In the normal sense, we would answer by stating our identity (name, gender, race, nationality, etc.), our relationship with so and so (we work/volunteer for this or that company, we study here, etc.), our background (family, tribe, education, travel experience, etc.), etc.

In the absence of all these concepts, which exist only in the physical dimension, how do you answer the question: Who are you?

We are also happy, sad, angry, hurt, vindictive, jealous, kind, frustrated, delighted, annoyed, joyful, furious, calm, lonely, curious, hopeful, hopeless, helpful, selfish, generous etc. We are all these things, so who you are is 'who you are being in the present moment'.

ENERGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am the internal observer to my external experiences.

I am that, which often feels trapped within a claustrophobic shell of physical sensations that blind me to the absolute truth which I can feel just outside of my perceptions, but just not grasp as I fumble around in the dark, blindly trying to put the pieces together

I am part of Conscious Awareness experiencing itself...that is All.

A realization from 20 years ago that came in a moment of satori....

Realizing my soul essence within that....now that is a different matter altogether..

........finding the way to Be-ing...and then just to practise being. That is the goal of I Am.

*Not sure if it answers your question-but it answers it for me

There is no 'you'.

Also-The Who have been asking this question for many years...

Thanks for letting me experience this question from many different perspectives. It is always interesting to see the innumerable ways to experience life.

Most of us think about our identity when we think of this question. I think the easiest way for me to answer this question is to let go of my ego/identity, and to consider myself as a piece of All That Is.

There is more to Self than what been discussed here so far. Much more to be discovered in us.

You mean there is more to All That Is?
