The subject's matter :self-consciousness and the body
The body may be the object we know the best. It is the only object from which we constantly receive a flow of information through sight and touch; and it is the only object we can experience from the inside, through our proprioceptive, vestibular, and visceral senses.

The latest findings in brain research inform its suggestions. In Meditating Selflessly, James Austin -- Zen practit…
