LOL, so I was talking with a friend about this post and they laughed and said, "Wow, that was too much information in too short a period. Each of your points could be a large chapter in a book." I realize I jumped from nothing to conclusions pretty quickly. And as nobody responded, I probably didn't make much sense. I thought I would take a little time to focus on one particular aspect of my post and see if anyone will take the bait, try the experiment and respond...
I said,
Quote:We are essentially Gods over the intelligences in our bodies. For example, the intelligences that make up your heart cells look at the governing intelligences of the heart as Gods. The the Governing intelligences of the heart look at you, the governing intelligence of the body as a God.
Rather than tell you where YOU are, in your body, meaning where YOU the governing intelligence of the body is, your consciousness, why don't you try to find it? I'll give you a hint, YOU aren't in your foot. Where is your I AM? Not in your hand. Try to point to part of your body and ask yourself if YOU, (the smallest thing that makes you still YOU), is above or below that point. Is it to the left or to the right of that point? Is it on the outside near the skin or deeper in? How far in? See if you can find you. Try pointing at it from different angles, from front sides and back. Try to find yourself. LOL
It's a fun exercise I think let me know where you think you are. I will tell you where YOU are later.
Each cell in our body is alive, all by itself. It doesn't need us to be alive. We know this because we can take cells from our body and put them into someone else's body or even a petri dish and they will continue to live, grow, replicate, etc. without us. For example, blood cells can be put in someone else's body and they still live, thrive and function as if they were in our body.
In addition, our heart can be put into someone elses body and it will live and function. As long as it is feed and the waste is removed, the heart will stay alive. One experiment I read kept chicken hearts alive in a bottle for, I think, 60-70 years by regularly flushing it with nutrient rich fluid. The heart was alive for years and years after the chicken had died.
All life has a spirit, and intelligence. The smallest single cell organism, like an ameba, is alive. Every cell of our heart is alive, has a spirit. Each cell is part of a greater organization called the heart or the kidney, liver, lung, etc. But each cell is alive with its own spirit. then the group of cells comes together and are organized into a single unit we call the heart. The heart itself has a governing spirit or intelligence that represents all the cells that it governs. So, you can communicate with the heart as a whole and talk to the governing spirit of the heart or you can talk to an individual spirit of a cell in the hearts. (I get that this sounds a little weird, so lets try looking at something else...)
A forest works the same way. You can talk to the entire forest as a whole or you can talk to a single tree in the forest. The whole forest has a spirit called "the forest", but so does each individual tree. When Christ found the fig tree that bore no fruit, and cursed it, he spoke to the entire tree and all the cells that made up the tree. He could have spoken to a single limb if he wanted. If the tree was in a forest, he could have spoken to the entire forest as a whole.
The earth has a spirit. That spirit governs the entire earth, all the individual rocks, mountains, etc. You can talk to a mountain or to the entire earth.
So, back to our bodies. There are multiple levels of organized intelligence that create our body. When we talk about our body, we say, "My foot", "My hand", "my heart", etc. We reference things that we currently own. But we intuitively know that we are not our foot, or even in our foot. I am not my heart, it is part of me, but I understand that I might at some point have it replaced with a mechanical heart and yet I still would be me. My "I AM" does not exist in my heart. The intelligence, (or possibly council of intelligences), that I refer to when I say, "I" does not reside in my left hand. If I ask, "Where am "I" in my body?" I am looking for the smallest point that defines itself as "Me". I could loose my nose and still be me, so I am not in my nose. If my neck were cut off, "I" would still be "ME", My body would soon die, but "I" would still live. Where is the "I" located in our bodies? Some might say it is in our brain, but where in our brain? If you point at the front of your head, anywhere, "YOU" can tell if your finger is too high or low or to the left or to the right. If you point at your head on the side, "You" can tell if your finger is too low or high or maybe too forward or too backward...
Even if you don't know what organ "YOU" live in, you can tell where "YOU" lives and it isn't a general area like the brain. It isn't even an area like the frontal lobe. It is a VERY specific needle point. The question is, "Can YOU find "YOURSELF" in YOUR own body?"
