Consider this:
Your body is a story. It tells the story of your time here on earth. It contains information about you that, if one could read the ‘body book’ properly, would reveal so much about who you are it would be incredible.
It contains your experiences, and particularly it has held on to the experiences you couldn’t process effectively at the time they happened. It has held on to them in the muscles and tissues, in your posture and positioning.
It holds your thoughts about yourself and the world.
It holds information about your ancestors and where you came from.
Your body is actually a blueprint of your personality. It is a map of YOU.
BUT only the relative, earthbound you.
It doesn’t tell anything about who you are as consciousness. It doesn’t say anything about the timeless, eternal, silence that is your true nature. It can’t. Form cannot explain the formless.
So there you are, two things in one. That is the quintessential paradox of the human being. Being two things, one of the relative world and one of the absolute world, and each containing and pointing to the other.
Your purpose is to carry both, honour both, and know both.
