P2: We can't imagine all of these forms
P3: Our senses perceive the ball of wax and the melted pool of wax as different objects
P4: Our minds know that the forms are the same

- We must separate our substance (physical form) from identity 
- If your consciousness were to move into another body, it would still be you

No one characteristic makes the self, we are a bundle of experiences and properties, and there is no personal identity without perception.

P 2 – In general it will follow from any state of thinking (e.g. imagining, sensing, feeling, etc.) that I exist. While I can be deceived about the objective content of any thought, I cannot be deceived about the fact that I exist and that I seem to perceive objects with certain characteristics.

 C=I can only be certain of the existence of myself insofar as I am thinking, I have knowledge of my existence as a thinking thing.
