The Wisdom Of The Body

"Nature is imbued with the keys to your greater becoming"
they said.

I wondered about it as I could feel as if on some molecular level this were true,
that the keys were all through our world here. This being a radiation of consciousness, of being, this world or reality, then it follows that what made our souls individual also was involved in making or constructing this world....

We have eschewed the body for so long, and have been pitted against nature in a kind of duel to the death. Nature was something to be subdued, feared. We are beginning to see nature for what she is and as we do that we get closer to the keys.

Our bodies were made perfectly. We are not some dirty lot here on earth as some religions would have us believe. Our nature is divinely concieved and has a wisdom that sometimes utterly escapes us. Its when we revel in its sensual qualities that we are able to see hints of what it is capable of showing us of our larger natures.

Our bodies are reflections in a manner of our soulself. Its qualities are qualities made physical which the soul posesses and which needs in order to express itself. We are two halves of a whole, symetrical....and we are designed to create new life. We also have impulses which are themselves divinely inspired which we have very often handled poorly. These impulses lead us to where we need to go....yet we have spent thousands of years trying to sublimate them, to hide or change them, or fight against them. Anytime you try to wrestle with yourself you will likely wind up getting into a conflict. And who really wants that?

We are afraid of our nature, I think that is what it is. Instead of being able to embrace it, we looked warily askance at it and held it at arm's length and proclaimed it to be bad. It wasn't that it was bad but that it had a potency and the ability to lead the individual into realms of experience that are vivid and divine and sometimes when unrefined, we can even fear the true light.

The body has its own consciousness and wisdom. Letting the body speak and express itself is the way to surrender and discovering what great riches it has in store for us.
