Ok, there's a difference in that I did not use quotes around - I - but you 
did.  This is because when I is used when speaking conventionally, it 
refers to the body and mind.  When "I" is used to refer to the ego self, it 
is referring to something that does not, in fact, exist.

No - the eyes are open.

Just attention.
