you dont know because its only a thought, not real. Look at that bit. Really look and focus on that bit, there is nothing real in it.
Like the thought of the spaghetti monster, the thought is there, but nothing else, nothing real there, no spaghetti monster, look at that.

Just because i dont know where the I is in my brain doesn't mean its not in there. And just because i dont know doesn't mean someday humans wont find out where and how the I comes about. Its just a guess but i think someday we will know how the brain developed and manifests the I that separates us form the other.
Check this out if you want to see the direction scientists are going, they are actually on our side.

I guess i could take small chunks of my brain out until the I disappears... But im not that dedicated to proving the I. Plus if i did get there im not sure id even know.
Theres nothing to prove, just look for it, its a feeling yea? Whereas that feeling? Look at that. Seriously, tell me where that feeling is.

Can you confirm thoughts exist with a physical example of a thought? If not does that mean thoughts are not real and the bolded is wrong.
A thought exists, but its content is not real. Supermans character exists, but Superman is not real. The thought of that pink elephant exists, but the pink elephant is not real.

Just because something is non physical doesn't mean its not real. The smelling of something good cooking on the grill is real to me even though i cant point to the smell in my mind and hold it up for you to examine.
A smell can 100% scientifically confirmed, the self cannot. Its not there, its based on nothing, just a need for humans to justify stuff they cant answer. Like "Who am I?"

Someone with amnesia can have memory. They can speak, walk, and do a lot of things that are reliant on memory.
To be frank, i know nothing about amnesia, maybe they are liberated, I dunno.

You did it again. I did not find so i must not mean it. I must not really be trying. I must not have an opened heart.....
Stop the sarcasm seriously, You did not find the self, because it is not there.

I dont think its possible to have an actual truth and pure clarity in every situation. There are to many unknowns.
True, but it helps.

You got to stop that. I never said my ego is a lie. I think its real.
Whats real about it? The only reason I said lie is because I read it from an older post of yours.

As for why its helpful. I like ego because i think it gives me conciseness and it helps me differentiate between myself and the other mater in the universe.
Intelligence and awareness does this, not self, no you.
