I am conscious and so there is a separation between body and mind, between body and mind. My thinking took on a life of its own in a conceptual world. a dissociated world. But underneath it all, I am still an animal, with an animal body. With all the trimmings. a body to keep my nervous system safe.In each state of safety, I am a different one.
My consciousness and my actions that belong to and flow from it are obligingly available to my safety. My state of consciousness is secondary to my environment. Only a few are able to remain stable in behavior, state of mind, emotional experience and consciousness without a frozen or conditioned state.
