Beautiful writing from Anita Teresa, 3rd day of the Summer Movement Monastery
The body wants to listen to itself.
It is consciousness relating, reaching out, to consciousness.
It is the same (concept) as “All relating to All,” the “I” corresponding to “I.”
‘For now we see through a mirror darkly, but then we will see face to face.’
The body is consciousness, just as the mind is consciousness. When one layer is peeled away, another version of essence appears, or is revealed.
Is not the body Reality, just as much as any other facet of existence?
This is why the body longs to speak to itself and be heard: it is one and the same conversation partner. It is its own mirror, its own surface reflecting divine nature, and its own pool under the surface. It is substance and essence together, as are all things. To listen to the body–who is doing the listening? Here is found again the puzzle of consciousness–self reflection.
The body is a prism of constantly shifting mirrors of perception;
A dialogue between lovers;
A parade of universes interacting and merging;
A shower of electrical microcosms rejoicing in themselves;
A feast;
A celebration;
A mesmerizing inner endless dance;
A miracle.
