The false identity is in control of the body and mind and would rather destroy them than give up control.

It's like a koan, and any koan worth it's sashimi can't be solved. That is intentionally to show you the solution is not in your mind.

There is no answer, at least, in the sense of an answer that a jury of 12 good non-existent men and women would agree to.

In another sense, you yourself are the answer. You are the answer to every possible question. Without this ''you'' the universe and all in it disappear. So does the koan. I have yet to meet a mind that welcomes such an event.

Love ya, Jed.
That koan makes prefect sense to me  :'(

While dreaming, one is not aware of the rules that make up the apparent waking reality, so one can readily accept anything as real.
