i think therefore i am, right?...

so, if i cease to think, does that mean that i am no more?

this leads me to a new question. If i think and am and then cease to think and am not, does that mean i can not be again because i can not think, bececause i am not or is there a way for me to be again?

in that case to be i must always think. what then does it mean when one is asked "what are you thinking" and they respond "nothing". does that mean they are not?

are they then a figment of your imagination which would mean i am indeed thinking and so therefore i am? hmmm.

how do i know what is real?

it is true one could be part of my thinking and i could ask one "do you think" and they could respond "yes". how am i to know they really do think? if they do then yes one is, but what if i thought one said yes, but indeed it was just my thought. then they really don't think, therefore are not.

does thas mean i am becuase i am the only one who thinks or do i think because someone else thought that i think which then made me be?!

now, if someone thought that i think and i was, does that mean when they first thought me and didn't think that i thougth that i was not or was my not being because i ceased to think on my own?

then in all these cases the rule for thinking and being or thinking and not being be that while one thinks and is one must think that another thinks and there for is. one must tell the other to think that one thinks so when one ceases to think one will be again because another was thinking that one thought or one never ceases to think because another is always thinking that one is. whew!

the only true was for one to know that another is thinking and is, is if one is to think that another is thinking so that another can be.

now, how will we know which people are thinking from the ones who are not thinking and are not?
