Exercise: Sit with your eyes closed, and bring awareness to what you sense.
Not what you feel emotionally, but what shows up in the raw sensory fields.
Bring awareness to your foot.
Can you feel where the sock ends and your foot begins?
Can you find the barrier between the two?
Do you experience a “dissolving” of the foot, so it feels like the foot and sock are one in the same?
Do you notice that it is now only a thought that is telling you that “my foot has a sock on it”, because in reality you can’t feel that it is so?
How much of what you experience is reality and how much is fantasy?
How do you know the difference?
