Our Bodies, Our Temples

The Bible says that God created man in his own image. So does that mean God has cellulite? Or does it mean that who we really are has little to do with our bodies? Most of us have a belief that we are inseparable from our form. As a result of this [illusional] belief, many of us attach ourselves to our physical conditions. Some of us becoming addicted to prolonging the life experience, under the assumption that by looking younger, we will be younger. Our society is scared to death of dying. We have this mistaken belief that any threat to the body is a threat to our survival. But aren’t we something greater than our body and it’s diseases? The body is not a cause, but an effect and the proof of this is in the discovery of the mind-body connection to health. What we experience in this body is a result of the care, or lack thereof, of the temple which houses our soul.
