The “me” is not merely the illusion of being a separate self. It includes the entire world that appears in relation to that self—the sense of distance, meaning, importance, and experience. The “me” and its world arise together as one seamless illusion. What may appear to be an external reality is inseparable from the illusion that there is someone to experience it. Everything within that world is connected to personal fulfillment and survival. When the illusion of “me” and “my world” disappears, this empty appearance is all that remains—with no one to inhabit it.
