I am everywhere and everyone. But I have a physical identity which seems bound by my body and governed by me and my mind.
Let's get into details:
We see 3 things here - Body, Mind and I
1. Body - Entirely an accumulation of this planet's matter. But there's a catch. The accumulation itself is not static. Body keeps shedding old parts (Dead cells) and regaining new ones (New cells created with help of food). The raw material for everything in my body is the food I took and air that I have breathed. Essentially, my body is the part of this planet and the apparent separateness from the planet is very naive if we look at the constant renewal of the body. So Can I say, the planet is my body ?? Or your body is my body ??
2. Mind - Again, this is a part of the so called body(which I still doubt about in Point 1.). But we are talking about the illusion of thoughts, emotions and will here. Yes, illusion, because all these 3 things depends on so many external factors - Thoughts are manipulated by media and my surroundings, emotions are swinging and dancing on the beats of thoughts, experiences, chemicals in brain. And will, which is the byproduct of the earlier two only. Essentially, mind is an accumulation too. All data fed in it is external. All patterns formed in it are in inference of the external data. So, Is my mind there for real and how can I say that it is my own mind when it is an accumulation of external material ??
3. I - I can't explain who am I or what I "think" about I as thinking is a part of the mind which as expressed in Point 2 is uncertain to be mine. "I" can only be felt and if we keep the body and mind aside, your I and my I are exactly the same. Are we the same ? Then you already know me :)
Concluding, we all are same and we all are one.
I = We
We = Everyone and everywhere
Since A=B, B=C infers A=C
Therefore I am everywhere and everyone.
