Like the famous and allegorical thought experiment, I am only because I am self aware.
If I was exactly like I am right now, with all my sesnes of touch, smell, sight, taste, hearing, imagination, but then if suddenly lose all of the perception from these faculties.
I would be plunged first into an unknown. I would not be perturbed or panic since I would lack imagination of worrisome events and possibilities. I would have absolutely no way to identify myself at this time. I would also be unable to clearly recollect my old identity because imagination would be needed to put together a sense of the old identity.
I would no longer be aware of my existence in the same way that I am now. I have a sense of the world built exclusively relative to my perceptions alone. I would be breathing, but would not feel inhaling or exhaling or hear my breath. I would not feel the weight and stresses of my body parts. I would not feel weary. I would not find myself alone, or in a crowd, indoors or outside, little or tall, skinny or fashionable. I would not be younger, or older. I would not be male or female, except cognitively. I would no longer find myself as part of creed, organisation, institution, race, or community of any sort. There would be no world, no sun and moon, no universe, except cognitively.
Where I am, why I am, how I am, when I am would no longer be relevant. What am I, I would still know what I am…
