| C29.1 | To continue. Even with your failing memory, joint pain, and dentures, try to remember a time not too, too long ago, when you thought that you were a body. You may have even gone to extremes to make it look attractive to others. Maybe you wanted to use the body to convey ideas like strength, vitality, masculinity, and femininity. Now, you each know that the body is to be in service to the soul, to God Herself, and not any limited human idea. This change in purpose from ego to soul is revolutionary dear ones. It removes a major burden from the body’s experience. It is no longer a slave to a slave master, the ego. Now, the body is free because the soul is free. Look around you. What do you see? You don’t see much freedom out there. There is imprisonment to ideas and expectations. Are the people running through the park because they love running or for some other reason, maybe one that is unknown to them? Why do people lift heavy tires and crawl through the mud? Why do they eat salads that they may not even like? Count yourselves among the lucky few, Christs. You are free. If you’re brave enough, walk in the rain and let it ruin your hairstyle and make the makeup run down your face. Go out into nature whenever possible. Enjoy the cold weather, the hot weather, the perfect conditions, and the extreme ones. Let your body follow its new lord and master, freedom from tyranny of the fearful ego. Be free. Be free from worry. Be free from expectations. Stop caring what others may think or say about you. Slaves are always jealous of those who are free. Let your soul do the job it was always meant to do, which is to care for the body with love. |
