In essence, i am that consciousness only. That consciousness is common to all of us. After all, why do we say we are different? Clearly, we are different because bodies are different. Minds are different. What you know, i do not know. What i have experienced, you may not have experienced. Your memories are not shared by your neighbour. So minds are different. Bodies are different, but consciousness is not different. If you differentiate consciousness from mind and body, then you will suddenly see there is no differentiating factor left in consciousness to distinguish your consciousness from his or her consciousness. His or her depends on body thoughts make the difference between one mind and the other.
