Lately Ive been noticing how my body seems sensitive. It reacts to various things more than maybe others would react, and although there are certain benefits to sensitivity there are also some side effects. But then sometime in the past few days I also had this thought, that maybe even though my body is sensitive, that doesnt mean that I am. I had a moment where it seemed that it was perfectly okay for there to be a difference between `my identity` and `the body`, and that the two dont necessarily have to correlate. After all, who I am is abstract, immortal spirit, and the body is just a symbol incapable of fully representing that. It can perhaps symbolize who I am, loosely, approximately, as a representation, but it certainly cannot BE me... so there is a difference between this form and my actual self. And that seems to be perfectly ok, even welcome. I guess its kind of like talking about your car - maybe you drive around in a rust bucket or it has certain issues or quirks, but it is just a vehicle with certain limitations on the level of form, and you work with it, through it, either with a holy purpose or an ego purpose. And you respect its limitations and look after it, but it is not you.
