sounds interesting Buttonlane,.
it is quite an eye-opening revelation when it comes to you like that,.
I had this too once, and straight away I saw that we are not the body either,.
that was quite powerful,.
these revelations tend to come hand-in-hand with meditation,.
but if you see it as some attainment or some "thing" you can hold then it tends to dissapear as quickly as it came.
it's quite difficuilt to just let these insights come and go becasue part of us gets quite excited about certain insights or revelations that come to you.
but the sureest way to stop insights coming is to get excited about them and to hold onto what you've come across or seen in yourself.
