The illusion of a separate self happens when you identify with your experience. The process of identification involves believing that there is an “I” that experiences phenomena. For example, there is identification if you believe that when a sound arises, there is an “I” that hears the sound. In reality, through direct experience, you can see that there is just hearing of the sound. The addition of an “I” that hears the sound is merely conceptual and is unnecessary.
