I was feeling funny, truly no hostility here, because you were snarky so it inspired it in me

Okay, I’ll take snarky. No problem. Have a lovely day Sugarcoat. 🙂

Just close your eyes, and literally think these thoughts what you say above, try to see them, really deeply look at them, but not as trying or looking just be aware of them. 

Can you really be sure that what they are? Any thoughts, including word of "any thoughts".

Good point, J
While nobody is experiencing or having a thought, the content of the thought is what carries the “I”.
Believing that this thought-content has an actual existence is the illusion.
Similarly, the illusion of a separate self arises when you take ownership of a particular experience through the thought “my” or “mine.”
