Perhaps it makes more sense to think of what we are as energy that can be experienced through the lens (or connection) of different things--as opposed to a body, or more specifically a mind in a body thinking.
Try this: Bring the energy to the heart. Try that experience. Then bring you back up to the mind. And experience yourself through your mind. Notice the difference. When the energy goes back up to the physical location of what we consider the mind, everything kind of opens up in a different way than when the energy is in a different place. When the energy goes to the mind there are different voices, more of them, than when the energy is in other places. As I type this, the energy is in my throat. So look at me go.
Of course, the energy can also leave the body. Go to the forest and put your arms out, palms upward and experience the energy in the forest without "your body". Oh my god, we don't really exist in the way we think we do. Imagine that. We can be all around looking in. Or we can be all "in" looking out. The variations, like sexual positions, are enormous. Because we are really the energy. And we are only "in here" when our energy goes back in the area called our brain.
And if you really want to experience the difference, think through your ass. Come on you can do it. Especially at night. You may be able to discovery what is meant by the root chakra. And of course, then you can travel down to the center of the earth, or wherever the fuck you want. Its all good. Its all you/not you. Look at you go!
