The body is a biological machine, an instrument used to conduct tests, study this environment/ realm/dimension. We operate it from a different place. Sought of like a video game where you control an avatar to experience a world you can’t physically exist in.
I never believed I (my true self) was the body or even inside of it. The body/machine/vessel can breathe on its own without you having to think about it. It consumes various energies, digesting it to form/build/regenerate/rebuild itself in various ways…without you having to think that process through. The body prepares and removes waste/poisons through sweat/urine/feces without you having to think it through. Pain isn’t real…what you feel is a warning/the brain alerting consciousness the body is suffering/damage and that you need to be more careful with it… or it won’t function properly. The body heals itself, meds don’t heal you…they only assist you in coping with the process of healing. Meds have the potential to do damage to the mind…as the patient is trained to believe the DR. is actually healing them with chemicals that are foreign to the bodies make up.
When the body becomes exhausted, it will require rest/cool down period…like any other machine. Dreams are contemplations, the mind dwelling/deciphering/analyzing your previous thoughts, your reflections prior to sleep. The body rests but the mind is always active. In sleep the mind stays learning; just like meditation… the calm brings peace and clarity. Ever heard of the term “sleep on it”? When you awake your faculties are fuzzy…as the machine reboots itself while the consciousness reconnects with the device/body, it’s sometimes hard to tell what’s real or not for a brief moment…but when that connection is made… any thoughts before the sleep cycle will have a much better understanding.
If the brain is dead/damaged…The body can still be laying in a bed with other machinery hooked up to it…assisting the body to function regularly (breathing, digesting, removal of waste, healing) all on its own…but the body cannot move unless a thought commands it to. It’s not a meat suit, you are not inside of it… you remote control it. Learn to accept and trust your higher self…the world/illusion will change to your liking. We’re here for the learning experience, exercise what we learned… then we move on.
Peace
