That solves that. Everything I think is what you think.

I am everything which normally is considered to be 'not me'.

Hey :)

Please don't take any offense in this, but I think you'd be better suited doing a practice. 

Contemplation is nice, but without practice you're just running in circles. 

Seriously ?, sitting down for 20 minutes focusing on the body sensations is 1000× better than trying to come to a conclusion with your investigation.

See if you prefer: You don't exist. Only I exist.

True no matter which mouth it comes out of. The true name of all of us is "I" or "me". That is the real and only name we have.

Whenever the word "you" is uttered, it's something as imaginary as a thought or tree or table.

that you made.

More precisely you are wherever your body is. Currently you are probably sitting on a chair looking at the computer seeing the thought you made.

That's another thought.

Am I a thought? Are you a thought?

Without pointing to another thought, how do you know that?

Thoughts are brought into existence. This thought did not exist until it was created. Unless there is a separate creator then I must be the one responsible for it's existence.

"I" is a thought. It arises and falls. What doesn't arise or fall?
