On Embodying

What I have been calling embodying, as well as most others here in the body mecca of Boulder, Colorado, is mostly a mental concept. Does the body really need to embody? No way! Because our busy mind continually experiences lack of space, and time, it wants to take over the world of the body and set up territories under its control. What the body actually needs is for the small mind to release its hold and let it freely exchange energy between the inner life of the cells and the outer life of community, planet, and cosmos. Then there is no need to embody, all is just a flow of being!

The Water of the Unborn

Water is the element of the Unborn, the pre-formal and pre-existent state. Immersion in warm water, above the surface and even more below the surface, is a direct experience of the unborn state. Absorption in this state dissolves the form making mind and allows the unborn mind to emerge. This is the territory of undifferentiated love, bliss, and true potency. Unforming the mind/body is the necessary first step for any transformation to occur. How easy it is to forget this and keep "working" at transformation. What a giant cosmic joke! So, I say let's abide in the unformed moment and get into "no shape".

The Heart of Love

I am considering all activity to occur within my heart space. If who I am is the larger body of water, then the heart is the magnificent fluid pump for living water. From this perpective, water and love are inseparable. Since the heart is the engine for the flow of life, the flow of blood, and the flow of love, we are continually saturated and transformed by the water of love. So I say, when I am absorbed in the unified field of love water, there is no need to search for love, because it lives in every cell, animal, plant, cloud, ocean, and teardrop. I just need to open my watery eyes and see from the heart of water!

The Body of Water

When we enter water, we are entering a small portion of the vast body of water. This large body of water is a cohesive and intelligent, living, functioning being. It is the matrix of life for human beings as well as for the whole planet. Not only that, water is universal, found on distant planets, gas clouds, and other structures throughout the universe. So, water is our biocosmic body, existing both outside and inside the permeable border of our skin.
