Employing the pronoun ‘I’. One thinks of oneself as a kind of ghostly container, with thoughts and feelings floating about inside, into which pours an incessant stream of feelings and sensations.
Many argue as a result, the only thing that can be a subject or a mind is something with no identity over time: a momentary coming together of sensations and images.
Similarly, what I mean by the term ‘I’ is just the indeterminate bundle of mental objects which connect up either directly or indirectly with a given present sensation or feeling nominated as ‘mine’
