Why were we given a body? It demands so much. It tires, ages, and needs constant care.
Some resent this dependence. They dream of a future where technology extracts and uploads their minds to the internet. Then, they imagine, they’ll soar forever like an eagle. Or maybe more like the Holy Spirit.
Others, in contrast, dig deep into the physical—like roots burrowing into the earth. They cherish sensations, emotions, and feelings. Massages, yoga, scents, supplements, delicious and healthy food—this is how their days fly by.
It’s easy to see the flaw in both approaches.
The first locks a person out of life, trapping him in an artificial framework. The second drowns the salt of individuality in the waters of mere existence. The person lives but barely notices.
We need a bridge—between thoughts and feelings, the hidden and the obvious, heaven and earth. Synthesis is the way to unite opposites into something whole. Our body is the vessel where this metamorphosis unfolds.
A tree stands for a thousand years because it has not just roots and branches—but a trunk.
Yours sincerely,
