the sense of self remains intact

“Did you have a sense of self? The sense of self was still completely there, even when completely out of the body. I didn't relate to the body anymore. I knew it was my body, but I didn't identify with it in any way.”11:11

“I had no sense of a body, no feeling of limitations or boundaries, yet I was still me and all the while aware that I was having this experience.”4:09

“I was still thinking like myself, feeling like myself.”1:59

“Well, one of the things that I learned at that point is that I still looked like me, I still felt like me, I still thought like me; I was still me.”27:05

“I was still me, I was still very cognizant and conscious.”2:21

“I needed to get my bearings and was aware that, even though I couldn't see my body anymore, I was still 'myself' with all my feelings, character traits and thinking.”1:30

“It was really dark, but I could see without having eyes. It was still me, my thinking ability, my feelings and emotions, and my personality were all intact.”1:49

“I Vis I remembered everything, I was still me.”17:56

“It was like I was still me, but I wasn't.”19:13

“I was still me, though; no body, nothing of me, but it was me with all the mind of me.”3:22

“I was still me.”3:35

“I could not explain where I was, but I felt just like me. I had the same sensations of being me.”11:03

“And, um, I also let me say that I recognize my personality was still intact, um, for the most part. I, when I looked down and said, 'That sucks,' that's something Anna would say, like, that's something I would say. And so it dawned on me that, 'Oh, I still am me, right?' Like I don't know what I expected, but I was a little bit kind of, uh, like I kind of got excited, like happy about that. I was happy, like, 'Oh, I'm still me.' So I still have my memories, I'm still me.”8:15

“And although I was still having a sense of self, and it's like I was just vanishing.”8:51

“Like you were like, you are like, okay, but something's different. And it wasn't, I was in like a body, but it was still me. Like it was like my thoughts, it was still me.”5:43

“But I was still myself. I still had my history. I still had my personality.”43:54
