When were you not the Self?

This is nice video by Advaitin James Swartz, titled "Advanced Argument for Enlightened People", as part of a discussion on the Panćadaśi. The teacher -- James Swartz, is an interesting individual and I first ran into him in a book titled "(https://www.amazon.com/Mystic-Default-James-Swartz/dp/B00RM1VU72)".

Someone had told me about it and I had acquired an e-book version of the document (an autobiography). After purchasing it and leafing through the first few pages, I put it on the back-burner for a few years, until i finally got around to reading it, on account of sheer boredom (I was on long a flight from the US to India).

Once i started reading it, I couldn't put the book down. And then after reading it, I promptly forgot about the author, until I recently saw that he teaches Vedānta and has many youtube videos. https://youtu.be/FL4IjgpE6C0
