I am...
As I can't be what I perceive, I am not this body-mind or any thing that I am conscious of.
As there must be something unchanging to register discontinuity, I am not this body-mind, which is neither continuous nor permanent.
As the person is a changing stream of mental objects that I as the subject take to be my body-mind, I cannot be a person. I am, but I can't be this or that.
As it is my presence, which is always here and now, that gives the quality of actual to any event, I must be beyond time and space. I was never born, nor will ever die.
