16. That is exactly the true conclusion reached by the vedic researcher

Commentary to all, not a negation of Act_of_Reparation. I know I need repair.

Everything in the manifest world of here and now, all that has form and name (labels, explanations) can be reduced to shit, nonsense, component parts, illusion, delusion, or other confusion, except the innate, self-evident, a priori knowledge of self. One does not need a proof to know "I am".
Is there an argument that can convince one that one is not?

However, one needs a guide to grok the understanding that all that can be objectified (objects of the senses) is not other than shit, This is because we in the human condition are quite attached to our shit, even the lofty feces of philosophy.
We identify with our shit and come to think we are nothing other than that shit.
The sages say ignore the shit and seek the sentience.

For today's homework write a paragraph explaining the nature of your own self (as you know yourself to be).
Explain the witness, not the witnessed. Explain the constant, not the variable.
In every cognition we see the changing and variable, but also the constant witness of the changes.
Explain the consciousness of you, that has been constant through all your memories and you know was there even when now no memories exist.
