What belief? The belief that you are an I and a self? Sorry, but I would say that you do have those beliefs. For as long as you are functioning like a regular human, then on some level you believe that you exist, therefore you see who you are as an I and a self.
Do you ever talk of accepting
yourself, or loving
yourself, or forgiving
yourself? Do you ever use the word '
yourself' in conversation? Have you ever said that you like or dislike
yourself or that you are happy or unhappy with
yourself? Do you ever think about
yourself?
These are just a few examples of hundreds in which we talk about an I and a self that we 'have'.
