Thanks, I am glad that you liked it. The only reason for my post is to
generate some discussion on this interpretation and what the author presumably
meant by aham brahmasmi, as you say.
Also, during the course of my discussions with Vidya ("Supperstions"), he
especifically asked for the interpretation of these aphorisms based upon our
philosophy, so it was long overdue.
I have also added some more clauses to the original post but I am waiting for
some responses. Unfortunately, such posts tend to be long and a bit too
technical and people often ignore them.
