When using a screw driver on a rounded screw we may find tt we concentrate a lot on t pressure we apply 2 t screw head, feeling t blade of t driver within t screw slot as though it was part of our hand. Our mind becomes situated at t tip of t screwdriver. This is extension; t ability of t mind t travel outside t body. Like t Chilean miners, their minds could travel back 2 their families n lives, this is why they felt trapped. Likewise advertising takes our mind 2 places we have not been n we then wish 2 buy. Material desire always lags behind t mind: we always feel trapped, tt is desire. Freedom is accepting tt t mind is away from t body, this way we don't fear t demise of t body in death. So extension is also t essence of self: only by going out side can we come home! Thus self reference implies tt t referer has been outside of t self n so only refers 2 t inside which means tt self is only a part of t referer=SRH!

Expanding on that idea take the sentence:
"I have four words"
It is slightly old English but still acceptable to say when asked whether we have done something that we haven't "Not I". For example, "Have you pinched a slice of cake?", replying "Not I".
The idea of negating the subject I don't think I've looked at properly. A sentence is usually the subject and predicate. "The cow is in the field" rewritten in predicate logic:
(Ex) (x is a cow and x is in the field)
Now we can write:
(¬Ex) (x is a cow and x is in the field)
There is no thing such that it is a cow and it is in the field; which is a long way of saying "there are no cows in the field". Interesting that we automatically switch to the plural when we negate the subject alluding already to what I am going to say.
More simply but ungramatically (makes me wonder about those words that have the quality they talk about -autological ***). So we can meaningfully say (although it is not accepted English)
"Not Cow is in the field."
If we accept that then we can say
"Not I have four words"
Does this mean "some other sentnece" or I don't have. If it means some other sentence then it poist outside.... that means all sentences that have not cabn point outside QED
A search for happiness in poverty. Happiness with personal loss, and a challenge to the wisdom of economic growth and environmental exploitation.
