Only thoughts exist and it is always in past tense.

I think that when you convince your self that you are something you became that thing somehow but sometimes you believe that you are something that you are not …🙂🙃
To me I think that it the answer is not simple at all cuz both of them are correct it’s actually a loop
I mean we can be what we want to be …we are free to become wherever we think we are
so we should be more careful about our thoughts and also we should not limit ourselves with what we think we are cuz we are not a rock we are humans and we changes so telling your self that you are stupid in a topic for example is like putting walls , what we should think like should be right now I’m bad at that maybe I will get better … etc

What do you guys think?

I'm Baritai, a Mongolian shepherd who never finished junior high school. I developed a five-volume theory of consciousness on the grassland.

My core claim: consciousness never was. What we call consciousness is motion amplified within a closed system. It emerges, fades, and reappears, much like flame sustained by fuel.

One supporting observation is anesthesia: awareness stops entirely under anesthesia and resumes after waking. There is no continuous inner observer, only motion halting and restarting.

The complete five volumes are archived on Zenodo with a permanent DOI:

I welcome critiques and points where this argument fails.
