The body is the storehouse, vessel, and tool of our spirit. It is our physical connection to this world for without it we would not exist. It is our shell as much as we power it.
What do you mean by “power” it? Are we not our bodies?
No, we are not. If you want to look at it through that lens, the physical body is a reflection of us. It is included in our multidimensional makeup and is a result of physical expression. We operate our body utilizing our mind and power it through our spirit. It is our vessel that carries us through time and space in this three-dimensional realm. We also experience this 3D world through the body’s senses. That being said, we can get caught up in the sensory perception of particle matter as being the only point of reality we experience when it is only a fraction of total reality.
Most of the world is comprised of empty space. We assume there is “nothing” in space because our senses perceive objects not near us as being distant. It is in this nothingness, however, that we are connected. This is objective reality. The majority of the time, however, we dwell in subjective reality. This is where we live in comparisons and contrasts of our individual experiences. We refer to ourselves as “I” to create the distinction between our personal reality and the realities of other entities in the shared existence. We attach references like “you”, “he/she”, “they/them”, and “it” to opposing entities outside of our subject.
While we may not share the same individual experiences, we do share the commonality of experience and existence. The floor does not have the same perspective as the ceiling, but they do inhabit the same realm of physical existence. Relating to us as people, we occupy different realms of thought, emotion, physicality, action, and more by way of our subjective experience. Objectively speaking, we are all the same. We are part of the One True Self that is expressed as multiple entities across the three dimensional plane. We are different in nature while also of the same origin. This experience is the Self experiencing the Self as multi-complex expressions. We are fragments of that Self.
While I am I, I am also You. You are Me. Put together, You and I become We. We are Us. In the separation, there is unity and in the unity there is separation. Such is the paradox of nature and it is perfectly so.
