I felt compelled to write about the experiences of Alan, David and Jamie because they address one of the basic questions, namely is there such a thing as an "I"? Some synonyms for the "I" are the self, the ego, the private domain of experience, the thinker, the experiencer, and the subject. Both the Eastern mystics and some eminent Western philosophers believe that the "I" is nothing but an illusion. There is even some brain research that supports the notion that the feeling of having an "I" can be lost. I don't have any firm opinion on enlightenment, except that I lack the motivation to pursue it.
