Even so, what is dredged up is done so by the awareness, which still does not give definition or identification of the awareness itself. In a way, that process reminds me of a game we played on my youngest daughter when we suggested she try to see her eyeballs. She actually tried it. I'm not sure an awareness can "see" itself any more than you can see your own eyeballs.
It does seem that that which is aware only sometimes resides in the body.
In regard to assistance with identifying which part is aware, I'd be curious what you might be able to help with and what form that help would take.I could help with your effort to have an astral experience.
What I was suggesting, in terms of locating your awareness, was not a body scan. Unfortunately, your tendency to want to merge what I am saying with everything else you have heard keeps you from understanding what I am saying. For the record, I am not into the whole mental, emotional new age toltec, so if that is what you are wanting then my suggestions will be of no use to you. Otherwise, it is on you to give what I am suggesting a fair try.
I must have missed it. I believe you suggested I examine my foot, which led me to recall the business of a body scan. Perhaps you could be more explicit.
