The non-existent Me

The person is a very small thing. Actually it is a composite,

it cannot be said to exist by itself. Unperceived, it is just not

there. It is but the shadow of the mind, the sum total of

memories. Pure being is reflected in the mirror of the mind, as

knowing. What is known takes the shape of a person, based on

memory and habit. It is but a shadow, or a projection of the

knower onto the screen of the mind.
