The use of words may be frustrating in this case. Often My Guru will say "this 
one" 
replacing the word "I", the other Gurus in my path do the same. My Guru said 
that 
speaking this way is researved or those Realized because the "me" is gone and 
there is 
nothing to replace it with. On other occasions, my Guru will say I and me, but 
in general in 
my gurus books, she cautions the disciples not to view the Guru as persona but 
as 
consciousness

Generally speaking, Gurus will say I and me, and as I cast my opinion before, 
when they 
use this speach, and if they are claiming enlightenment, and at the same time 
referring to 
the individual I, then this is dellusion.

Since there is no "Me", then when they use this, they are referenceing 
something other- I 
think this is understood by many or most here. 

The bottom line is not changing as I see it- my Guru's comments- "the fallacy 
is that a 
"me"  becomes enlightened
