The form is not the problem, But the meaning put onto it. The world is not the problem, But what is interpreted onto it. The “I” is not the problem, But what is believed onto it.

The words used need not matter.

“I am” is what creates reality or the so-called experience of “I am”. Without “I am”, there is no “I” hence no one there.
