Guest guest Posted January 22, 2000 Report Share Posted January 22, 2000 Hi Chris, >>Xanma: >>Just as there is the apparency of a physical body which we perceive through >>the senses of that body (and we sanely act-as-if is real) there are more >>subtle bodies. The mental and emotional functions are less dense >>configurations of energy than the physical and could be thought of as mental >>and emotional "bodies" because they are unitary - unique to each apparent >>individual within common structures. Other bodies have temporary existence >>also, of longer duration than the physical, made of consciousness and finer >>expressions of energy, bonded with and yet able to function without the >>physical form. They are what incarnate. All forms appear within and as >>expressions of Self. > >I perceive the "problem" arises also What problem?

But in practice you still treat them like separate bodies. You wash your physical face... but I'll bet you don't try to clean up the emotions or the mind with a wash-cloth and soap. )) Love, Dharma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
