The illusion of self begins with the sense of presence—the feeling of inhabiting a body, existing in time, and being located somewhere. “I am here now” becomes its fundamental claim. Yet this presence is illusory, an overlay that spawns the entire framework of reality and identity. From it arises the belief in a person, a place, and a moment. But outside the dream, no such claims hold. There is no embodied presence to mark a here from there or a now from then. There is only this empty appearance, undivided and complete, without anyone to stand within it.
