Well, I thought, now I am playing Dan Millman again, and I might as well get used to it for a few more seconds in eternity, until this, too, passes. But now I know that I am not only the single piece of flesh—and that secret makes all the difference! (8.76)
Here Dan tells us that the super-duper secret that grants him peace is the knowledge he's not only his mortal body. He's everything, the Consciousness of it all. It has taken all of Socrates' training and all of Dan's discipline to prepare him to arrive at this awareness well enough to truly adopt it and give up his attachment to his mind and mortal life.
