It is only through 'a body' that the 'I am' can be known to be. But who knows this?
Is it the body itself who knows it is the cause of all again births?
''born again'' can only mean to be born of a body that must FIRST have always existed eternally, or else how could any second BODY be born? Here, a body cannot be born without a body to birth it. So who, or what, birthed the FIRST body that went on to birth again and again?
See how when we try to 'know thyself', we can only arrive at a half truth?
We cannot know the absolute because all truth claims can only relate to what is absolute - rendering all 'relative truth claims' about what is always absolute ...an absurdity.
