Wow, Element, thanks for that post.

Which Skandha is the one that is regards itself as self, conciousness?

"Here, monks, the uninstructed worldling... regards body as the self, the self as having body, body as being in the self, or the self as being in the body. [Similarly with 'feelings,' 'perceptions,' 'mental formations,' 'consciousness.'] So this way of regarding arises: it occurs to him to think 'I am.'[1]

I'm just thinking of the above from the Samanupassannaaa Sutta

Thanks in advance.
