually make them into a Christian? Can your clothes make you into who you are? No, you can only play the role. If that's how life would work, then I could simply believe that I am an elephant. No matter what I do, I will never be an elephant the same way you will never be your name, a person, a Christian.

1:53 Somebody else may say, I am a lawyer, and that's because I put on a suit, I study this topic, and then I go to a courthouse and meet up with other people. And in the court, I will argue with these other people who have the same beliefs. This man did not break the law. No, no, no. He did break the law. What law? Where is the law? Law, where are you? Can you see it, smell it, touch it? No, the law doesn't exist. It's in their heads. And then you have a judge who will say, I came to a verdict. He did not break the law. Again, where is the law exactly? No, but it's just people who meet up in this building. They go to this room and then they play games with each other, arguing about something that doesn't even exist. Just a theater, nothing else.

2:52 Can you be a judge, a lawyer, can you be your job title? No, you can only play the role because it doesn't exist. How can you be that?

3:04 I could go on and on. Clearly humans are very lost today. A husband will believe that he's a husband, a wife will believe that she's a wife. marriage doesn't exist you can only play the roles of a husband and a wife but you will never be that people need these beliefs ideas values morals to keep this illusion alive otherwise it all breaks apart and that's why of course the question arises who are we really and who we are are
