If You Cannot - In The Long Run - Tell Everyone What You Have Been Doing, Your Doing Has Been Worthless.

The Self Is Not So Much Linked To Its Ancestors, It Is Not So Much The Product, And Merely The Product, Of All That, But Rather, In The Strictest Sense Of The Word, The Same Thing As All That: The Strict, Direct Continuation Of It, Just As The Self Aged Fifty Is The Continuation Of The Self Aged Forty.

Consciousness Is Never Experienced In The Plural, Only In The Singular. Not Only Has None Of Us Ever Experienced More Than One Consciousness, But There Is Also No Trace Of Circumstantial Evidence Of This Ever Happening Anywhere In The World.
