Your Body Is Only in Your Mind

In this discussion about the mind-body relationship a questioner wants to know more about the connection between infinite consciousness, the finite mind and the body.

Rupert explains that there is no distinction between body and mind. Infinite consciousness localises itself as the finite mind. What we call the universe is what the activity of infinite consciousness looks like from a localised perspective. What we call the body is what the localised portion of itself looks like from the point of view of another localisation.

That's why when you close your eyes you don't experience yourself as a body — you experience yourself as a bundle of thinking sensing feeling and perceiving. But we experience you as a body. In other words, there is no relationship between the body and the mind because they are two phases of the same thing and there can only be a relationship between two things.

That is the consciousness only model.
