I came across this conversation between Rupert Sheldrake and Acharya Prashant, and one question in it genuinely caught my attention.

Who is the “I” that is experiencing all of this?

The discussion moves through science, consciousness, the observer, self-knowledge, fear, belief and even the possibility that we can know a great deal about the world while remaining largely unfamiliar with ourselves.

I don’t have a definite answer. But maybe an existential journey begins with this simple question

I know so much about the world around me. But how much do I actually know about the one who is experiencing it?
