I figured 'I' is a good way to refer to oneself. It seems obvious, and nothing is more obvious, that I exist. I can't define what that is exactly, but this presence of awareness is something we all have in common, and I claim that 'I' pertains to that, fundamentally. In this sense, when any of us say 'I', we refer to the same thing.
This is obvious yes, but the 'I' is an artificially created 'I' born of mind/consciousness, (the conception) aka to become aware/ known ...via the mind construction of language ..the 'I' is used as a pointer, pointing back to it's real self which is the dreamer or no-thing aka awareness within which everything aka no thing...is arising, so it seems, apparently. But since the mind can't do anything with the no thing it is, it artificially creates things.....I've already explained this many times before.
THOUGHT / language arises within this dynamic of becoming aware/ or knowing something.. what ''thought'' does is it artificially separates the whole of being into a knower and the known...but here, only the known 'I' is known (aka the concept)... not the knower of the known 'I' ...(non-conceptual)
Although it appears there are separate 'I's ....these refer to as like being dream characters ...they have no existence apart from the unknown dreamer of everything.
This is infinity now, expressing itself. This is everything all at once, no division, no boundary, no edge... If there's just everything then it doesn't belong to any thing, there's no thing that has started independently, nor is there any thing that can end... no thing has ever had a beginning nor will any thing end... there's just everything always aka infinity...aka no thing....aka ONENESS
Within the concept of ''human'' ....There is no human doer, there is only human being.
The dream character cannot know the dreamer dreaming the character . The character is only known as consciousness, as in become conscious of itself, but it's only conscious of itself as a fictional dream character, IT'S NOT REAL.
No thing is real.
That's all I'm trying to point out.
Throng, are you into Self inquiry aka Non-duality?
