Be a human - start caring for yourself

[Visionary]

God wants nothing more than to be a self-realized/enlightened HUMAN BEING.

The masculine approach is one of self-annihilation. Let's dissect everything so there will be nothing left of me. Let's commit spiritual suicide! The masculine approach is a disease without the feminine perspective. Before you can transcend the body, the body will ask of you to love it. Completely! Do you know how threatening this is for your ego? Ego thrives by seperating itself from the body.

A lack of self-care is pure arrogance. Misplaced arrogance stemming from fear of love. It's like saying to yourself: i'm going to be as ugly as i can by neglecting my fitness, nutrition etc. So the external world doesn't need to reject me. Why should it? I CAN REJECT MYSELF! I will avoid the heartbreak and the fear of rejection by self sabotaging the whole process.

This physical perfectionism of course also has the other side of the spectrum by being overly obsessed with the physical. Here you're actually prostituting your body for acknowledgment.

You are first to integrate the body.

The body IS YOU (before you can ever think of transcending it). You are NOT the owner of the body.

This fake ownership makes you treat it like a bag of potatoes you carry with you. YOU ARE YOUR BODY. Communicate with the body as yourself. Not as something external to your ego identity. This fake distinction is actually whats blocking the flow of life force energy by concentrating it around the headspace through contractions.

And yes the body is a phenomon of awareness of course. But be careful.

Transcending the physical/material is certainly not about neglecting or rejecting.

It's easy to become a monk escapist. Love is more threatening than solitude. God can be found in love. Be willing to let your heart be broken through vulnerability. That's what this all is about. Vulnerability.

@Visionary Integrating the collective body-mind is currently part of my shadow work. I wouldn't limit this work to just 'my' body or mind.

Hence the part about ownership. Ownership is in a way prostituting the sacred temple. Like exploiting 'my' shadow in order to gain certain results. This is a huge healing trap. When the body is in pain (whether emotional or physical) the fake ownership results in distancing oneself of the sensation. Its quiet a process of deconditioning this fake relationship. It needs a loving attitude. Loving perception (not-knowing) of the inner child for example. YOU ARE those feelings. Those feelings cannot suffer. 

Of course through awareness the process unfolds.

@Visionary Consider there will be language breakdown in every communication. So yeah words like 'my', etc will be used.

However, your assumptions are quite bold, especially

I know. But do you really mind i used this assumption? If yes, why do you mind? What does that say about you? 

This makes a lot of sense intuitively. And i wouldn't be the first one to say it. I think its a very very necessary thing to say also. Especially for people who are unconsciously using the path to neglect their basic needs as a person. 

For advanced seekers this assumption would do NO harm. It makes quiet sense if you think about it. Unless you think duality has got nothing to do with love.

@Visionary I don't mind and see no harm. My seeking was over 5 years ago. 'Human being' is a nice concept, though

It is a very nice, beautiful concept indeed.

Sailing on top of a sea of never-ending change, pushed and pulled by the waves of concractive and expansive love.
How poetic am I this morning.

Sometimes I stare at myself in the mirror naked for like an hour straight

@Visionary It's common in an early awakening to experience No-Self and Non-Doership, it's just Non-Doership without an awakening to love can never be the final answer, Charles Manson has very Non-Doership quotes, but clearly had no awakening to love...

Aye, couldnt have said it better. Thats where being rooted in humanity becomes really important. Enlightened teachers like Matt Kahn en Gangaji really emphasized it.
