I don't really know. That's what I'm pondering lately on. I really don't know, but I'm sure as hell that all this suffering and sense of needing something is not true. I don't know now if I just stop striving for things, for the things that are essential for survival and overall physical well being I will be OK. Something tells me that I won't. But life will show anyway. There's that neediness to make things better or correct them for me. It's really driving me nuts. So I think that there's no thing that is spiritual. That's ever going to make me peaceful when I'll get it. Maybe when I'll recognize something which always was and I'll have no doubt that it will be. Maybe if there is such thing, then it must be here as well. Not as a thing.
Excuse me for my rant, just felt like that. And your thread was there, very related.

I seem to be. But when I recall dreaming state I am also a doer of dream body, even though not aware of my waking state body while it could have moved during sleep. I actually have sleepwalked when I was a kid. Remaining completely unaware of bodily actions. I feel this is really important, but it really tickles my mind!
I don't really think thoughts too, they come by their own, it seems. But I feel like I have the power to acknowledge reality and importance of thoughts at least. Just like everyone else, equally.

Oh, there's no such entity as doer. Haha, the body is the only doer.

Do you feel the freedom in that or is it intellectual knowledge?
It's more than intellectual knowledge. But it still needs pondering, I feel. I sort of snap in and out of it.

We are not a body. We are free. The body is the cell we choose to lock ourselves in. We were created I believe, to come full-circle. To believe we are bodies and believe in this delusion only to come around full-circle at our own pace to recognize this is not so.
That's beautiful way to see it
