I am able to see that desires are not self. I am able to see that thoughts of hatred are not me nor mine.
However, with arising consciousness (awareness of feelings and thoughts and sense input), there is still identification. The sensation is felt, and it feels like I personally am the consciousness of it. I don't identify with the sense organ nor the sensation itself, but I identify with the consciousness of it.
For example, I am highly ambitious of just being aware of what is happening in me. "I have to stay conscious of my mind" - and I identify with that voice. I see it as necessary and vital because else I feel my head will explode with suffering, which primarily manifests as a sharp pain in the middle of my brain.
