Understanding the Body-Mind Concept

What is meant by ‘body-mind’, and how does it relate to awareness? Rupert says: ‘A body-mind is just that – what you seem to be as a person, a mixture of your physical body and your mind, that is, your thoughts, feelings, memories, images and so on. In this consciousness-only model, infinite consciousness is the sole reality. The activity of consciousness is what we call “mind”. And the body is what a portion of that mind looks like when it’s perceived from a second-person point of view. When one finite mind looks at another finite mind, it appears as a body. When you look inside yourself, you see thoughts, feelings, images, memories. But when I look at you, I see a body.’
