I, Me, Myself ??

[JohnDoe]

With reference to your YouTube video: 

"Spiritual Enlightenment - The Most SHOCKING Truth You'll Ever Hear"

code: Bsyplaii9p4

 

If I roughly summarize the message in it (as how I understood): 

"there is no such thing as 'I' in reality – it’s an illusion"

 

I have a question about this but let me give a small background (about me, not that it really matter, anyway):

You see, I came across with that same! message ~11 years ago (from a different source).

It was truly an awakening!

With that, a whole new journey has started.

 

My problem/question:

Unfortunately, for quite some time, that journey got stuck at certain point.

See, we understand that: I, me, myself is the product of what one establish from its birth to present.

Every memory, emotion, feeling, experience, sensation and etc; one underwent, since birth; defined that notion (to a level that: I, me, myself outgrew from just a notion to an existence of an imaginary entity)

 

See it’s all fine – because we have our new-found truth – or is it?

 

[I’m going to take the example in the video here]

With the new-found truth, one comes to the realization:

“it’s not an entity (me) that’s seeing the hand”

And then by, realize ‘I’ (who used to saw the hand earlier) is a mere illusion.

 

Now, WHO? came to this realization

Answer: is “me” – isn’t it not?

(Because if one picks his brain, for the memory that arrived at this realization;

that memory does exist – isn’t it not?)

 

There by the new “realization” (in this case the memory of arriving at that conclusion) - establish (and further sustains) the notion of I, me, myself again. And in my opinion: to make things even more worst this time, the notion of I, me, myself and the very illusion of existence - became more sophisticated - then by making it established - even stronger than ever before – don’t you think?       

 

Please help me to figure this out.

@JohnDoe Imagine a million ants just carrying on, doing ant stuff, and there is a colorless cloud encompassing all of them. Each ant thinks it’s an ant because it can’t perceive the cloud. In actuality, the cloud is real, and it’s imagining all the ants. The cloud just has a kick ass imagination. Like, top notch.    It imagines ants which imagine ant stuff, like clouds.
