I see myself in yourself

[Strangeloop]

This is the philosophy that Leo Has talked about - "You are Me".

When a person says "I" he means Himself. But the other person who is listening might see the "I" of another person and indentify with his own sense of "I". 

Is this a healthy philosophy to identify with other humans? I think: no it's not.

To be a healthy human being we as people we need to have our own sense of I. So we could live in our bodies as humans and not some crazy people who think we are other people. Yes there are similarities between us but there are also differences. If we ignore those differences then I don't know how we can become a part of society.

What is your take on this?

"I" am at the point in my journey where "I" phase in-and-out of identification with separate self.

Counterintuitively, absolutely nothing is lost when you stop identifying with separate self.

You don't suddenly become a crazy person, nor do you become incapable of doing societal or human functions.

Be careful, this is not a mere "philosophy."

It's not a new identity to take on -

Rather, this is simply what remains in the absence of philosophic belief or thought.

Oneness cannot be dysfunctional because it is Truth.
