    Have you become a phenomenologist? I sometimes think I'd like to be one, but I can't pronounce it. ;)

    how can i be a phenomenologist when i is a process all the time

    this i is constantly changing

    how can i pin down i to name i is 'anything' or 'anyone'?

    i is a process, not a thing or a person

    when there is anger, anger is i
    when there is jealous, jealous is i

    when there is anything that i know, that thing that i know is i

    so
    form
    feeling
    perception
    volition
    consciousness
    or
    five aggregates are i

    if i do not know this when these things arise i become 'I', 'my', 'myself' (nicca, dukka, atta)

    can you agree to the above
    if not
    Why?

    Thanks

  • if the above post make no sense please explain

    bava netti sutta says 'everything' and 'all' are 'I' for 'puthajjana'

    and

    everyone of us must try to get 'bava netti keena'

    bava netti sutta is in khanda vagga
