ACM Beyond the Body

For many of us the body seems to be our primary means for communication. But the ego also uses the body for pride, pleasure and attack which actually constrains communication.

Trying to focus on acim beyond the body helps us see through these defenses and move past them into real healing and waking.

What is the purpose of the body?

Speaker: The body is a temple in the sense that it can be used by the Holy Spirit for communication. The ego, however, uses the body for pride, pleasure and attack which restricts communication.

Leonardo da Vinci was interested in proportion and saw the human body as an analogy for the workings of the universe. He also believed that the different systems of the body worked together to improve our chances of survival. For example, the circulatory system depends on the lungs to bring in oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna explains that the body is made up of five elements, kshetra (the field), ahamkara, buddhi and prakrti and the karmendriyas and jnanendriyas. He goes on to say that the atma experiences sukha and dukkha through association with a body.

In other words, it is through the experience of a body that we are able to distinguish between a dukkha and a sukha. In a sense, this is why the Lord says that the atma needs a body. Without a body, the atma cannot experience either sukha or dukkha.

What is the purpose of the mind?

The question of what the mind is, how it works and why it works has amazed thinkers throughout history. Different approaches to the mind have emerged, ranging from behaviourism, innate ideas, functionalists and computational theories. These theories attempt to explain the mind in terms of its cognitive properties and what it does, but they fall short of explaining the subjective experience of having a mind. These experiences are called qualia and they include sensations like pleasure, pain and awareness.

The human mind is a powerful tool that can be used to create what you want in your life. However, it is important to understand that thoughts are not the same as reality and they can often be distorted by the ego. This is why it is so important to retrain the mind using methods like meditation and affirmations. Once you have mastered these techniques, you can use your mind to manifest what you desire in your life.

A lot of people think that the brain and the mind are two separate things, but this is not true. In fact, the brain and the mind are one and they work together to make you who you are.

As a matter of fact, your mental processes are much more powerful than the physical processes in your body. For example, if you have a strong thought about something, it can actually cause physical changes in your body. The same is true for negative thoughts, as they can actually cause you to feel bad or even sick.

The purpose of the mind is to allow you to communicate with God and other spiritual beings. It is not for your ego’s purposes, which are pride, pleasure and attack. Once you retrain the mind to discern the Holy Spirit’s purpose from the ego’s, it will no longer seek pleasure or attack in the world.
