There is a lot of fake spirituality wherein a supposedly enlightened person, recognizing they do not exist, stops using the word 'I' and substitutes phrases like: 'this person', 'this body/mind mechanism', or 'we', or a referral to themselves as Zero, or in the third person, such as 'Charlie'.

I have no idea why they do this. Though one sees I and the world as illusory, non-existent, who is this person announcing his/her nothingness to? That is, why announce non-existence to a non-existent audience? There is a posture of teaching, of another to which you are teaching by eliminating self-referral. But this is a game. In "real life," that is, the dream we appear to live everyday, this kind of pretense only creates confusion.

Robert referred to himself in private as I, as did Ramana and Nisargadatta.

Therefore, I live in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, a few miles from where Robert lived for many years. If you want to chat, email me, Skype with me or ask a question.
