Meditation on the fragile self

“You enter the brain through the eye, march up the optic nerve, round and round the cortex, looking behind every neuron, and then before you know it, you emerge into daylight on the spike of a motor nerve impulse, scratching your head and wondering where the self is”  ~ Daniel Dennett

How would you say who you are?  What is your identity?

Observe yourself and see if you can grasp yourself.  Where are you?  Where is your identity?  Can you point to where your identity is in your body?

Stay still.  Don’t move.  Don’t change.  How do you feel?

What is it like to be a virtual self?
