I and Not I divide the world in two. They say that in order to achieve the integrity of oneself and the world, one must destroy one's Self, but then what will remain? Particle Not? And I tell you that I Am not the illusion of fear and self-denial. Everything is Me, you are everything!

I myself came up with. Until I invented myself, I wasn't even in the plans. When I invented myself, I created myself. Until I created myself, I wasn't there.

Philosophy is Me, because I love philosophy very much. It is known that a person turns into what he loves. I have read and learned a lot of philosophical works.

Man's consciousness, his Self, is something that man must invent himself, it is his meaning of life, something that will give shape to its content and determine its fate.

Having ceased to amuse oneself with illusion, a person can get rid of the mask of this illusion. The mask gave the person a form and imposed on him methods and properties of this mask. Attempt not to obey the mask caused a feeling of guilt and pain in his chest. Answer yourself – who am I... I am a mother, I am a wife, I am a citizen, I am a Christian, I am a good person, I am an honest person, I am a good daughter, I am a good granddaughter, I am a good friend. Every single one of these masks puts obligations on you that need to be followed. However, you can override the properties of the mask, more accurately defining what is also good and bad. A man must be good. When he's bad, his own Self starts to self-destruct, howling with pain and suffering.
The idea of yourself is a mask dressed on yourself. The mask that defines your meaning of life and your purpose. Man's free will is such that he can choose his own mask, answering the question "who am I?". Thus, he will determine the meaning of his life, properties and functions of his Self. Determine what is good and what is bad. A mask is a role that a person should play well. Human consciousness is his mask, his role. The role should be played well, it will give a person happiness. Poor performance causes suffering. However, a person can choose his own role and even within it to redefine its properties and characteristics. It's the main goal, so improvisation is encouraged. A game in which there is no impromptu, too ugly and generates neurosis.
Man, submitting completely to his feelings, renounces the uniqueness of the consciousness of his Self and his goals. I was his form and meaning of life, having lost all this, man turns into an animal and goes under the control of their biological programs, the same for all people.

The value of things is connected with vanity and envy. We love ourselves so much when we are envied. When we're envied, we say to ourselves, "Yeah, I'm worth something."
"I" is like a whale, under the water of illusions he, of course, comfortable, but sometimes you need to emerge into reality and breathe. If the person from the fear to escape from reality, the whale would float up violently. It's called schizophrenia and hallucinations.
In my head there are no thoughts, the endless cycle of fears, doubts and desires stopped. The soul overflows with joyful delight of ease. A huge stream of released energy rushes out of your chest and you turn into an angel without fear or doubt.

The feeling of power and power is associated with getting rid of duality. If you get rid of the I and Mine, you will become one with God, you will become God yourself.

Pride is very difficult to treat in the sense that the treatment reduces self-esteem, breaking the Ego.
