You are assuming that I have asked the question merely to play out a drama that I am conditioned to play out, with no purpose other than reinforcing a story that my small self finds important. That would be an impractical thing to do, without any purpose whatsoever, in my opinion. Rather, the reason that I posed the question was because of my personal belief based on experience, that if the idea or experience of being unawakened can be identified and *localized* within the physical body's physiology, it can be dealt with, and eliminated, if one so chooses. So my only purpose for bringing this up was to begin to share a method of uncovering the Self that I believe applies to anyone. It does make the assumption that we use the physical body as a vehicle for our development. How do you understand the process of awakening, and how does it avoid any connection to the purification of the body's physiology?
