Life and values The blessing of the body Saint Francis of Assisi used to say that his body was a “tender little donkey” And he explained that the little donkey took him everywhere. Obedient, calm, demanding very little, with very few needs. When we think of this image created by Francisco, that our body would be our little donkey, we imagine that it is our working tool on Earth.
It is thanks to our body that we, spiritual beings, do an internship on the path of evolution. In the same way that, to move in the common world, we need vehicles to take us from here to there, to come from the Spirit world to Earth, we all need this bodily instrument, this vehicle that we call the physical body. However, it seems that few people give importance to the physical body as they should.
They treat it with a certain laziness, with a certain indifference, with a certain carelessness. But the physical body is, in fact, that remarkable blessing workshop, that wonderful little donkey that takes us everywhere. But it has its own needs.
Although San Francisco had a body that less expressed these needs due to the discipline imposed by the his owner, we all carry formidable needs in our bodies. But it is important to realize how much this body serves us. When we are in the Spirit world without it, we see through our everything, we feel through our everything, we hear through our integrity.
But, God is so merciful that when we come to Earth, in the blessing of rebirth, that listening channel is located through our ears. Let’s imagine that we were born into a physical body, listening through the entire body and looking through the entire body. For the gossipers it would be wonderful, for the curious it would be extraordinary, but it would be deeply disturbing to see through the entire body, to hear through the entire body.
So, we have the channels established, we listen only through the ears. And these channels have brain connections. We see only through the eyes and our eyes have brain connections.
We perceive by the sense of smell, only through the nostrils, but that sense of smell has its roots in our brain. We speak through the mouth and feel the touch in the whole body: the only thing that spreads throughout the whole body, because our whole body will need to perceive the environment where we are, because we will walk, we will sit, we will lie down, we will eat, we will touch objects, we will feel the weather. So, we need to have, in these sensitive cells, the perception of everything that surrounds us, of the whole world around us, of the entire environment.
This is why our physical body represents a blessing for us, and it still has a formidable element to enrich us with blessings. When we are in the world of Spirits, before coming to Earth, we carry the deep marks of our conflicts, of our fears, we carry the structure of our regrets, of guilt complexes. And the physical body, when we dive ourselves into it, serves as a muffler.
It is like a lamp that breaks the intensity of the luminosity and drowns us in our physical body, in relation to all the potentialities that we have. But, in addition, we forgot all the torments that haunted us, otherwise, it would be impossible for us to walk around the Earth and realize the commitments that we have to make. Hence, we see in the blessing of our physical body, that excellent opportunity that the Divinity offers us to be here protected, firm with our little body, with our “tender little donkey”.
It is worthwhile for us to think about this physical body, giving it what it needs, the opportunities it needs to have: good food, good nutrition, Work to get it moving, the rest that is part of the Laws of God. The body needs everything in the correct dosage. When we exceed ourselves in one way or another, we sacrifice it and, certainly, it will end our earthly existence sooner, because by mistreating it, we will die before.
We are presenting Life and values So that we do not die before our time, it is worth treating well that body that God has given us. It doesn't matter if he is fat, thin, tall, short, hurt or with some problems. It is the best that God had to give us.
It's the wealth that we carry around of the world and that we have to value it. Ah, some have big ears, others have big noses. No problem, everything is within what we need to live well on Earth, to be well in the world.
When we understand the processing of the body, we do not care about the exterior, it matters how great it represents to us. Imagine our brain, that extraordinary cabin where the great commander, who is the Spirit, performs the corporal administration. It is in the brain where all the instruments of our body are connected.
This is where the command cabin is. From a pinprick on the tip of the big toe to a hair pull, everything goes to the neurological center of sensations. We perceive a mosquito that walks on our skin, a flea that jumps on us, any insect, we feel cold water, hot water, cold weather, hot weather.
We feel everything, thanks to our touch. All this information goes to the brain. The images reach our eyes in an inverted way and the brain works so that everything is seen in its place.
The ear, the hammer, the anvil after the vibration of the eardrum, all this causes the auditory messages, the sound messages to reach our brain and we identify if it is the buzz of an insect, if it is a coin that fell, if it is the voice of so-and-so. We identify it with perfection. our brain is a great computer lab a computer booth where all things are selected by their classes, categories.
We know the voices that are familiar and those that are not familiar, the sounds that we already know and those that we ignore. But, when we go to the heart, my God! A small pump of nothing, almost the size of a man's closed hand that irrigates the whole body, whatever the size of that body.
This pump projects with its force the blood that is oxygenated by the lungs for the whole body. In the arteries, veins, vessels, in all regions of our physical body, the blood is carrying life, carrying nutrients, carrying. .
. carrying progress, like the rivers that cut a geographical territory. Our heart, which we seldom think about, moves thanks to the impulses of electricity.
Yes, it is true. A notable researcher, Dr His, discovered that our hearts, in its movement of systole and diastole, in its heartbeats, it is moved by electricity. The bundle of His, is a bundle moved by electricity, it is an electrical bundle that exists in our heart muscle, responsible for this polarization: systole, diastole.
When that doesn't happen, the heart stops and we leave the body. We die. This muscle so small, so strong, so precise, so capable, for a long time throughout the world was considered the organ of intelligence.
It was said that we learn things through the heart. Even to this day we say that, although we do not believe that it is through the heart, but we traditionally use these expressions: "I know it by heart. " When I know something very well, I say that I know it from my heart, “I know it by heart”.
“heart”. From PIE root “kerd-” and Latin “cor” So, the heart is that organ so important that the ancients admitted that it is through it that we know all things, we keep all the information. And when we like something, we keep it in our hearts: people, episodes, memories.
How important is our body, that it takes us everywhere. Sadly, we only feel its importance when it fails us. When our chest hurts and we have the feeling that we are going to die, in this moment we remind our body.
Many times, by that moment, it will already be too late. As long as we are young, mature or even in old age, let us take good care of our body, of our “tender little donkey” because whatever it is, it is for all of us who live here on the planet, the great blessing of God, the blessing of our body.
