I'm entangled in the conjunction of at least three computers
It's some sort of sentient lightning I guess

Some things are beyond words - things we know purely by intuition - and that's okay.

Non-dualism gives the answer to those questions. You could say "only the Absolute exists", but even that can imply duality.

Non-dualism could never be the answer because it is always purely defined negatively.

"who
am I?" not in the sense of "who am I" but "who is this 'I' " that
can say "who"? What is the "I," and what becomes of responsibility once the identity of the "I" trembles in secret?

Sorry hylics this is an enlightened nonduality board
"This self was indeed Brahman in the beginning. It knew itself only as "I am Brahman." Therefore it became all. And whoever among the gods had this enlightenment, also became That Brahman. It is the same with the seers (rishis), the same with men. The seer Vamadeva, having realized this self as That, came to know: "I was Manu and the sun." And to this day, whoever in a like manner knows the self as "I am Brahman," becomes all this universe. Even the gods cannot prevent his becoming this, for he has become their Self. Now, if a man worships another deity, thinking: "He is one and I am another," he does not know. He is like an animal to the gods. As many animals serve a man, so does each man serve the gods. Even if one animal is taken away, it causes anguish to the owner; how much more so when many are taken away! Therefore it is not pleasing to the gods that men should know this."- Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10.

In the beginning was the word; grammar's deep, yo. The last question can be answered: first singular personal pronoun, subjective or 'nominative' case, English; a kind of variable x in which one's name is plugged.
