There is no "I" in "You"

[Little Rik]

Can anyone answer why you're you.....and not me?

By what method of determination do I experience existence separate from your experience; more to the point, what determined both our particular experiences and could one have been shunt in place of another (by what alternate means could I have experienced existence through your perspective or vice versa)?

Why here, why now...why not exist a thousand years from now or a thousand years past?

Can this ever be coherently approached or determined materialistically/scientifically? Or, is metaphysics a fundamental necessity?

Quip.  

Yoga answer these questions very very easily.  

The moon is one but if you see the moon reflected on a lake you may and will see a myriad of moons
according to the position in which you are.
Every different positions around the lake offer the vision of the moon so we may have millions of moon but as we know the moon is only one.
Similarly there are a myriads of lives in the universe but the one who produce a reflection on this universe is only one and that is .......guess who?
I am NOT saying who he-she is because people here would ask me for evidence.
Capisci?
