What a piece of work is Man

So what of our bodies? We have heard it said often that are bodies are a temple to our soul, and therefore must be treated with great reverence. But our body is obviously more than a building that is home for some nebulous thing some people don’t even believe in.
Our body is the ‘interface’ to the world we live in. Our knowledge and wisdom is (largely) gotten by way of our body and how it reacts and interprets the world around us.
If all we had were our mind and spirit, how would we know it was cold outside? Our mind can conceive the thought of cold, but unless our body experiences cold (and hot for that matter) we cannot truly understand what cold is. We know love in our thoughts and soul, but one of the first signs of intimate or passionate love is the rush of adrenaline, the foggy mind, and the breath getting slightly caught in our throat upon seeing our loved one. Not to mention the more beautiful, intimate aspects our bodies share in love. So some might say our body is not merely a housing unit, but rather a tool.
In the book Conversations with God, Neale Donald Walsch says that we (human beings) are Gods body. It is through us that God experiences things. Who are we to deny God her experiences?!
The bottom line is that our mind and soul are little without the body. Whether it be a temple, a tool or conduit to God; our body is critical to all of us. The trick is keeping it all in balance. Do not forsake the body in search of your soul or development of your mind, and do not focus strictly on your body for it’s pleasures and experiences at the detriment of your mind and soul. It is a dance in which all three must participate; only then can we truly hear and know the music. - So, ROCK ON
