We are not the body

We are not the body………… How many of us agree to this?

     Unfortunately, there are very few in the world today that fall into this category.  Virtually all of us believe that we are the body.  We may protest, “This is the age of science knowing has to be the right path for us.” But the mystics can only smile. “Do your senses obey you? If they do, you might be on the right track. But if they insist on getting what they want, you’ll better consider the way of love instead.”

     Anyone can overcome their conditioning: not by reasoning with it, not by suppressing it, not by taking security hormones, but by learning to master his own mind.  When that is done, all conditioning goes.  Just as milky way has lots of galaxies, each person has worlds in the galaxy of the brain. Brain is not consciousness, it is an instrument of consciousness. When consciousness is changed, there will naturally be correlated changes in brain biochemistry and behavior.

     “Wake up, sleep and rise from the dead, and the Christ will give you light.” This is the promise of all the great religions: when we unify with our consciousness completely.

     “Wake up! It is time to wake up. You are strong and young in heart; why do you waver?” Says compassionate Buddha.

     “We live in “the light that knows no night,” in a day that never ends.” Says St. Teresa.
