Understanding Embodiment: Advancingtowards a lesser Body and more Soul]2 Published by The Ministry of Connected ConsciousnessPositing the experience of disembodimentDisembodiment or dissociation is a state when the body loses consciousness onlyto experience the limitless true experience in another world; where thoughts flowwith no restrictions; for there are no bodily features, but oneness with creation.Conscious disembodiment is the body’s expression of freedom to experience theelusive soul. We are conscious to the limit of our body, beyond whichconsciousness does not exist; it is a pure energy with forces and senses beyondthose that can be only germane to the body. In the physical world, a materialbody gives rise to a non-material shadow, but the laws of the other world couldbe different; hence one can think of the material body as the shadow of the non-material soul. As this bodily attachment grows, our physical desires get deeplyrooted within the egotism and sense pleasures of the bodily self, where thecompulsion of materialism through our senses overpowers the exquisiteness ofthe soul.Soul loves to experience the freedom from the known, so it prefers to impound itsown self as the body. The physical body is like a piece of cloth that wraps the souland is acquired as we develop from a unicellular to multicellular being; it’s acover-up for the true self that resides within us. Death is a mere dropping off ofthe body that has accumulated over a period of time to release the self. For thesurvival of the body we need the soul that thinks and collates informationprocessed by organized structures like the brain; which can be retrieved so longit stays connected. We are not what we think we are; for we are beyond the bodyand its senses. We vibrate not with the body but without the body and throughthese vibrations we perceive all that is around us; we resonate. Be it the brain orthe body, they are mediums that help us understand the meaning of bodily lifejust like the God’s of the countless religions that act as mediums in spiritual life.(Photo Credit: healingfrom the freeze – worldpress.com)September1, 2016[[Journal of Metaphysics and Connected Consciousness 2016 (In Press)]Reddy J. S. K. & Pereira, C. Understanding Embodiment: Advancingtowards a lesser Body and more Soul]3 Published by The Ministry of Connected ConsciousnessIf our true self is what we ultimately are, then why do we procure a body thatneeds to be shed with age? Why can’t we always be our true selves? Why shouldthe body need to bear pain? Creation abides the laws of nature and so everythingneeds to be transformed from one form to another. This transformation is whatcreates the body to shape the soul; for the soul has no shape without the body.Just like egoism, materialism is the price we need to pay for this entropic changewhich commences with the creation of the body; for the body gathers from theexterior as it grows around the soul and in the process of forming, enchants thesoul with its materialistic ways; thus the feeling of death always seems like aloss. A glimpse into what lies beyond death sets in a realization of what we trulyare, this can change in our approach towards the death of our bodily self.We must realize that everything that happens around us is needed, and does nothappen without a cause; for we are the cause and pain for our own bodily life.Similarly everything that we are made up of is made for a reason; a small changein this design can result in the loss of the body and liberation of the soul. Thebody clings to the soul and forms a bond that seems unbreakable; breaking sucha bond is difficult for the body but not for the soul. Without the body the soulbears no shape, but with the body the soul takes shape of the body. So long theshape of the body remains intact the shape of the soul retains; for a detachedsoul will stay alongside a body until the body is completely blemished mentallyand physically, which is when the release or dispersal takes place.The growth of the body depends on what it gathers during its survival, but thesoul only sustains itself; for it is unchangeable and unlimited. To experience itstrue potential, the dimensionless soul manifests itself in the physical dimensionas a body. It crafts a phenomenon called the mind to identify and experienceitself. Even though the soul knows that the experience is limited by the senses ofthe body; it craves to perceive its boundless and vast nature from the boundedenvelop and glimpse into state of attribute-less through the attributed doorwaysof the body. Thus the mind is linked to the body, thinks for the body, but whenthe soul is out of the body, the mind can think no more; for the liberation of thesoul is liberation of thoughts created through materialistic needs and beliefs. Thesoul when with the body vibrates at frequencies that build connections with oneanother and with the universe. Upon dropping the body, the frequency of thesoul blends with the frequency of the universe, making us resonant beings.Fate of being embodiedIn today’s world, the greed for materialist needs has led to the liberation of manysouls, but has hurt and mutilated the bodies of many.

Understanding Embodiment: Advancingtowards a lesser Body and more Soul]4 Published by The Ministry of Connected Consciousnessunderstand and explore the beauty of this world, can be shattered in no time.The shape of the body can be ruined to a state where even the soul may weep forthe body; where being conscious does not feel magical, but feels like a curse.This 5 year old boy never expected his body to be mutilated in such a manner; henever meant to have memories that cannot be wiped away easily. At the age of 5,his body is growing and so is his brain, this is the age he needs to play, explore,understand, and most importantly smile. But in a flash of a second, an airstrikedestroys him within and puts him in a state of shock where he is neitherconscious nor unconscious; a state where you don’t know whether to smile or notto smile. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZw3VpGPqM4 Video credit: NewsToday’s Trending“They may torture my body but my soul will stay unhurt; for their materialisticneeds cannot last forever; someday these needs will perish to the real”(Photo Credit: News Today’s Trending)“There will be a time when my vibrations will be felt and appreciated; myawareness will flow beyond limits; this is when I will truly smile”.Why be in a body when being out of it is so beautiful and peaceful? Why is theembodied state so materialistic driven? Is there so much happiness inmaterialism, that the soul is forgotten? To be embodied in today’s world means toexperience pain mentally and physically especially with the ones that hurt themost. The soul watches the body beyond its senses and the bodily limitations oftime and space and asks “Why am I in this body?”September1, 2016[[Journal of Metaphysics and Connected Consciousness 2016 (In Press)]Reddy J.

Understanding Embodiment: Advancingtowards a lesser Body and more Soul]5 Published by The Ministry of Connected Consciousness“Disembodied, I shall be free of misery that my body is facing; for in this instancemy clothes have been torn of my soul and as time goes by they will be rippedfurther to release my soul.”Towards less body and more soulThe world is gradually becoming dark with destruction. Death at all stagesoccurs across the globe as the killing continues and the greed for materialisticneeds progresses. Bodies are growing and bodies are perishing. Every now andthen, souls are liberated and souls are clothed, and with this change the body islosing its identity, its vigour; for someday the body may be more soul than thebody itself. The soul has the ability to materialize and dematerialize into bodilyforms as per will; such an irreversible entropic change may change the trueexistence of life. The avarice for materialistic needs mutilates the body physicallyand mentally, and unshackles the soul; for as we grow in our materialistic ways,the body and its senses will need to bear this excessive burden as we graduallyprogress towards a lesser body and more soul.
