What is it that simply sees, hears, senses, and cognizes? Unmediated awareness suggests two distinct systems interacting with and processing sensory information. One foundational the other an artifact or perhaps an unruly out of control function. ???

What if the question "what," itself, missed the point entirely?

Certainly it could have been asked as "Who" it was hoped to depersonalize the question reducing it to a question of mechnics. Way too many "I selfs" in the way as it is. Facing ones own lack of authenticity is a difficult pill.

Dogen in his works point very directly at the transitory nature of an I "I generation and extinction" in my experience accurately portrays the nature of our eberyday lived experience.

Perhaps those momentary "I"-s are like a mirage. Their arising and ceasing are deceptive, as there's nothing solid there in actuality. For convenience sake, one can acknowledge their appearance, but see through them and not mis-take them as any-thing substantial.
