[daniel695]

as the title says how do i know if i am?

i'm noticing i'm identified with the doer and blame my self or guilt trip when i do something or should of done something. i also believe i could of changed the situation. is being identified with the emotion, mean being identified with the body? and being identified with your thoughts, mean being identified with the mind?

Literally ask yourself, "am I limited to the body?" Yes or no? The answer is obvious.

If the thought is believed then there's identification to the thought. If the feeling in the body gets expressed as an emotion or thought then there is identification to the feeling. If you believe to be the body separate from everything else then there is identification to the body.

If you are strongly indentified with a mind then you will be also intentified with "physical" body and emotional body....etc

Go skydiving for the first time.

If you think you're gonna die, you're attached.

If you think it's fun and safe, probably not.
