Who Has a Body?

Think the thought "I have a body."

Then ask yourself, "Who is this 'I' that has a body?"

Watch Yourself

In your imagination…

Stand in front of yourself and watch yourself.

Hover above yourself and watch yourself.

Subject / Object Swap

Flipping back and forth in your mind between perceived objects and pure subjectivity.

Here's how to get a taste for pure subjectivity:

Look at an object. Any object—a cup for instance. Note that you are perceiving it. It's an object. You are the subject. So in this subject/object relationship, you're the subject and the cup is the object.

Now look at your hand. Note that you are perceiving it. It's an object. You are the subject. So in this subject/object relationship, you're the subject and your hand is the object.

Now think about an elephant. Note that you are having the thought. In this case, the thought of an elephant is an object. You are the subject. So in this subject/object relationship, you're the subject and the thought is the object.

Now think about yourself. Note that you are having the thought. In this case, the thought of yourself is an object. You are the subject. So in this subject/object relationship, you're the subject and the thought of yourself is the object.
