“We tend to take our sense of self for granted because it feels so fundamental to our
conscious experience, but it’s a feature the brain works hard to maintain. From the moment you took your first breath, your brain got to work, sifting through a barrage of sensations, emotions, and memories to create this illusion.

As real and as wonderful as you undoubtedly are, being real doesn’t guarantee entry to
perception or awareness.”
