It is commonly accepted that I am located inside the body.
However, this is not really true. First there is unattached awareness in which various objects arise and body is one of the objects of awareness.
Thus first awareness exists, then various objects arise in it.
One of them is the body.
In fact awareness can be considered to be like a field with no particular location in space.
However curiously awareness does not exist in pure form for long and soon the process of attachment begins.
As soon as attachment to body begins, the pure field becomes a living being.
As soon as I am the body idea is established, the formless, spaceless, indestructible consciousness now has become a vulnerable creature, located in space and time
