Msg 8.01.10 - Honor Your Temple
| August 2, 2010 Every living creature has its temple—its place of learning about the world, its pathway to the Great Energy. The martial artist honors his dojo by adhering to the rules of his Sensei and representing himself nobly to the outside world. The monk respects the sanctity of his temple by following in the light and teaching of his master. The outdoorsman reveres the forest, trekking in harmony with nature rather than destroying or tampering. The family man honors his home, by aspiring to peaceful communication and boundaries amidst his wife and children. And every human being must honor the sacred temple that is his or her body, for this is the ultimate gateway to Divine Wisdom; in this physical life, only through the body and mind, can men and women connect to the great Body and Natural Mind of the Absolute Reality. Just as the dojo has rules, the Temple has commandments, the natural world has laws, so too must you set terms or boundaries for your body and mind. Know what your Terms are! Determine what is right to ingest and to make contact with your particular being. Resolve to have emotional and physical boundaries, to which you hold strong and will not allow be penetrated by external substances or energies. Listen to your Gut—your Inner Voice—in determining what is right for YOU, as you are unique, and what may be right for you will not be right for others. Set your terms…and keep them! This is the way to keep your mind and body temple pure and true—a clear channel to divine inspiration. This self-truth and clarity is the greatest honor you can give to yourself. |
