ME = KNOWLEDGE OF ME
Cognition is the process of formation of a thought, and intangibly our self-awareness emerge. Self-awareness is the knowledge of your own existence, your senses, the boundaries between what constitutes you and the outer world. So who is in possession of this knowledge if your inner-self is the knowledge itself? Having say that, we unconsciously presume knowledge has to be possessed, or has to be possessed by somebody.
WHO POSSESSES IT?
Obviously there isn't any somebody here, so does that mean it's "something" that possesses the knowledge (inner-self)? Who/what is thinking what is being thought? What is feeling what is being felt through the sensory perceptions which are no more than electrical impulses wading its way through the interconnected neural network? At first glance the answer seems conspicuously obvious: The brain.
THE ROCK
We find it so enigmatic about how one's self-awareness develops. We can feel it, in fact we are it, so what makes it so abstruse to comprehend? We find it hard because we thought we understand how does it feel to be an object that doesn't exhibit intelligent behavior, e.g. a rock. No one knows how does it feel to be a rock because no one has ever been one. If he's one, he can't describe because being a rock is like in a different world: a world made up of numbness, nothingness, or not even the nothingness itself. So how does this relate to our self-awareness's conundrum? Because in fact, we are made up of molecules and particles just like the aforementioned rock. The fact that both us and the rock are the same thing, yet only we have self-awareness, and we don't have a verb to describe the self-awareness's process.
KNOWLEDGE AND ONLY KNOWLEDGE
To make things clearer, let's disregard the previous explications. If self-awareness is an agglomeration of knowledge perceived through the senses (and some chemical reactions that enacts our emotion), and our inner-self is self-awareness itself, then we are nothing more than a knowledge possessed by nobody (but contained within the brain). But knowledge is relative, multi-point of view, therefore it can't exist in this space as absolute and definite matter. To illustrate that knowledge is relative and infinite, consider the number '1'. Is it really '1'? No, it's not. It's defined to be somewhere on a point on a linear graph. The linear graph itself is also relative, it could've been a wavy line, or an odd shape. Does 1 + 1 has to be 2? No, again, we define it to be so. It's not absolute. Everything is just a symbol, and every symbol can be any symbol. So everything can be anything. But even the very symbol has to be acknowledged through some form of symbol. So it's sort of an endless loop.
ANOTHER REALM
The knowledge cannot exist in our 4D world that's bound by laws of physics due to its out-of-this-world nature. So let's put it this way: It's out-of-this-world.
