"I" versus "me"

I've been feeling things sinking down lately. I mean by that that I seem to be seeing from a deeper level, not from the mind.

One way this has manifest is in my response to something I wrote maybe a year ago and came across last night. I can't find it in my computer, so I'll just summarize:

The objective self and the subjective self are two different things. I've often noticed that, for me, the resonance with the universal is in the "me," i.e., the table is "me"; you are "me," etc. But when I say "I," I don't feel this resonance even though in Hindu thought, the "I" is what is talked about as the universal one.

I've pondered this off and on. I don't know if those in cultures where there is no difference in the word for the objective and subjective self, such as Japanese, there is any difference in experiencing the limitless and the limited self or not.

In any case, being reminded of this difference, which I keep knowing and forgetting, brought a clarity to my sometimes muddled thoughts. Moving into that timeless, empty dimension, there is a true self that knows no boundaries and is made of love. The limited self, at least after awakening, can sink into that limitless dimension, too, where it disappears into the universal, but then it reemerges and often forgets what it has learned, at least in my experience.
