This brings up some fascinating questions? Am I the same all
the time? Don't I change with new experiences?
Also where am I ? Am I in my body, or even outside my body?
Am I somewhere in my body, or all over my body? Do I grow in
size when the body grows?

How do I know that I am the same? It is really difficult
to claim that, since I don't know myself.

of psycho-somatic aspects of myself?
