Body identification is not something that dissolves quickly.
The sense of being a person, a body mind is all we have ever known, and life as we know it is entirely established on this foundational idea of being a particular body which is born and will die.
So when you begin to practice Self Inquiry and are being given all the proof of how you are much more than this body, doubts, fears, and confusions naturally arise.
Many of these unanswered questions keep the mind going in circles while completely distracting you from the actual inquiry.
So today I thought I’d help you put to rest, many of these doubts and confusions in regards to this very important question.
How could I possible not be the body? And what does it mean to let go of body identification?
Please watch today’s video in full here. It will bring you incredible clarity.
Best wishes,
Sunny

The body changes over time. Thoughts change over time. Feelings change over time. But YOU - the one who witnesses the changes - this one remains unchanged. Therefore, it is the only one that is REAL....
this is so insane to me.. ive always identified w all 3 of things as me, its difficult for me to separate myself from them & identify as the observer
@evalisseblooms no need to identify as the observer. In fact, identification IS the problem. Do not identify with anything. Watch yourself talking, walking, eating, conversing, working, performing actions. You will realize that every word you utter, every breath you take, every action you make, they all happen on their own. You do nothing. When you realize that this whole damn thing is happening on its own, you will see that it is all an APPEARANCE, and YOU, the ultimate reality, must be there to witness it otherwise it has no MEANING. In order to know you must unknow everything that has been put there. Then, the knot unravels itself.
wow that is so cool.... @@jsngill
The body and the world are one and ever changing in my presence.
What a tremendous service you're doing for humanity. Thank you, Sunny. 🙏🙏
The body is an experience in awareness..
If I lose an arm is awareness diminished in any way? My sense of being-aware remains untouched. My body has changed but not my sense of being.
" I " get it now. No pun intended. That "I" is in both the waking/dreaming/ sleeping phases of our experiences. This is for everyone!!
I imagine that deidentification with the body during normal waking would serve as a powerful enhancer to performing soul travel
Since I do not exist as a separate entity it could also be said that I am the world just as a wave could claim that it is the ocean although the particular form is impermanent, in its essence it is the same. And since the world and I are one, there is no longer any inclination to act selfishly.
Just one of many reasons why I love the Vedanta tradition so much: you are free to challenge or test every teaching by your own real life, actual experience!
Sunny, you are so gifted at explaining these concepts. Thank you for your gift/service 🙏
There is an inner eye where we see our dreams thoughts and imaginations and thoughts.....and see the outer world.... inner sight....wow
This is the way.
as an 18 year old The Body is the most stubborn thing to realize im not
Thank you that is a great way go beyond body, for me I learned that what I have and am in 3 dimensional experience and existence is one physical aspect in order to experience here on earth, what I am, is bigger beyond this physical
what traps me is that my eyes sees and my brain registers, and that's the body, i'm quite unsure how "the answer to the self enquiry" can be separated from it
Great conclusion.
The realization of your true nature takes care of everything including all of your baser, body identified tendencies.
Thank you for the workout :)
Truly amazing 👍🙂
You're such a great teacher Sunny! Thank you so much! ❤🙏😊😊
When we say "lower nature" and the feelings/emotions that come with it, aren't we already judging as something bad and to be avoided?
It’s for the purpose of explaining. Lower nature would refer to anything that arises on behalf of the separate self. It’s not to be avoided. It’s to be seen and understood. In understanding it is the transcendence of it

PAR EXCELLENCE 💛
@ 4:33 I get that fully, that we are in contrast to what is experienced, thus to see the body I have to be independent of it fully...BUT, why can we not move our point of view away from the body so we can see the fully body sitting in that chair...
Very nice
I is inside
Hey bro I notice we never see our own faces in our dreams
Is the feeling part of the mind or part of the I? When I’m having a good or bad feeling, the feeling is a flow like experience where I nor mind cannot be observed. So from where does a feeling arise?
Basic fundamentals
I is sight
Tough
Sunny, I have a question.
One thing that eludes me is that in deep sleep I'm not aware of "I," in that case how can you say for sure that awareness is primordial and not a by-product
You just said it. There’s an awareness of no “I.” There’s awareness but no “individual that is aware”
But doesn't awareness mean knowing. But in deep sleep there's no knower isn't it
There’s a knowing of no individual knower. There’s a knowing of the absence of content, the absence of mind. However, is it not you that knows? But that which knows, is it an object?
@@selfinquiryschool
It is after waking you're able to say that you had a deep sleep, but not while in deep sleep, isn't it?
Upon waking it is simply your mind interpreting, “there was an absence.” In sleep mind is not there to arise and say there is an absence. Yet you are there, but not as a something. In sleep there’s nothing to say and no one to say it. You cease to exist as an object, yet still you are. The body in waking, the body in dream, the absence in sleep, are all not you. They are states that you experience but you are not limited to either of the 3 states. Yet you are the underlying reality, the essence of all 3. Present in all 3 yet transcendant of them.
I = eye
How I see the question (don't know if this is how the person meant it) is that my brain is a part of my body, and I always get stuck on the idea that my awareness is a product of my brain. Therefore, how can "I" not be my body?
So don’t assume that idea, that awareness is the product of brain. Be open to the possibility that it is not. Be open to the brain itself being an experience in awareness
Yes! Science has still to find the answer to the question “How does matter produce consciousness?” I suspect that answer will never be found as it just does not make sense for matter to produce consciousness.
@@dcreighton987 and science never will find the answer because consciousness precedes scientific thought. Scientific thought arises out of consciousness.
This isn't even taught in school
