Why Do "i" Think It Is A Body?

[Paan]

This question poped up, Any thoughts?

Lets say when my body dies, does awereness go to just being or does it "attach" to another object? 

[bobbyward]

I would imagine I thinks its a body becuase of genetics and conditioning. In the theory of enlightenment, there are no objects, just self aware experience

Because having thought so for millions of years have led up to where you are right now. Survival is the main reason you have perception. There's a single amoeba cell that moves when poked. Whatever causes that single cell to perceive the poke and move away from it is what's causing you to move away from whatever you think is harming the body.

This was described by Peter Ralston. I don't think you can tie anything to it other than survival really.
