if I am not the things that happened to me,
and the things I did were things I did, they are not me,
and the things I say are not me, they are manifestations of my thoughts or feelings,
and I can't control what thoughts or feelings I have - they just happen (and indeed I should not try to control them, but let them be, and sit with them and let them pass),

Where am I?
what would be "me" ? Where am I?

[PleaseHelp]

I have no answers. But very good questions. I wonder about the same things.

However, aren't our thoughts and feelings part of us. Therefore they would be a bit of us and what make us us. I don't know. Just some thoughts to ponder.

Keep working and you will find out.

Reverse the order and I think you might find that the things you do are you choosing how to respond (manifest) to your thoughts and feelings. One does not just sit with them and let them pass; one can pick and choose among them (and only You can do that because only You are having those thoughts and feelings) and decide how to respond to them. No you cannot "control" what they are but you can control how to respond. You get to choose, based on what you like/don't like, want to do/don't want to do, etc. and there has to be a chooser in there, a liker and wanter in order for anything to manifest/be responded to. You are the responder, the expert on all things SAWE!
