to Amarnath about identification with the body

[Guest guest]

Dear Amarnath ~ Yes! Big lessons to me about not being the body, as my body

has taken so many hits, and now has been in chronic pain for 20 years. Even as

I sit with my shoulders, legs, even sometimes fingers, hurting so much, I

can find that space, if I so choose, where I realize I am not this painful

body. And even when I am painfully aware (pun intended) of this body, I can

still choose among several or all options: hug this body and let her know I care

for her and that Mother cares for her; challenge this body by taking it on a

ride or for a walk; or simply sit with it and " let it be, " while at the same

time quieting the monkey mind that wants to jump all around, screeching. You

have been part of this healing journey that I have been on my entire life,

and for that, many many thanks. Jai Jai Ma ~ Linda P.S. I really liked

watching and listening to Mooji on YouTube.

Also, Amma says that it is this identification with body that is the

cause of all our problems; and Amma suggests that instead of believing

we are the body, we start believing that we are not the body and see

what happens.

 

The same teachings, the essence of spirituality, is also expressed by

other teachers in slightly different words, expressions, language.

Here is one such example :

" Is it really possible to realise the Self? " ~ Mooji
