Self or No Self

[mdat]

All,

This is my first post as a new member of HDF. Because my ignorance is so complete regarding Hinduism in general, most of my posts will likely come in the form of a question. Thank you for any guidance if my post be found in the wrong forum.

Is it true that there is no "I" or "You" in Hinduism; no "self" or "self-worth"; that all is one ? I've heard this and/or read it at some point.

What I mean to say is, we are not posting this question to ourselves. Rather I am posting it to you all. And the fact that my question has meaning and (hopefully) is meaningfully stated suggests that there is self worth in not only knowledge exchange but in in many other areas too.

Isn't it a false statement that you and I are one -- that you and I posess no self worth?
