Imagine that you are an alien spirit, whose mission it is to inhabit the body of a human being over the course of its lifetime.
The catch is that you only exist in presence. You have no control over the body or mind you inhabit. Your only purpose on Earth is to bear witness to the human experience.
Every thought, feeling, and action arises independently of your will. You feel human feelings. You think human thoughts. But deep down, your true self is beyond the mind it occupies, and transcends the body it presently pervades.
This knowledge comes not from the mind (because the mind, ultimately, is not yours). It is a knowledge beyond conception. And though the mind you inhabit is unaware of the spirit by which it is graced, there is an otherworldly Awareness that never leaves you. Because it is You.
