Parts of your body

For a moment, let's imagine that we dissected all of your organs and placed them on a table. Imagine the sound of your heart beating outside of you. If you looked at your heart, you wouldn't say, "That's me." "That is my heart," you think. Feel your breath now. Feel it along with your heartbeat, which is also always beating but of which you are rarely aware. "I am my breath," you do not say. I'm breathing, you declare. Consider your liver. your kidneys as well. Take a moment to consider your blood and bones. Consider your fingers, legs, hair, and head as well as your brain. You can see them clearly. They are only components. In the end, they are (usually) replaceable and removable and they’re all entirely temporary. You don’t think of them and see “I.” You think of them and you see things. If you pulled them apart, they’d just be compilations of cells. You don’t see them and think: “That’s me!” "Those are mine," you say. Why does it matter if we assemble them and attach them? Your chest, throat, and possibly a little amount of your head is all concentrated with energy and feel heavy with presence. It has a centre. Your legs are completely numb to you. In your arms, you don't feel anything. It is fundamental. The organs we don't identify with and the energies we do dwell there. What would remain if we eliminated the latter? What if anything? What remains when you are absent? Have you ever occupied the chair? Ever sat there contemplating that? Have you ever touched your entire body and understood that each component is not "I"? Have you ever experienced a kind of a livened presentness when you are attached? Have you ever distinguished between what you refer to as yours and who you are as a person? Knowing who you are helps you feel grounded and provides direction. However, we develop attachments when we give words and definitions to things we already know we enjoy, value, and desire. Then, we make an effort to keep events inside the bounds that we have already accepted. We produce failure from that. We inflict suffering on ourselves. We start to think that a static concept may stand in for a living, growing creature. Our biggest complaints are the ways we don't live up to the expectations we have for ourselves Because we don't like the contents, I believe that occasionally we become connected to the buildings. The idea of what the title signifies rather than the actual day-to-day work of the job, the question "Do you promise to love me forever?" rather than the actual day-to-day loving, are all more important to us than who we are. This means that rather than accepting things as they are, we choose to console ourselves with fantasies of what they might be. We like to think of ourselves as bodies because it prevents us from having to ask, "What else?" indefinitely. What if, though, the "what else" isn't the conclusion but rather the starting point? What if becoming conscious of it liberates us from so much, calms so many thoughts, and eases so many pains? What if treating yourself meant changing your presence, awareness, or energy rather than your attitude, perspective, or aesthetic? In this scenario, healing the whole does not involve healing the parts. Being conscious of the aspects of yourself that are not "I" is the only thing that can transform you and your life. It is the total; it is where you go; it is where you started; it is the one and only thing that changes; it is what prompts the awareness that led you to wonder about the components of its vessel. I'm not actually requesting that you think about the theories. Simply said, I want to know if you can sense it.
