when you take your attention off your body, you become no body—and you no longer have access to (or any use for) the senses. When you take your attention off the people in your life, you become no one—and so you no longer have an identity as a parent, a partner, a sibling, a friend, or even as a member of a profession, a religious group, a political party, or a nationality. You have no race, no gender, no sexual orientation, and no age.
