“I am the body.”

It is impossible to substantiate this view:

1.) For when I think, “I am the body,” I am involved in thought alone, and this thought cannot make contact with the presumed referent (i.e., the body).

2.) And when I don’t think, “I am the body,” then the experience is unfolding as and however it is. There is just experiencing.

Since I cannot substantiate this view, it would be wise to be open to the possibility that I am not the body.
