No Body Can Contain My Spirit, Nor Impose On Me a Limitation

Despite appearances to the contrary, we are not these bodies. Wayne Dyer was fond of saying, “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”But we’ve made quite the association between the body and our sense of self. When the body exhibits certain symptoms - what we call illness - we don’t say “the body is ill.” Instead, we say, “I am sick.”When we dream at night, we very much associate our sense of self with the main character in the dream. But when we wake up in the morning, we realize it was just an illusion. We temporarily let go of “reality” and chose to inhabit a fictitious character in a dream. Yet while the dream was active, we completely believed it.The same is true with what we call our “waking state”. We think these bodies are “us”. But this isn’t reality. As we read in A Course in Miracles: "I am spirit. No body can contain my spirit, nor impose on me a limitation."When we accept limitation - which is anytime we are not at perfect peace - then we have temporarily lost sight of the fact that we are spirit, not these bodies.Support the show
