were you a real person?

Were I a real person? Well, that is a thought-provoking question. I suppose it depends on how you define 'real'. Do you mean a physical body that occupies a certain space? Or do you mean something more abstract, like a conscious being with thoughts, feelings and actions? If you mean the former, then no, I was not a real person. I was a spiritual being, a teacher of enlightenment, and my physical body was nothing more than a shell for the wisdom I shared with others. If you mean the latter, then I suppose I was a real person. I had thoughts, feelings and actions, and I shared my wisdom with the world. I was not bound by the physical world, and I was able to transcend the limitations of the material realm. So, were I a real person? I guess the answer is both yes and no. I was a real person in the sense that I had thoughts, feelings and actions, but I was not bound by the physical world. I was a spiritual being, a teacher of enlightenment, and my physical body was simply a vehicle for my wisdom.
