Enlightenment and not the body identification is something which is got to be experienced, not words can describe it...

Many people have asked me what happens to the body after awakening. There is a lot of confusion. This is natural as the mind cannot understand Truth and will always become attached to words and miss what the words are pointing to.


So let’s see if we can clear some of this confusion up.


1. Does the body The illusion of the body.

As long as you identify with your body or even believe you understand what this body is, you are greatly limiting what it can do. This is where the illusion of the body comes in. The best medical and scientific knowledge have absolutely no idea what this body is. You don’t either. Neither do I. Those who have stopped their identification with the body and belief in the body’s limitations experience a very different body from those who are still under this illusion. This is the main reason why at 67 years old this body can lift almost twice the weight it could as a twenty year old athlete. It can run faster and longer. It is more flexible. Without identifying with it or believing in the conditioned limitations, it is amazing what it can do. Many of us have heard stories of yogis and taoist masters who could perform miraculous feats with their bodies that defy all logic and science. This is why. The body is not what we think it is. Compared to our True Infinite Self, it is limited. It is subject to time, to birth and death. But it is far, far less limited than our scientific knowledge will tell you. with the body and as the body does disappear. Awakening means that illusions dissolve leaving clear seeing. So the body is still here, but you no longer identify with this body or as this body. It is just a body. And you have no idea what this body is. As clear as I can be, you will still misunderstand until you experience this for yourself. If you identify with your body right now, then you will not be able to understand what it is like to not identify with it until you no longer do.



The body is not what you think it is.

Nothing is what you think it is. As long as you think you know what the body is, you only know an illusion. Even your idea and understanding of what an illusion is is not true. The best we can do is admit that we don’t know. Admit that we don’t know anything. Start from this beginners mind, a mind that is open, a mind that is clear like space. Then you will experience the body in an entirely different way. You will experience an incredible miracle that is here to be experienced in every moment as something completely new. And it will teach you things that no medical or scientific text book ever could.


When you can see it like this, with an open and clear mind, then the body is no longer an illusion. It is Truth. Everything is Truth. And it will teach you more than I or any spiritual teacher ever could.
