One thing appears to be near you, another far away because you have the ability to perceive distance. If you lose this ability, all things, including your body, will appear to be at a single point. There will be no near or far.Similarly, if you lose ability to perceive Time, things of past, present and future will all appear to be at a single point. That point is nothingness or everythingness.

Quote
Right now you are in a scene in which the main character is reading these words. In the next moment, you may enter into some far away scene (Imagination). After sleeping, you move through many random scenes (Dreaming). So, you are not a fixed thing which enters in the body at birth and moves out at death. You are a thing which moves constantly from one scene to another, from one character to another.

When babies fall asleep at one place but wake up at another place, they don’t even feel surprised. They know that their mother must have shifted them during sleep. If something similar happens to you, you will freak out. This attachment to the body and the surroundings is the reason your higher self is not able to shift you to better scenes in life.

In ancient India, human being were simple. They would earn with their upper body (head and hands) and spend on their lower body (food, sex, travel). To break this circle and find God, technique was simple: Do fasting, abstain from sex and sit in a cave. Now you have a thousand such circles within your head. Techniques of body don’t work on you.
