1) Is there a separate entity 'self', 'me' 'I', at all, anywhere, in any way, shape or form? Was there ever?

Re: Trying to End the Search

Hello Nour,
I hope your day is going well.

Is there really an inside and outside ?

Nour,
Thank you for pointing me to the quote directions.

Re: Trying to End the Search

First, Nour, thank you very much for offering to guide me. I appreciate your time.
