Consciousness means understanding that you are all those things at once.
All those voices in your head.
You are them all at the same time, and yet you are not.
All the feelings, yet not only that.
All the sorrow, joy, and deep pain.
It’s a bit like closing your eyes and flying through your own body—a tour through everything that you are.
You are your whole body, all at once. Imagine how hard it must be for the body to explain this. Right now, you are your liver, your lungs, your thoughts, and your feelings all at the same time.
When you start seeing everything in your body—all your bad thoughts, but also the good ones—as part of yourself, just as you would see your big toe, a whole new world opens up to you.
