I am not my body

7 04 2008

I am not my body.
My body is a vessel, it carries the essence of me.
My body is the physical manifestation of the Life force I am.
It allows my being to sense everything this world has to offer.

I am not my body.
My body is dying, slowly decaying from birth to death.
My body is the temporary home of the eternal being I am.
It allows me to let go of all things material before I move on.

I am not my body.
My body is my shepherd, it leads me beside still waters.
My body is the spiritual teacher in the earthly life I chose.
It allows me to live in the moment, to be one with Life.

I am not my body
I live in this body, living proof of the creative being I am.

“My body is the spiritual teacher in the earthly life I chose.”

This has been my belief for some time now… It is amazing to see it in written word. This piece, this beautiful affirmation, this is wisdom… wisdom andd I am blessed you shared it.

Thank You,
Sincerely, Enreal

p.s. I am reading this book… Journey of Souls… sounds relevant

Dear Enreal, you are always welcome here to share your ideas and thoughts.
I am glad the words I wrote resonate within you. It is in sharing that I find the words to express the essence of being. Thank you for being a part of that experience! Norea

it can be possible, that the soul lives not only inside the body, but also around it, it embraces the body, so the body lives inside the soul.

Lil,
You’ve spot it, you’ve got it! You recognize beauty as a reflection of your own beauty…
I will do my best to clarify my words by comment or mail, whichever way is most appropriate.

Dear Eva,
I surely do believe that to be true. The life force that I am cannot be contained by this human body. Thank you for enriching this post.
You are always welcome here to share your thoughts and ideas. I’d love to hear from you again. Be well, Norea

Hello Norea,

I read a bunch of your posts and enjoyed them.

I too am not a body, I am not even this I. :)
