Nearly smokey ...

only that according to my model you can never be self obsessed, as to obsess about yourself you have to look from the other end of the telescope as it were, and suddenly it isn't you you are obsessing about but an alter ego.


As to your first sentence, you said:

"I see the problem here. My "I" is an illusion perceiving itself as an illusion ... etc ..."

If you look objectively at that sentence, your "I" was doing nothing of the sort.

Your "I" was busy seeing what the problem was here.

The only illusion was .. well ... your allusion to an illusion ...

now if you'll excuse me I have to do my nails ...
