Why do I feel “Inside” this body?
It’s one of those questions anyone ask.
And the answer is surprising simple: Awareness “projects” a center of experience
In every dream, there is always a central point from which you look.
At night, when you dream, you also believe that you are inside that dream-body. You feel as if it is really “you.”
Not because the body contains you,but because the dream requires
a point of view in order to be experienced.
Without perspective, the dream would be unreadable.
That perspective creates the illusion of:
inside….outside // here…there // above….below // me…..you.
It’s the structure of every dream.
The body is a “sensor suit” in the dream of form. It does not feel itself.
It is only a collection of sensations appearing in Awareness.
But Awareness identifies with that cluster of sensations and says:
“This is me.”
Just like (let me use this example again…) when you put on a VR headset:
you see hands, legs, a body and instantly you think: “That’s my avatar.”
ACIM says the same: The body is a means for experience, not your identity.
The ego survives only by creating a feeling of being localised. Without the experience of “I am in this body,” the ego could not exist.
It needs a center, a boundary, a container.
That is why it feels as if you are “inside.” That sensation is the foundation
of separation.
The ego says: This is my body…This is my point of view…This is my center.
But ACIM says: You are not in a body. The body appears in You…in Awareness.
You feel “located” because Awareness believes one simple thought: I am a separate someone.
That single belief creates: an inside…an outside….a border…a center…
a “mine” and a “not-mine”
From that comes the sensation that you are inside the body, even though the body is simply a temporary form arising within Awareness.
Your true “I” has no boundaries And you sometimes feel this:
when you lose yourself in music or you fall in love. it can also happen when you meditate or look at mountains or the sky. Sometimes when you are deeply moved or laugh until you cry.
In those moments, there is no “inside” and no “outside.”
You feel your true Identity: boundless, spacious, completely present.
So where does the feeling of “I am in this body” come from? From one simple source: it is the dream of separate existence, but the dreamer
(your real Self) is not limited by the body, not contained inside the body,
and has no center.
The body is an experience within Awareness, never the container of Awareness.
With love and light,
