with 'we' I mean: our conciousness. Not our bodies. We are not our bodies. We are our minds.
When your arm is numb, because it was lying in an akward position and the blood flow is interrupted, you are not 'in your arm' anymore. You don't feel anything in your arm = you are gone in that part of your body.
You are not your body.
The numbness of an arm shows us the difference between 'being there' or 'not being there'. Your arm is still there, but you are gone in that part of the body.
(my English is not my native language, so I don't know wether this is a good sentence).
