"I", in the here and now, am the product of a lifetime's experience or don't my experiences count?
Whether I will be here when my humanity ceases to exist is anyone's guess.  |
the ego is the validation tool - the point of awareness/experience. I think what you are talking about is the identity that ego builds for itself, it is the illusion of separation, the illusion of a personality, a past, a history - a future, it is all coiled around that observation point. Ego believes that is what it is - that coil of experiences, but it isn't. It is in fact all those things we/ego believe we are which creates the program of reality we perceive.
