Let's make some simple observations.

1) There is a space of consciousness within which experiences manifest. There are familiar colors, forms, sounds, objects and entities that frequently manifest in conscious awareness.

2) There is a coexclusive relationship between the forms that one can observe directly through conscious processes, forms, and the structures that one may access through unconscious processes, concepts.

3) There is a coexclusive relationship between nonbehavioural entities such as rocks, water, tools etc. and behavioural entities such as animals and humans.

4) There is a coexclusive relationship between living behavioural entities and nonbehavioural entities who were once alive.

5) There is a distinct relationship between the continuous conscious experience and this particular body from which it arises as opposed to any other human bodies. This body is the center of this particular conscious awareness.

6) Other human bodies behave relatively similar to the behavior of this body, so it may be informative to assume that there are other manifestations of consciousness associated with the other bodies.

7) "I" identify myself as that which is aware of conscious form and manifests action into the space in which this body may interact with other conscious entities distinct from this particular consciousness.

This identification holds true for any individual towards themselves, although in the context of communication, I am "I" and you are "you," but according to you, I am "you" and you are "I."

This is simply a necessary feature of utilizing self identification within the context of community.
