Kevin Wacknov's Insights Notes

This is my humble attempt to describe the mechanism of experiencing 'I am that.'

How "I am That" Works
situation type mental process meaning belief organization
A. (I am not that.) Reading a book (in which events refer to the characters within the story) while reading, extra effort is spent in separating your experience from the story characters' experiences the meaning of what happens is applied to the story social convention > personal exploration
B. (I am that.) Overhearing someone else's conversation (in which the messages can be interpreted to refer to me, even though the speakers don't intend this) real-time reflection and acceptance the personal nature of the meaning or instruction is surprising personal exploration > social convention
