Two KInds of Truth
Shoes are not cosmic laws/principles.
Some people confuse truth of a shoe, being a shoe, with a cosmic truths facts related to them.
This boils out to two kinds of truth;
1} absolute truths, and
2} relative truths ex the sky is blue.
It is easy to find relative truths and just state falsehoods and call them true.
It is more difficult to find, accept{ drop the ego } absolute truths for those who live in lies much of the time.
On the other hand, some who live with false lies all of them find it a breath of fresh air to discover absolute truths.
People are differrent and it is not easy, for most people, to place ego to the side and let in the truth.

I am the Self, should be the answer of every living being and that is the only subject and no object.

Reminded me of Jesus' saying: "Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11)

Twoness > Othernerss > Awareness > Self > I/Ego
Davidsun, I am not you.
I share the commonality of metaphyscial-1, ego, like you.
The I/ego comes into existence when we first learn, as a baby, that we can manipulate other animals and humans.
Animals also have a degree of self-awareness, the degree of self-wareness, understanding and comprehension of our individual ego/I-ness is a matter of degree.
There is large degree or many degrees of seperation between human ego and other animals self-awareness.
I am not any animal that is less complex than a human.
I am not algorithm however, my biological occupied space is composed of finite number of events ergo numerical considerations cannot be excluded.

Sure, we share commonality of bilateral occupied space human etc. and metaphysical-1 ego.
I'm sure others have told you that you like an older Opie from Andy Griffith show.
I am not you, I am not God/Universe. I am not an ant. I am not a rock. I am not Opie from Andy Griffith show.

I 'got' that. I am looking, when and as ' the Spirit of Life' so moves me, to (as much as possible lovingly) engage (embrace and dance?) with what 'you' are.
