I suddenly have a question. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing the body. Did you have a similar feeling before? I don't feel the body the same way I used to.
Yes. It comes and goes, because what felt like "the body" that drops away was actually the overlay image of the body. The body itself is just a mystery of intermittent sensations that can never actually make a "body," as such.
It is very weird, because I don't feel like I have a body. It's the first time I've felt this way.
In a sense, really, truly, you don't.
It feels really weird. But I'm not too worried. It all feels good. I was just curious if you had felt the same way.
Enjoy and explore the weirdness, the wonderful weirdness of experience and sensation.
Yes. Thank you.
