Do I Experience Myself?

Question

Rabbi Michael, hello,
Like saying “a God who creates Himself” is a logical fallacy,
is saying “I experience myself” also a logical fallacy?
 
And if so, does that undermine everything I assume or infer in general?
 
Thank you for your time 🙏🏼

Answer

I think not. Just as we think about our own thinking (that is the field of logic),
one can also view this along the axis of time. “X creates itself” is a contradiction, because before it created itself it does not exist, and therefore cannot create anything. But experiencing oneself is simultaneous. Not every self-reference is contradictory.
