Do I exist?

"Hello! Hello!, is there anybody out there?...

If there is no 'self' to be talked of then who is making this Blog entry and who is reading it? According the many latest scientific as well philosophical understanding especially of the mind and of consciousness itself, ithat the self that we assume to be who we are does not really exist in reality. We are all part and parcel of the 'whole' manifesting as individuals in this realm of consciousness. That of who we 'think as who we are is in reality is just that; consciousness itself. We have evolved to become who we think we are through the process of conditioning and assimilation and adaption throughout our lives. From the day we were conceived till the day we die we are constantly being made to accept the tribal, societal and national norm in which we are being exposed to. Our minds is a product of the neurological functioning of our brain which is a power house and the source to our ability to function as who we are in this realm of existence; the physical or Nirmanakaya of the Buddhist realm. 
As the scientists and the contemporary philosophers delve into the nature of our existencewhat is true and what is deeper and deeper, we are set upon with numerous questions and issues that demands our attention if we are indeed true seekers of the truth. Religions are being bombarded by questions and new discovereis in their authenticity and purity and no religion is free from the scrutiny of the modern day thinkers and through acheological studies and the new  discoveries of historical facts, religions has become a spiritual jig saw puzzle with every new discovery made raising doubts and confirmations as the case may be. Science is gradually taking the lead in bringing human understanding of religions in the context of human understanding of who or what we truly are. The question "Iis there a God" or Life after death, heaven and hell and so forth, is being put under the microscope, dissected and studied from all angles and sources with the aid of the easily accessible information in this technological age of mass communication.
The Buddha is said to have said that, "For so long as there is an 'I', man will go through the life of suffering; I = suffering. Hence, no 'I', no suffering.  How does one come to a personal understanding of this idiom.  It would be next to impossible for a lay Muslim to accept this dictum as it goes against every tenets and principles of the religion. Man is created as an being with a soul and a body primarily and according to the Quran, Allah (SWT) created man and Jins for no other reason than to worship the One True God. Christianity on the other hand professes that only through Jesus (PBH) can man find his salvation. Hinduism teaches that it is man's realization of his Atma Brahman, his ultimate Divine Consciousness that is the goal of his liberation. In all of these beliefs and practices throughout the ages there has always been an 'I' that needs to be understood and dealt with at least spiritually. There was never a time when the 'I' does not exist as everytime we communicate we begin with an I. We acknowledge that there is an entity witihn that is distinct from all else 'otu there'. This I, the self, is a common denominator among man universally. "I Am, That I Am!" The Lord said unto Moses and I am Atman, the spiritual principle of the Universe, according to Hinduism. So, who or what is 'I'? The I that we grew up with and spend a great deal of the time defending it against any form of attack or threats albeit socially or physically.
