the things they don't want us to know #1: your body is a temple

all sacred traditions and religions ask that you take your shoes off when you are entering their temple.
they say it’s a physical representation of God's home; a place where you commune with the creator.
however, how many of us were taught that our bodies were temples?
a place you only enter with a deep sense of reverence and definitely with your shoes off.
i mean how different would society look if we treated our bodies as temples?
i know this much, society isn’t here for you nor your growth.
you’re only a number in their books and your life definitely doesn’t matter.
to many, you are replaceable.
to most, you are invisible.
but what are you to yourself?
how do you treat your body?
we have been conditioned to treat our bodies like shit.
to overwork them.
to feed them whatever is fastest.
to treat them like a servant - to bypass them - to avoid them - to hate them, really.
THIS IS THE SAME PLACE WE ARE MEANT TO GO TO COMMUNE WITH GOD.
think about that for a second. this body is not to be worshipped, that IS NOT what i am saying.
it is however our sacred space.. when we sit and explore our inner world, we find God dwelling in the crevices of all the places we have been conditioned to run away from.
why?
why have we been taught to respect the external world more than our inner worlds?
well, for starters - because when you do, the external world becomes a thing you CONTROL.
it becomes easily malleable.
however, as long as you are focused on the external you are disconnected from God and you are easily controlled.
our bodies are the REAL temples. when you enter your inner world, you enter the REAL world.
ironic isn’t it.
that you have everything you need to create the reality you desire, inside that very minuscule thing you call your body.
to think that we have that much control can be frightening. to think we have that much power can be stagnating.
why do you think we have been conditioned to fear those who are different than us?
because when we fear each other, we fear ourselves.
and when we fear ourselves, we fear God.
and vice-versa. you can put those variables in any order and you’ll get the same result.
a very scared human, who gives away all their own liberties in exchange for an illusionary safety.
we’ve been duped.
it’s imperative that you wake up and start to put some respect on yourself and on your body.
this is a hologram, what you experience is what you have created for yourself.
when you take the backseat in your own life, someone else (or something else) is creating for you.
it’s time you wake up.
go inside!
they’ve been saying that a lot lately as it pertains to the times we are in.
but that’s all on purpose and all on time.
it’s like they want you to be confused. that’s why it is our duty and responsibility to literally go inside. not our 3d homes (the house you own or rent), but the home that houses our spirit (aka our bodies) …
our spirit is the piece of us that has direct access to the infinite - meaning you can access "the ALL" from THE INSIDE.
these are the things they don’t want us to know.
