>Certain phenomena may be much bigger than I am but I am the one who notices these phenomena and they only exists in as much as I am aware of them, I see them and experience them. They don’t exist in any other sense. I am always more than what I see.

>tfw the motor of the dialectic is the fact that Spirit, as seeing, is always more than what it sees precisely by its seeing it

again, no evidence of the "I" just a sequence of perceptions and their memories

no, you're assuming the "I" is reified. it isn't.

The "I" exists in how your mind apprehends reality. Your I and my I apprehend reality differently as evidenced by the fact we come to different conclusions. We're all using diverse iterations of processors that we call "I".

it’s so interesting how westerners and eastern mystics all came to the same philosophical conclusions and how they expressed these so called truths through the filtration systems of their respective cultures

the "I" is processual and not a substance

>>11591190
yup. the original quote is from a hungarian traditionalist who wasn't even thinking about Hegel, but he ends up perfectly summing up his thought (and Sartre's "existence precedes essence", among others)
