Self and the feeling of being inner self or “I” arises due to your association and identification with the known and unknown. Self is neither eternal nor independent of its constituent cause and conditions in any way.
The Self arise due to self-conception or self-ideation through your identification or association with self-delineating labels based on artificial ideas like name, age, gender, class, caste, nationality, religion, beliefs, eternal self, good, bad etc., thus affecting your natural processes of life, making you rigid, insecure and conflicting with your ecosystem.
Due to identification with the artificially defined ideas, you become pawn in the hands of authorities playing game of us-versus-them identity politics to keep their flocks together for exploitation.
Due to feeling of being inner-self or “I”, the quality of your life experience diminishes and you are not able to explore your full potential to live life. Just like painful knee or upset stomach makes you conscious of it, so also, self-consciousness is symptom of some disorder in your constitution.
Self-delineation and self-conception due to your association with known and unknown giving rise to the Self and feeling of being inner self or “I” is self-ignorance.
