Why am I me?

[Someone here]

Oh boy that's one of the worst questions ? 

Why I am me and not you... Why am I experiencing life through this particular human body? Why am I not Leo or Donald trump or that dog or this cat? 

You probably gonna say 'but you are these people simultaneously'.. But I'm only experiencing one point of view at  a time.... Which is this human being. 

Is there any possible explanation?

No. But people in this thread will come with all kind of beliefs and fantasies.

Yes, drop your assumptions about who you are.

Exactly  

The point of fantasy is to enjoy it. How? See it for what it is.

Apparently.  We are two separate human meat bags inhabiting different points in the space - time.

I am sure that right now I'm not Leo.. I don't see my head bald lol...

Because it's an interesting perspective, I guess. That's my perspective.  You is a perspective, and your perspective is actually completely fluid. You are the entirety of experience, not just a part of it.

@Someone here There is no "POV". There is no "you" looking at the world. There is no "me" looking at the world. 

We don't inhabit our bodies. You're not inside your head, although it seems to be so. That's the illusion. 

You don't exist and neither does anybody else. No amount of philosophy or theorizing will dispel this for you, you have to realize it  directly.

I think he explains somewhat in the beginning of this video, although words dont really cut the mustard.

who else could be you?

@Someone here 

It's one of the best questions you can ask. 

Use it as the basis of your practice, rather than theoretically to the forum. You are simply avoiding and procrastinating if you ask the forum. 

When you ask yourself - you are  Self Enquiring.

Ask only to yourself and ignore what others say.

Less understanding, more being.

Because everything could not be without you.

You guys are just underestimating the question.

What's the alternative then?

Why are you you in the first place? You get what I'm saying?  Why you ain't a dog or bird?

You questioning the Absolute from a relative position. Its Absolute. Its can't be otherwise. Why is this snowflake shaped with this design and not like that snowflake? its a limited mind questioning why an Infinitely Intelligent design isn't designed differently. Because it is Perfect.
