I exist CMV

I don't understand how this cannot be absolutly true. 

I define "I" as awarness or being.

Please destroy my convention if you would.

Imagine a rope attached to a small car with a young child trying to pull that car.  As the child pulls, the driver slowly gives the car gas so it moves gradually in the direction the child is pulling.

If the child is unaware of the driver's actions, he may think that he is causing the car to move.  But he is not.  The car is responding to the driver, not the child.  The child is being fooled into thinking they are causing the movement.  

Your consciousness is like the child.  It does exist, in that it is a form of perception. Just like eyes pick up light and produce signals, the ego takes signals from our senses and attaches the feeling of choice.  Choice is just an illusion.  

When the driver of the car stops moving, or drives in the other direction, the lack of control by the child becomes clear.  That occurs when we do things we wish we didn't, like an alcoholic going for a drink.

TLDR, you are not in control. You simply think you are.
