Where are you?
Are you in your brain? Are you in your body?
Where are you located exactly? Are you in your brain? If your brain is transplanted into a different body, will you continue to be you? Of course not. Your brain by itself does not define you. You have your second and third brains in your heart and gut. Your whole body defines you.
So are you in your body? Sure does feel like it. But then, your body itself is in the outside world. So are you in the outside world too? Are you everywhere? Sure doesn’t feel like it. Most often we feel alone and cut off from the outside world. We do not experience our interconnectedness with our environment at every moment. When we do feel it, it is fleeting.
Your skin isn’t a wall that cuts you off from the outside world. It is a bridge that connects you to everything else. How can you experience this?
How can you know and live the fact that you are the universe?
Depends on what you’re involved in.
And depends on how uninvolved you can be.
If you’re involved in thinking all the time, you will identify only with your thoughts. If you are involved in your body, you’ll know that you are your body. And if you are involved in your environment, you’ll know that you are your environment. But to be involved in something, is to be uninvolved from everything else.
So to see where you are — to see that you are everywhere, you have to be uninvolved from everything. Practise seeing things from the outside-in. Learn to step back and let go. That’s the trick.
