Why Does Consciousness Still Feel Located in the Body?

"What practices might help overcome the mind’s persistent habit of placing the ‘I am’ inside the body despite my non-dual understanding? Rupert says: ‘It’s very natural that you feel located. Why? Because you do perceive the world through your eyes or through your sense faculties . . . Therefore, it is natural that you feel that whatever it is that is perceiving the world lives or resides just behind your eyes or inside your head . . . That illusion, the illusion that you are a localised perceiver doesn’t go away . . . Perception takes place in subject object relationship . . . Your understanding overrides the apparent evidence of sense perception, but sense perception carries on giving us an illusory picture of reality.’"
