Why are we normally not able to feel disidentified with the body?

When the body moves autonomously, the illusion of control dissolves, and consciousness awakens to its true nature as the witness of existence.

— Osho
According to Osho, we usually cannot feel disidentified with the body because there is no gap between doer and doing: the body obeys our will, so mover and moved seem one. Identification rests on control. When the body moves autonomously, a gap appears and consciousness naturally becomes a witness, revealing our separateness.

Because your body usually does what you tell it, you feel like it’s you; only when it moves on its own can you notice you’re the watcher, not the body.
