I'm trying to decide how to answer and not do so in a way that satisfies my own humor or wit or sensibilities, but rather to answer in a way that will be useful for you. I don't know you though so I can't answer in any useful way until I know you a little bit better.

Do you meditate? If I link the text of a Zen koan will you find that helpful or irritating?

so it vanishes swiftly when examined in a flash, and it vanishes slowly when examined over time. it's hardly a thing at all. it's the thing that say's "me I'm here" but doesn't even know who's saying it.
