Body before..

Mind.

         Which came first, the body or the mind? Obviously (as seen in Bereishis) the body. Yet we spend all of our time focussing solely on the mind. How much suffering has resulted from this grave mistake. The body is a marvelous machine that is far beyond anybodies ability to grasp in complexity, on so many levels. We all have one. We are all given one for free as a welcoming gift into life. In the morning we thank Gd for giving back our souls. This is profound. Clearly the body comes before the mind, and the soul. When one mistreats the body, there is a wide ranging catastrophic shut-down. We must utilize all of our facilities to care for the body, and set aside stimulating the mind. Our focus must be on the body if we are ever to posses the power of the mind. A sick body is called "dis-ease-d".

Dis-1  a Latin prefix meaning “apart,” “asunder,” “away,” “utterly,” orhaving a privative, negative, or reversing force ( see de-, un-2 );used freely, especially with these latter senses, as anEnglish formative: disability; disaffirm; disbar; disbelief;discontent; dishearten; dislike; disown.

Ease[eez] noun, verb, eased, eas·ing.

–noun

1. freedom from labor, pain, or physical annoyance; tranquilrest; comfort: to enjoy one's ease.

2. freedom from concern, anxiety, or solicitude; a quiet stateof mind: to be at ease about one's health.

3. freedom from difficulty or great effort; facility: It can bedone with ease.

         So simple, yet so difficult to master. Our biggest stumbling blocks will always be two things:

One -The people in our environment that distract us and bring us down.

Two - Our own self destructive nature.

         A master is one that knows the truth and carries it out. This is near to impossible when the people around us spend all of their energy trying to beat us instead of trying to help us. So many are very endowed with strength, which they abuse, by killing as many of the people around them as they can. They do it with a loving smile and believably loving emotion. They say they are Saints.

         The word is mightier than the sword my friends. So, get it together. Take control of your life. Don't rely on others. Be as great as you can, must, and are created to be.

Gd bless..
