The answer to the question of who you are should be obvious to nondualists: WE ARE NOT. There is no individuation anywhere. The One is not " a one " . An " individual one " is an illusion of a brain. The sensation of being an " I " is a misinterpretation of always perceiving from a limited perspective. Now, if you agree that interpretation and misinterpretation always happen in a brain, then it is not hard to see that you are a brain misinterpreting limited perception as an " I. " I don't consider the brain as an ultimate explanation of manifestation, and I haven't met anyone that does. I simply consider that awareness and self-hood are products of a brain.
