"you are always here, had always been here and will always be here. No matter where you go, you are always "here". To others you go here and there but to you, there is no such thing."
How true, untrue is this. |

Its true in the sense you are not a mind seperate from your corporeal form, and untrue in the sense this fact is so passe as to be not worth mentioning.

Of course, when I go over there, and if I one asked where I am, it would not be incorrect to say that “I'm over here”, but that I reference my location as being “here” isn't to say that I'm always here, for my location is not always the same. So, my reference of where I'm at might not change (as I may continue to say “I'm here”), but that's not to say it means I am always here, for as I've already stated: sometimes, I'm over there. |

But, I am not where you are.
I am where I am, but I am not always where I am (now), for sometimes, I am somewhere else. So, though I am always located wherever it may be that I'm located, that's not to say that I am always located in the same place. |

Even if we can determine the specific positions of the molecules/electrons/particles attributable to 'you', it would have changed position by the time your mind become aware of it. So whatever position that reach your consciousness is always a 'there' and not a 'here' due to the split second move of molecules or matters attributable to your body. To be more truthful, there is no precise 'here'. 'Here' is just a relative position for the convenience of communication. Actually you are in a underterminable 'somewhere' conveniently termed as 'here'. |
