I will lay out a framework for how to get to where you can look at these ‘I’s and identify them. This skill is powerful because if you begin to do that, you must eventually ask yourself, “What is observing?”
If there's an ‘I’ that you identify, that has a specific behavior that seems foreign to the intention of your life and purpose, you have to be able to ask yourself, “What is the observed ‘I,’” and also, “What is it that observed that ‘I?’.
This exercise causes a separation of ‘the true self’ from the aggregation of the many ‘I’s. It starts as a seed, but it eventually becomes a permanent feature, where that ‘true self,’ or ‘one’s essence,’ or one’s ‘soul’ can look at the amalgamation of the various ‘I’s and begin to see them for what they are; fictitious.
