“I” Is The Thing-ness Of Existence: How The Self Perceives Reality As Concepts (http://www.theemotionmachine.com/i-is-the-thing-ness-of-existence)

What is the concept "I" and what role does it play in the creation of our reality?

Is it just me or does it really look like more and more people are starting to see
what they really are not these days ? :D.
The "self" is the observer which notices the body creates a red flush and tingly feeling when feeling ashamed.
The "I" is your ego which tells you to cover up that massive coffee stain on a white carpet before someone sees it.
How the "self" creates reality without the "I" secretly wanting it is still an enigma to me and the fun part of learning on this planet :D.
I think it has something to do with the great ponderings like "You only percieve reality because you accepted the view of it as others have taught you" and
"If you ignore all your senses and are not able to percieve anything , how can you be sure it still excists"

always fascinating stuff to think about :)

:) I am kind that way that I am aware of every bodymove. It's so miraculous. Everyone has the same kind of thing going on when looking in the mirror considering the person in front as "you"? Really weird. Long ago it was. Now I know it's good this way and I am not crazy or schizo :D
