"What I meant was that "I" is the illusion"


This is only possible if we think of "I" in the abstract.

But in so doing we cease to think about "I" and instead think about a manufactured construct.

"I" observe an abstract construct which "I" have created and which "I" observe to be an illusion.

There is always an "I" behind each observation made.

No matter how I describe or define "I", it is always "I" who is making the observation, which means that the observation is in fact wrong as it is not in fact "I" that is beig observed, but something tha "I" have created.
