What am I?

I have been wondering what is the solution to the mystery of "I"?  How is it that I have this identity and not some other?  How is it that there is someone here that says "I am aware from THIS viewpoint" and is not aware from another, or any other, viewpoint?  How did I choose this viewpoint?

Why is my view of the world so restricted?  And restricted to this particular viewpoint?  The awareness that sees this does not seem to be personal in any way.  It just seems to be there - or should I say, here.  It really does not seem to have any location, it's as though I can tap into this awareness or use it as if it were mine in this very restricted way, but really it does not belong to me any more than the sky above does .

Anyone who likes to think about this and has any similar thoughts is welcome to comment, I would be glad to have your take.

(Pretty sure I won't break this record)

AN INDIAN farmer has become the world's oldest dad aged 96 - beating the record he set himself two years ago.
Ramjeet Raghav was at his wife Shakuntala’s side as second son Ranjeet was born weighing 4lb 7oz, Indian and British media have reported.
The former wrestler had gained the world record in 2010 when Shakuntala , 52, gave birth to Vikramjeet.
Speaking at his home in the state of Haryana, near Delhi, Mr Raghav said: "What can I do? This is all God's wish. He wanted me to have another son."
Mr raghav admits that as proud as he is of having two healthy sons at his age, his neighbours are more jealous of his sex drive, The Daily Mail reports.
"I do it three or four times a night. My neighbours are jealous and they keep asking me for my secret but all I tell them is that it is God's will," he said.
"I'm healthy and I enjoy sex with my wife. I think it's very important for a husband and wife to have sex regularly.
"When she asks I will go on all night but for the sake of my child I've put our needs aside for now."
Mr Raghav told The Tiems of India that he had remained a bachelor and practised celibacy throughout his life until he met Shakuntala about 10 years ago.
"After staying together, we decided to extend our family and aspired for two sons. With God's grace, our wish has been fulfilled."

"Shortbread"

Not actually bread.  Very simple and easy

Ingredients enough to fill a ...

Baking tray about 12" x 7"
4 oz sugar (brown or white)
8 oz butter
12 oz flour.

(you can add some cracked wheat to the flour if you like,  to make it coarser and more crunchy)

Mix the sugar and flour in a large bowl

Cut in the butter, when it is soft enough mix the whole thing with your fingers until you get a soft lump

Set the oven to 180deg C, grease the baking tray

With the aid of a sprinkling of flour to prevent sticking, roll it out to about the size of the baking tray, roll it carefully around the rolling pin and deposit it in the tray, trimming the edges and refraining from eating the trimmings - instead, find a place for them in the tray and level the whole thing out with any handy flat object

With a knife mark divisions into the size of chunks you want, prick all over neatly with a fork and bake for

                                          30 - 40 minutes.

Don't let it get too brown. It may be necessary to turn the tray for even cooking.

Without removing from the tray, cut the divisions all through and when cool enough  place a wire rack on top and invert all to deposit the shortbread on the rack.  When cold, eat but not too much, then store the rest in a box out of the reach of dogs and children.  Keeps well if not seen by said dogs and children.
