This session explores how the sense of a localized, separate self is maintained through habitual identification with thought-created objects, and how this identification is the only real choice consciousness makes. The teacher uses examples from flow states, physical activity, and breath meditation to illustrate how the constructed sense of a chooser can be seen through. A candid dialogue about the back-and-forth process of approaching awakening, the losses involved, and the deep freedom inherent in choosing — or not choosing — identification rounds out the session.
