The idea 'I am the Self' can be even more suffering

Now we cannot know it as a concept there is just a cell. It has useless as any other concept. I say often that if we have the notion I am a person and then we pick up the notion I am the cell. Both are just as painful. In fact just the idea and the cell could be even more suffering. So this report I am the cell must come from a deeper insight about yourself. Then we say who am I? And we find I am this. That we say self, that we say german, that we say awareness. We see that it is empty of all phenomenal qualities. Yet the knowingness, the awareness, the primal witnessing does not go anywhere. It just is. So we can see that this awareness is the essence of the cell. Or we can see that it is the self itself. It doesn't make so much difference. Whether we say awareness is the essence of the cell. Or we say that it is the self itself.
