Actually, this isn’t factual. The self, center, ego, I is an illusion invented by thought to perpetuate the illusion that thought is living and not just a mechanical process. And the center (with all of it’s other names) does realize things all the time. Reality, as K described it, is everything that thought is. Including illusions.
I know it’s easy to have an opinion. Everyone has opinions. But it is much more difficult to look into something, to understand and not to just go for the easy answer.
