I really wonder where or from whom did you pick up such narrow associations through your growing up ! > When asleep it is you as an organism that is asleep. You mean to say now that the organism ( the body ) is different from your self ? If yes, who and what is this self, and how do you know if it so ? You've said it is unconscious, where as you are conscious. So, being of diametrically opposite, opposed and contrary nature, are you the self or the non-self ? You could choose to begin all over again and review the true nature of the self and what constitutes it. Then, what is your true nature ? Or, are you saying that, when asleep, you are the organism and there is no self ? > Don't mistake awareness with yourself , it is simply a state of an organism > just as the dream and sleep states. Don't worry about my mistakes. It is time you worried about yours ! I am not exactly excited about having a response from you.
