Just as the physical I
“Just as the physical ‘I’ registers images and objects like a camera, the mind is the ‘I’ of the self, which perpetuates the illusion of a unique, separate personal identity that becomes hypothecated to be the originator of thought, intention, desire, and so on. With relinquishment of this narcissistic illusion, it becomes apparent that all aspects of supposedly personal life are actually occurrences that are autonomous and spontaneous.” – David Hawkins
