Guest guest Posted May 23, 2004 Report Share Posted May 23, 2004 My dearest friends and Siblings, I wish to suggest a learning exercise. Please just do as I suggest, and I shall explain as you do this. I want you to find a room with a full-length mirror, a mirror in which you can see your head and your toes at the same time. Next, take off all your clothes and look at yourself, head to toe. Perhaps you look like the picture that are published in the magazines that men like to look at, perhaps not. I do not, certainly. More likely, you are too short or too tall, too fat or too thin, too white or too brown for the tastes of the men who print those magainzes. But no matter. Their opinion is irrelevant. It is your own opinion that is important. Do you like what you see? Perhaps yes, perhaps no. If no, then tough cookies because you are not allowed to trade it for another, not for as long as you live. This is the body you have. This is your home, the place where your soul is located. Get accustomed to it. But you are not the only entity that inhabits this body. The Great Mother lives there, too. Your body is a temple just as assuredly as any huge marble temple that you may visited. Your bones are the pillars of the temple, your hair the roof. Your eyes are the windows through which the Goddess sees the world. Your ears are the mircrophones through which She hears the world. Your arms are the tools that she uses to embrace other temples and touch the souls of others, and with the mirror of herself that she sees in others. Remeber this every day of your life. Take good care of this temple. Get plenty of exercise and eat good food so that the temple will remain fit and healthy. Run or walk or bicycle every day. Put down that cheeseburger and eat a carrot instead. This way she can make better use of the temple for a longer period of time. Remember that the Divine Radiance of the Universe lives within you. Let her see and hear and smell the universe around her. Let her use your arms and your mouth to bring love and compassion to all those around you. Let her especially listen to her sisters who reside in your sisters, allowing the Divine Radiance in all her various temples to shine through to each other. Namaste!
